<p>Looking at the Common Data Set info for the 2010-2011 admissions, it looks like Allegheny is more of a match than a safety. Your numbers fall well within their accepted parameters, though. 24% were in your GPA range, 15% were in your Critical Reading SAT range (700-800) and 34% had SAT math of 500-599. If I had to guess, I’d say it looked good for you. Allegheny does pay attention to your level of interest and it says they consider an interview to be important. Have you interviewed?</p>
