I’m a junior and I was looking at colleges with my guidance counselor and when looking at F&M she said it would be a low match/borderline safety but that Gettysburg would definitely be a safety and I could probably get significant merit aid. For background, I have a 3.4 GPA and recently got an 1850 on he SAT (if you wanna help me out in that dept. check out my other post) and will retake it and should get above at least like a 1950. Anyway I was just confused because I thought they were similar schools academically.
Also so you know the average GPA at F&M from my school is like a 3.4-3.5 but they usually accept everyone that applies and the average for Gettysburg is a 3.0-3.1
I’d agree that F&M is probably a match and Gettysburg is more of a safety.
