How important is it to have a "low match" college?

Yes! I always forget there is also University of Richmond. :slight_smile: Which might be another option come to think of it but I gather from your posts that you probably aren’t looking southward.

With your stats I would say Lehigh, Bucknell, Boston College, Rochester, Wake Forest or Holy Cross.
