<p>Yep, you guys are worrying too much. When you take the SAT or ACT the colleges will contact you with tons of info on schools that are in your range. You really need to figure out what you want to major in before picking a school just for it's reputation. A 3.4 grade point average won't get you into top schools but there are still hundreds of colleges who want you. I think deciding on a major and checking out colleges for how well they teach that major is important.</p>
