<p>The real question is, why are you scared? You’re good for a lot of those schools you listed.</p>

5

<p>Your school will help you much more based on the responses you’ve already gotten above like Dartmouth low reach and Colgate safe. I’m pretty sure you already know that’s not the case. </p>

<p>They keep great records at prep schools and have good counselors. They know the colleges know where you rank. They know how many athletes and legacies are applying to the schools and can pretty much pinpoint where you have a shot.</p>

<p>i’ve been recieving negative vibes from my parents who think i can’t get in anywhere due to my freshman year GPA and that’s why I am not so confident.</p>

7

<p>that gpa is slackin</p>

8

<p>At a top private school, a 3.6 GPA puts you in the top 20% of the class many times.</p>

<p>hamilton, a safety? i think not…</p>

10

<p>i agree…hamilton is highly selective.</p>

<p>Sorrry, but Hamilton’s HxC. I’d say…reach? :expressionless:
USC and Dartmouth, however, you have an excellent shot. </p>
