Match vs. Safety - please help confirm list for student with 3.4 GPA

I always google college make + student profile.

90% of time you get the admission stats. It’s clearer for me than the cds. Often niches admin % are off but it’s directional.

My daughter applied to 21. I had her in at 16. She got into 17 ( issues a low reach) so I think using the data from cds or the school website will help a lot.

If one is majoring in engineering it’s more difficult. Those kids have higher stats.

If it’s a liberal art or business etc it will likely flow in line with your list except a school like IU which is a top b school.

Btw u noted access to internships…many/most kids today find on their own. That would be secondary to me as far as a choosing school point.

You have your safeties. Make sure you apply to 2 or 3. The guessing after that matters little as you have a home to go.

And if you struck out on all and you wont, there are safety schools you can get into may and later…just not on the list you provided.

Breathe deep. You’ve done a nice job segmenting.

Did I miss the major ?
