<p>My stats:</p>

<p>G.P.A. - 3.45 (unweighted)
All honors and AP core classes and four years of a foreign language
SAT: 560- Reading, 540- Math, 550- Writing (<<First time, will be retaking)
Only 4 EC's (Mentoring, FCCLA, Foreign Language Club, Prom Committee)</p>

<p>My matches so far are:</p>

<p>Catholic University of America
American University
Goucher College
Wheaton College
Connecticut College
Simmons College
University of Cincinnati (safety)
Indiana University (safety)</p>

<p>My major will be International Affairs (or something similar).</p>

<p>Any more suggestions on matches that fit my stats well?</p>

<p>I’d throw more safeties into there; your GPA and SATs only put you in the middle range for Cincinnati and Indiana.</p>

3

<p>Cincinnati breaks down their acceptance rates by major. International Affairs has an acceptance rate of 97%, and Indiana University is my local in-state school.</p>

<p>However, I would welcome suggestions for more safeties as well.</p>

4

<p>Can you afford your OOS schools?</p>

5

<p>I only have two public schools on my list, IU and UC, and yes, I can afford both of those even if I don’t get any scholarships or FA. As far as the private schools go, all of the tuitions exceed well over $40,000 so my ability to attend will be based on FA packages because there is no way I can spend $160,000 on undergrad when I plan to get a master’s and go to law school.</p>

6

<p>Earlham and Denison</p>

7

<p>The SATs are a good 100 points below the 25%ile for Denison so not a safety nor a match.</p>

<p>They are in the middle 50% for Earlham.</p>

8

<p>Here’s a little bit about Earlham’s International Studies program:
[International</a> Studies | Earlham College](<a href=“http://www.earlham.edu/internationalstudies]International”>http://www.earlham.edu/internationalstudies)</p>

9

<p>If my recollection is correct you do not need to submit test scores for admission to Denison and according to the admissions counselor a 3.5 GPA is a match for Denison.</p>

10

<p>Where are these two schools located?</p>

11

<p>res ipsa, good point about the scores. I forgot Denison went optional on the tests.</p>

<p>aind555, is your Google broken? You could have googled both schools in the time it took you to post that question. Earlham is in Richmond Indiana and Denison is in Granville OH.</p>
