<p>Kenyon might be a low reach, esp. if you are female without a hook.</p>

<p>Vassar: high reach
Kenyon: low reach
Trinity: low reach
Connecticut College: low reach
Dickinson: low reach / high match
Skidmore: high match
College of Wooster: mid match
Earlham: mid match
Ohio Wesleyan: low match
Goucher: low match</p>

<p>Your SAT is okay for some of these schools, but with a B/B+ average, your GPA is probably ~3.0-3.3, which is lower than the average GPA for all of these schools. I’d recommend you keep your reaches but replace the two matches with legitimate safeties.</p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Any thoughts on safeties that would be good for someone wanting a college with lots of student activities and community service options, experiential learning and interdisciplinary courses, good faculty/student links and lots of student discussions?</p>
