<p>Tough call. School has a 48% acceptance rate, you have competitive SAT numbers, 650hrs comm service, and a low gpa. I'd say you'd be in if you had the gpa, but w/o the gpa numbers they want you become a reach. You have a shot; you're way closer to a slight reach than a big reach. Good luck; where else are you looking?</p>

<p>ursinus, muhlenberg, tcnj....</p>

<p>And i did ED to Roch if thats improves my chances at all</p>

<p>Alright, w/ your list Ursinus (match) seems like the best bet. Would you be happy there or are you interested in looking at some other schools? If so, where (location) would you like to go?</p>
