<p>I’d say this is a really solid list of schools for you, assuming you love them all. Unfortunately, your GPA and ACT score are far below the average UPenn applicant, so I’m afraid that’s out of reach for you. However, you still have wonderful stats, and all these schools are great :)</p>
<p>-Reaches-
GWU: high reach
BU: low reach
College of NJ: low reach</p>
<p>-Matches-
Rutgers: high match
Pitt: high match </p>
<p>-Safeties-
Quinnipiac: low match / safety
Seton Hall: safety</p>
<p>Schools:
University of Pennsylvania- HIGH reach, least likely
George Washington University - Reach
Boston University - Reach
Rutgers University - Match
The College of New Jersey - Match
University of Pittsburgh - Match
Quinnipiac University - Match
Seton Hall University -Safety</p>
<p>Anyone else?? This is my own opinion:
Penn: Dream but I’ll still apply (better to try & fail then to never try at all)
GWU: Reach
Boston U: Reach
The College of New Jersey: High Match?
Rutgers: High Match
Pitt: Match?
Quinnipiac: Low Match/Safety
Seton Hall: Safety</p>
<p>It’s important because I want my list to have 3 reach schools, 3-4 match schools and 1-2 safety schools!</p>
<p>Actually Rutgers is a match not high match</p>
<p>University of Pennsylvania: high reach
George Washington University: reach
Boston University: reach
Rutgers University: match
The College of New Jersey: match
University of Pittsburgh: high match
Quinnipiac University: low match
Seton Hall University: safety</p>
<p>Thanks man. That’s what I think too</p>
<p>Schools:
University of Pennsylvania: reach
George Washington University: match
Boston University: low reach
Rutgers University: match
The College of New Jersey: low match/high safety
University of Pittsburgh: match
Quinnipiac University: safety
Seton Hall University:safety</p>
<p>Ravens18: It looks like you’re getting the same opinions over and over. If you’re simply looking for someone to verify your own beliefs, that’s already happened, and regardless, you’re not going to get many differing opinions. I recommend you add another match or remove a reach, but beyond that, you’re fine. :)</p>
