<p>Never!!!</p>
<p>I haven’t, but at least I don’t pretend to.</p>
<p>rastafarian,</p>
<p>What are you confused about? </p>
<p>I think most of the adults here would agree that your record makes it reasonable to apply to some highly selective universities. Some of them offer better financial aid than others, so do some research there. In addition, you definitely want to include admission safeties and financial safeties unless you are a gambler and don’t mind the prospect of a year out of school while you regroup.</p>
<p>I think you might get more suggestions if you comment on your preferences with regard to large/small/mid-size schools, urban or rural, type of program/major that interests you, etc.</p>
<p>I also agree that Fordham is a great choice…excellent academics, but not in a position to require that students have really good credentials across the board (so they’d be more likely than the reaches to overlook the OP’s low gpa). Boston University and Villanova would also fit that category. Boston College would be worth a shot also.</p>
<p>With students with uneven credentials (like high test scores and (relatively) “low” gpa like the OP), people should be careful about living vicariously through them and promoting the concept of going to the very best college she can possibly get in. There is something to be said for going to a college at which you are at the middle or higher end of the student body, academically. Going to an extreme reach might result in a lowish gpa that will sink chances for grad/med/law/business school.</p>
