<p>I’ll answer the question more generally.</p>

<p>Here’s where I think your 3.3uw 3.6w GPA, rigorous curriculum, and 1300ish SATs would put you into a match range:</p>

<p>USNWR National Universities: Match at about 80. Range of about 50 - 100 – where 50 is a plausible reach
USNWR LACs: Match at about 40. Range of about 25 - 70
USNWR Regional Colleges: Match at about #3 on each list, range of 1-7 or so.</p>

<p>Now is the time for YOU to look into those ranges for all three categories and think about the above listed three category ranges. IDEAL college experience would be composed of.</p>

<p>If your parents can pay full boat, you can almost match to the smaller number in your range. If you will need financial aid, the match slides toward the larger number in your range (unless the school specifically states on its FA website that it is “Need Blind” in admissions.</p>

<p>P.S. to check how your exact stats compare to applicants accepted/rejected to each college you like, go to <a href=“http://www.collegedata.com%5B/url%5D”>www.collegedata.com</a>, then find the Admission Tracker section, then input the college you want, and look at a Scattergram of accepted/declined. Remove from the pulldown options the data points Legacy/Athlete and ED/EA – they aren’t relevant to your chances.</p>
