<p>Based on your SAT, I’d say it’s a definite safety.
Based on your extracurriculars, I’d say it is a safety.
I don’t think a 3.6 GPA is going to help you get in, but it won’t hinder you.
Assuming you are ranked in the top 25% of your class, I’d say Vermont is a safety for you!
(If not, I’d say it’s a a less safe safety, but a safety nonetheless 
)</p>
<p>I just found out that my school doesn’t put class rank or percentile on transcripts.</p>
<p>Hmm…
The only reason I mentioned rank is because like 98% of U of Vermont students are ranked in the top 50% (if they are ranked) so not being ranked where the majority of students are ranked could be detrimental (to those who have a rank). No rank could be useful to you because comparatively, your SAT might be a little stronger than your grades, and no rank might move the emphasis to your SAT because they won’t be able to “contextualize your GPA” if you will.</p>
<p>None of this should matter much though, because you are a shoe-in for Vermont in my opinion. If you are treating it like a safety, and as your only safety though, just be aware that Vermont is one of U.S. News’ Up-and-Coming Schools, which sometimes means acceptance rates are declining at that school.</p>
