I know not unless you are a college admission administrator most people have to "guess" what their chances are for certain colleges. Many people says a 3.43 GPA is average. To give you some background info, most of my classes were Honors and AP classes, and just a few reg. courses here and there throughout my 3 years of high school so far. I took one SAT so far and got a 1920, I'm going to take it again in October and maybe for the third time in November. I ended up taking the ACT's and got a 29.

I was wondering if these colleges would be a reach, safety, or match for me. Before some of you answer I do not want to go to community college and transfer.

Oh and to some people who think I'm trying to make them do all the work. Did you read? I'm looking for which colleges would be good hence I am doing research on it. I just wanted a second opinion aside from websites, teachers and etc. When I look at the answers I could tell what was a well thought out answer or just BS.... read more
