<p>BGSU - reach
Keane - reach
MCS - reach
UH - reach</p>

<p>Consider going to a CC. Honestly, all of those schools are reaches. Based on that performance, and this is something many overlook, you may have difficulty in those schools if you DO get in.</p>

<p>Geez, you guys don’t doubt Kean would except me? I thought that was a sure thing.</p>

<p>My SAT math score is higher than 75% of the people that got accepted there. My SAT CR score is on par. I have a GPA under 3.0, so did 48% of the people that got accepted there did.</p>

<p>I thought Kean was a safety, not a reach. Perhaps I see it differently than you guys.</p>

<p>Bump Bump Bump</p>

<p>why do you continue to bump this? You already got your answer from College Confidential.</p>

<p>I just want a few more opinions, if that’s ok. I don’t mean to annoy you, I just want some more perspective. </p>

<p>I have a guidance counselor that doesn’t care. Parents who never even been to High school, let alone college.</p>

<p>This is the place I can turn to, so excuse me for wanting more than the opinions of 2 people to help me decide my future.</p>

<p>Look into Community Colleges as safeties…</p>

<p>A safety needs to be a place that you can absolutely guarantee that you will get in. Guarantee. If you’re in the middle in any category… you can’t call that a safety. Hope for the best, but you should have some places lined up just in case you don’t get in.</p>

<p>Better to be over prepared than underprepared.</p>

<p>Well, 100% of accepted students had below a 4.0 GPA, and your GPA is below 4.0!</p>

<p>In seriousness, there’s a big difference between “below 3.0” and a 2.3. One thing you could consider is either applying to a CC (as was mentioned) or applying to a satellite campus of a larger school. For example, instead of applying the University of Houston, apply to UH-Downtown. Collegedata’s entry for UH-D says “Virtually all applicants accepted regardless of high school rank or test scores” - basically a CC. Then after a few semesters, transfer to the main campus.</p>
