3.0 GPA = what admissions selectivity rating?

<p>GPA is 3.0-3.2ish, SATs scores will likely be in similar B-student range. In searching schools via Princeton Review, what selectively rating should I be looking for to find schools that will likely admit B students? 90 and under?</p>

<p>wait</p>

<p>did you calculate your gpa like this</p>

<p>4= a, 3= b, 2=c, 1=d, and 0=f</p>

<p>or avg%/25 ?</p>

<p>I calculated it like my school does - A=4, B=3, etc.</p>

<p>alright, you should probably look into schools such as rutgers, penn state, northeastern, bently, and some others on this level. bes sure to include some safeties.</p>

<p>I would look for schools that accept 50% or more of the applicants and have an average SAT score not much higher or lower than yours.</p>

<p>I have no idea what this selectivity rating is, but in the Parents’ forum there is a post somewhere about colleges for B students that you should check out.</p>

<p>What major or field of study do you plan to pursue? Where are you from?</p>

<p>Northeastern I’d think would be a good match. BU and GWU would be good reachs. It really depends on what your SATs are.</p>

<p>i know what your talking about heh. Best suggestion is to do the online princeton review counselor thing. Even if the schools arn’t what you’re looking at, you can figure out what selectivity ratign you are by looking at the selectivity of the match/reach/safety. </p>

<p>I don’t know exactly what number you are, but probably in the book you’d be like low to mid 80s for a match, high 80 to maybe 90 a reach and below 80 a safety.</p>
