I think you’re right that oos publics will look primarily at your numbers and you are hurt by your school’s competitiveness. However, I think you have a great shot at a lot of solid schools. One of my kids had a similar profile and was admitted to U Arizona and Indiana U at Bloomington. I saw on another post that your list included UMBC, George Mason and VCU. I think you have a very good shot at UMBC and VCU. I can’t predict George Mason oos because Virginia publics have become so competitive that it has trickled down to GMU. If your school has Naviance, you may have a better idea where you can go. If you are interested in smaller liberal arts schools, you may be able to leverage your being male or geographic diversity for a more highly ranked school.
