jgsmith1 -I just gave UMD as an example. It was my ‘safe’ safety school because I live in MD. Their average scores and grades were lower than other universities I applied too and my own. I got into Gemstone and Honors. For everyone else, their state school should be easier to get into than private schools like GW. It just happens that my state public university is also in the top hundred in the country. There are other good public universities that are fairly easy to get into with good credentials…I don’t know if it is easy for an out of state student because I did not apply to an out of state public university.
Hope that clarifies what I said before :)!!
