<p>Pitt; Fordham; American; St Josephs; Loyola MD; Towson. If UMD is not your home state flagship, then public schools within your state.</p>
<p>I think that your top 50% ranking might hurt you. </p>
<p>I agree with #3’s post. </p>
<p>Also…</p>
<p>Seton Hall</p>
<p>well im 207/700… its closer to the 25% than the 50%…</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>What will the GC indicate? Will he/she indicate rank or top percent? If “top percent,” then 25% won’t be indicated, because you’d need to be at least 185/700 to be top 25%.</p>
<p>You say that “cost” is secondary. Is that because you have the funding, or is that because you’d rather deal with that issue in the spring? Unless, you have adequate funding, you need to have a couple of financial safeties. Otherwise, you could be sorely disappointed in the spring, if your FA packages don’t make going affordable.</p>
<p>What is your home state?</p>
<p>Bentley
Fairfield
Canisius</p>
<p>it will have the rank not the percent plus I go to a public high school that is ranked in the 400s the country so that should help.</p>
<p>I have adequate funding so money is not an issue</p>
<p>I live in Texas.</p>
<p>Rutgers. I can see you getting in without a problem. As mom2collegekids said also I’d second Seton Hall since it’s not that hard of a school to get into since my brother went there. Not that great of a school though imo. SUNY-Bing and maybe Stony Brook also I’d add.</p>
