@TheGreyKing Thank you for replying! I do like the school and will still apply there - that is a very good point about yield protection, though, and I’ll probably start looking at it as more of a match. Naviance data does state that over the past two years, all 15 applicants from my school with a 35+ ACT and 4.2+ WGPA were accepted, but you can never be too careful.
Could you possibly recommend any matches or safeties that I should look into?
@Nicki20 That is most likely true. But that’s the literal definition of a match school - a school at which you are a competitive applicant, but not a definite shoo-in. I’m not saying that because I have a 36 ACT, I’m guaranteed to get into these schools. What I am saying is that because I have the GPA, other test scores, competitive extracurriculars, and what will be excellent essays to back it up, I believe I have a pretty good shot at them.
