<p>I’m hoping you’re not considering rutgers umd vatech and gw on the same level of the others. </p>

<p>Anyway, for those aforementioned ^^^ a B won’t hurt you at all. If you have above a 3.0 (especially at Rutgers) you’re pretty much in. Barring of course horrible SAT scores.</p>

<p>As for CMU, Dartmouth, Hopkins, USC as long as your GPA is 3.7+, one B isn’t going to kill you. Top schools even don’t care about C’s as long as you maintain a high GPA. (Granted of course C’s are consistent).</p>

<p>thank you.</p>

<p>but what do you mean by

</p>

<p>aren’t they easier to get in than the bolded schools? i’m instate for VA, so umd and rutgers would be hard for OOS admission purposes, and gw is nuetral</p>

<p>Being out-of-state is not a huge detriment. As long as you have semi decent scores, you’ll get in (to Rutgers) UMD is a bit harder and GW a bit harder than that. But in total, the schools you have listed are very different - my comment was more directed at (1) the schools hopkins, Dartmouth, USC, CMU are extremely difficult to get into. Much more difficult than the others you have listed. These schools are also much better than the others you have listed.</p>

<p>oh i see.</p>

<p>yes i agree. would you group USC with dartmouth, cmu, & jhu? or with umd, gwu, and tech, & rutgers?</p>

<p>Assuming USC is University of Southern California and not University of South Carolina (both of which are abbreviated USC), then yes USC is with Dartmouth, JHU, CMU.</p>

<p>If it’s USC as in South Carolina, then it’s with UMD, GW, VAT, etc.</p>
