You can compare your academics to the class profiles listed on the Gettysburg College website. They appear well within the normal acceptance window.

What few entering freshmen (and their parents!) fail to realize is there are few if any “scholarships” at top tier colleges. Financial need is literally the sole criteria for aid. It’s a brutal fact that if your parent’s income is high enough that they can pay your tuition, top tier colleges will expect them to pay full price. If there’s need, however, there is financial aid available.

It’s all about FAFSA.
