Do I have a solid shot or should I add more schools? Thank you to anyone who reads this!
no one will be able to figure out who you are, nor will anyone who can do anything with this info care enough to spend the effortI’d really rather not say for privacy reasons but it is in the Southeast and it only has 1 in-state school. Average stats for it are 21 DAT, 3.6 cgpa, and 3.5 sgpa.
I don’t have any out of state ties, so I came up with this list by searching for private schools in locations I would like to live, and narrowing it down to schools that I was within .1-.3 of their average gpa’s. I also looked to make sure I was within 1 point of their average DAT. Then I looked to see if they had taken any students from my state within the past 10 years, and I kept the schools that had, plus 1 or 2 that hadn’t. I think I did a pretty good job, but I just want to make sure I’m casting a good net while it’s still early in the cycle so I can add more schools if I need to.
