Hey Guys,

School/Class Type: Public/Mostly Competitive
SAT: 1800 (620 M, 580 CR, 600 W)
ACT: 31
SAT II’s: 650 (Math Level 2), 620 (US History)

Possible Hooks: First Generation College Student
I am planning to major in either history or political thought/social thought. Another question I had was do out of state admittances mostly come from the south (texas, louisiana, georgia etc) or eastern united states (delaware, maryland, pennsylvania)?
Thanks

2009 Entering Freshman Class:
21,839 applications
6,775 offers of admission
3,308 students enrolling
88.5 percent of enrolling students ranked in top tenth of class
1250-1430 middle half of class SAT I
So, it looks like 15% of those that apply actually get to enroll and your 1200 SAT is a little below middle of the pack (they don’t count the writing score in their advertised SAT scores).
Also, if I remember correctly, only about a third of the enrollment spots are available for out of state students.
