Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out if High Point University would be a good fit for me. Can anyone tell me what their acceptance rate is, and if it's considered a reach, target, or safety school?
High Point University has an acceptance rate of around 70%, which indicates that it is generally not very selective. However, whether the school would be a reach, target, or safety for you depends on your individual achievements and academic profile.
To determine if High Point University is a reach, target, or safety school for you, compare your high school GPA and standardized test scores (if you have them) with the middle 50% of admitted students. At High Point, the middle 50% of accepted students typically have GPAs between 3.3 and 3.6, and SAT scores from 1100 to 1290. If your GPA and test scores fall within these ranges, High Point would be considered a target school for you. If your stats are above these ranges, it could be a safety, and if they're below, it might be seen as a reach.
Don't forget that each application is evaluated holistically, considering factors such as your personal statement, extracurricular involvement, and recommendation letters. Therefore, it is always a good idea to apply to a range of schools, including reach, target, and safety schools to maximize your chances of finding the best fit for you.
