Are these schools REALLY safeties like this website says? I really don't believe it.

I'm a current junior, with a LOW gpa (2.5) and an ACT of 31. I have good extracurriculars, with me being the current vice president and soon to be president of our Gay-Straight Alliance Club, Varsity Coxswain of the Rowing team (will be captain), selling art work, and volunteering at a food bank and a nursing home.

I'm looking mainly at James Madison Univeristy, George Mason University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Old Dominion University. I want to major in Nursing.

This site tells me these are all safety schools, but I really don't think that's the case. My GPA is quite honestly, garbage.
