Excellent reputation, strong programs, and accepts a good number of B students? |

| Can you be more specific? What is the unweighted GPA? There's a difference between, say, 2.9 or 3.0, on the one hand, and 3.4 on the other. |

| OP-I think it also depends if it’s public vs private HS school. |

| Tulane ED, Northeastern ED, if private high schools. Chicago ED if feeder schools. |

Not if OP is talking about an actual 3.0. |

Depends on your HS.
At our private, it's Tulane, SMU - both if ED. |

3.0 GPA is looking at regional state universities.
3.5 maybe some of the privates in this thread, with ED. |
