Colleges Where Volunteer Work Matters

50 colleges in the CollegeCalcAI database rate volunteer work as important or very important in the "Selection of Students" section (C7) of their own Common Data Set. 7 are public and 43 are private; the median school on the list admits 48%, and the most selective are Columbia University (4%), Dartmouth College (5%), and Northeastern University (5%). Service is a weighed factor at these schools. Sustained commitment to one cause reads far better than scattered hours. The list is drawn only from schools with a published factor record; schools that do not report one are not assumed either way.

Which of the Colleges Where Volunteer Work Matters can I get into with a 3.7 GPA and a 1300 SAT?

By CollegeCalcAI's model, a student with a 3.7 unweighted GPA and a 1300 SAT has a Likely or Safety estimate (45% or higher) at 29 of the 50 colleges here, including Brandeis University, University of Tennessee and Furman University. 3 more are Target (25 to 44%), such as Hillsdale College and Villanova University. The other 18 are Reach. Estimates assume Regular Decision and no hook; courses, activities and essays move them.
