I can chance you for BC, Cornell, and Tufts. I think your unweighted GPA is a bit low. Try to raise it a bit to 3.7 or 3.8. Your ACT score is also low for all three of the schools. I suggest raising it to at least 33 for BC and Tufts, and 34 for Cornell. I would consider retaking Bio to get it at 720+. Listen, I’m in FBLA, and you could not fool me with the states thing being an honors. Everyone automatically qualifies to compete in states so that is not an honor nor an award. Do you have any real awards in FBLA? What is 3rd in Stock Market Club as a Junior mean? That sounds sort of dumb, like you were only the third best in a school club with like 10-15 people in it. Don’t mention it. Your EC’s are solid, however, and will present you with a nice opportunity to expand on your passion in mathematics/economics, and I’m happy to say that at least all of your extracurriculars are related to an intended field, which shows passion, and the leadership looks solid as well. The volunteering for the most part looks good (hospital seems a bit weird, but okay I guess). I would say that BC is a low reach, Cornell is a reach/high reach, and Tufts is a reach. Please chance me back! http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1796275-what-do-you-think-of-my-chances-are-at-these-universities.html#latest Good luck!
