I’m not actually sure what my true unweighted GPA because our school doesn’t report that but I have gotten all As and one A- in three years of high school so far

3

I think you have a good chance

4

I’d say bentley is a low match, northeastern is a match, and bc is a match, low reach mainly a match but they can be stingy about the smallest things, also for BC the the major/college you apply to makes a difference.

5

I would probably be applying to Carroll which I’ve heard is pretty tough to get into @raulhumber2

6

Yupp it is, they are just picky, it would still be a match/lowreach, just BC can be super picky about thing mainly because of their prestige that they like to carry, Northeastern and Bu are ranked around 7-9 spots in difference in the U.S ranks so I still consider you a strong applicant also remember the cost of admissions, northeasterns offers lots of merit scholarships unlike BC, apply to all, likely youll get in and then my recommendation is to follow the money, all 3 programs are great.

7

@raulhumber2 Yes, BC is definitely a reach school for me. It would be great to attend, but I don’t feel I would get much merit aid which is a big factor.

8

BC offers about 15 full tuition merit scholarships. everything else is need based.

9

Bentley is s high match I got in with a half tuition scholarship with almost identical stats (yours might be a tad better). Not attending however.

Mass DECA here too! Competed in RFSM at ICDC! Colleges love that, I think you are in everywhere except Yale, may be a reach. Best of luck, chance me back?
