Ok this is just an overview of my profile and stats. It would be great if you could give me some feedback on schools like BU, NYU, Northeastern, Tufts (as a reach, if I get a higher ACT score), George Washington Univ, American Univ, UCLA and UCSD.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

I think you have a great shot at BU, American U and Northeastern! I’m not familiar with the other colleges so I don’t know what to say about those. I transferred from another country my junior year as well and had to take required courses so I understand the struggle haha
It’s definitely good that you’re retaking the ACTs though.
Good luck!

Contrary to what @spencer2020 says in his post your stats will put you in the bottom 25% of accepted students at BU and Northeaster. They are both reaches, especially Northeastern.

@TomSrOfBoston people at my school got in with her stats though… anyways, i still think its worth a shot!

It is worth a shot but it is still a reach, not a “great shot”.

I realize that my ACT scores are not that great but my GPA is above BU’s average.
Anyways, I just wanted an opinion considering my international background and the fact that I had to move here Junior year and all.
