Hi, I am currently a junior in high school and I would like to have opinions on my chances for getting into Tufts and Northeastern.
I have a 4.0 unweighted and and 4.5 weighted GPA.
I have/will complete the following AP classes
Statistics
Chemistry
Calc AB
Calc BC
Computer Science
Environmental Science
Both Physics
Macroeconomics
US Government
The clubs I do are
World Affairs (the only thing we do is go to Model UN/Congress)
Girl Up
Scholars Bowl
Math League
Computer Club
ESCAPE (engineering club)
I also compete in an underwater robotics competition (SeaPerch) with my school.
My SAT scores are
Math-760
CR-610
Writing-640
Total-2010
I will take them again and try to get them up.
I do competitive climbing and I go to national competitions.
I am also a minority and in college I would like to major in engineering (I am a girl).
Thanks!
Also if you have any college recommendations for me that would be great
I think that Northeastern is a match and Tufts is a low reach. For college suggestions, I’m not entirely sure size or location that you’re looking for, but I would look into Brandeis and BC, both in the Boston area. Safeties could be Skidmore and Storybook, both in NY. Also look into Fordham, NYU, BU, and Duke. Good luck!
Take a look at my thread if you could please http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1743297-ecs-will-chance-back.html#latest
Completely agree with the previous poster. Tufts is a low reach and Northeastern is a high match. If you got your SATs up a little more I might even suggest testing the waters for MIT, although I wouldn’t put much hope behind it. It’s one of the, if not the best engineering school in the country and appears to be right in where the rest of your choices are. Carnegie Mellon isn’t in Boston, but it’s another excellent engineering school. I would call CMU a Reach at the moment, but it would be much easier with an SAT bump. A 2200ish should get you much more competitive at those two schools but there are plenty more excellent schools in the area with prominent engineering programs that don’t require such a drastic improvement. Good Luck!
Take a look at my thread too if you get the chance!
