<p>Chances for... TUFTS ED, Wesleyan, U Michigan, Boston College, Brandeis, BU, Northeastern, Harvard (lol?)</p>

<p>Bumpppp I’ll chance back</p>

<p>I don’t really understand your GPA system (Colleges however will use 4.0 scale) so I can’t really judge there, but upward trends are always good. Your extracurriculars seem fantastic specially for ED since their actually related. SAT/ Subject test scores are fine so all in all I think you have a good chance of making it.</p>

<p>Chance me back! =D</p>
