<p>i think NYU and Northwestern are matches. </p>

<p>As for BC and Tufts you would need to get your CR scores up.</p>

4

<p>yeah, i’ll get that up to around 700 hopefully. </p>

<p>my sister goes to BC if that means anything too haha.</p>

<p>dang… tufts is my first choice… i went to an information sesh/campus tour to tufts and they said that if one plans to major in the math/sciences area, they’ll be a little more leniant towards the CR score… but yeah i’ll still get that up</p>

<p>thanks man!</p>

<p>You sound great!! I would say your chances are very strong. Of course, it can’t hurt to work on your SATs. But wow.</p>

6

<p>^ chances great for all of them? or just tufts ED? but thanks for the input!</p>

<p>of course you could improve your cr scores, but i feel you have an excellent chance at tufts. My sister goes and her g.p.a, course load, ec’s, and sats were all less impressive so i think you have a good chance.</p>

<p>thanks for the input! that really means a lot to me :smiley: question, did your sister ED? and do you know if i’ll have a better shot at getting in tufts if i do ED?</p>
