<p>,.............uh bump</p>

<p>It looks like you have some decent test scores but your GPA is too low.</p>

<p>NYU - reach
BU - slight match
Tufts - reach</p>

4

<p>NYU, Conn College and Tufts all are reaches. Others are matches or safeties.</p>

<p>You have so much going for you! Get that GPA up a little, and if possible, try to bump up those SAT/ACT scores. You're already a solid-to-strong candidate for the schools you mentioned, but statistical improvement never hurts. Your ECs and work/volunteer experience is very impressive, and your Hispanic heritage will be attractive in terms of "diversity" at any of those schools. Good luck to you!</p>
