I feel like I am selling myself short

<p>Thanks guys for all the feedback! So much appreciated. I have talked it over with my family and they agree that if I am excited about attending NYU, then I should attend if offered acceptance and a financial package that is affordable. They don’t want me feeling stressed about being urged to go somewhere in which I know very minimal about. We also both agree that being in an unexpected, forced environment may not be good for allowing my mind to adapt and actually enjoy college. Also, I would be more than happy to go to my state school if things don’t work out with the financial package. </p>

<p>Also @amtc, I understand that I might be unhappy at Boston College but why Northeastern? I haven’t really did much research on Northeastern other than finding out that they give a reasonable amount of merit scholarship and that their average ACT/SAT equivalent score is around a 31-32. </p>
