Let me know what you think. I’m looking for schools in new england/ northeast. I’m looking into programs or majors in neuroscience/behavior and other stuff like that. I am also considering a premed or prelaw program but I don’t know for sure yet. Also if you think I should apply early decision anywhere that would be helpful.

Thanks!

You need to calculate your uwGPA yourself from the letter grades. A/A+ is 4, A- is 3.7, B+ is 3.3, B is 3, B- is 2.7, etc for each class and take the average of all grades you got. wGPA is meaningless outside of your school without details.

Bates, Colgate, Middlebury, Hamilton and Bowdoin would be suggestions for possible low reaches to extreme reaches for you. Connecticut College, Trinity (CT), St. Lawrence and Wheaton (MA) might be a few interesting matches for you to consider.
