<p>Yes! Thanks for helping me out. I am from California and I live in Vermont which is why my focus is on the west and east coast. I have gotten all A’s since freshman year. My SAT was 1920 but I will take it again. I take the hardest courses and fill up my schedule. I am around the top 10% maybe not by grade (because of those kids who take easy classes) but by overall strength. I have done some extracurricular activities but I am really making a push this year to do more. Some of my schools are definitely reach schools but I think I have a chance. And I think that Northeastern and BU are safety schools (tell me if you don’t think so).</p>
<p>My parents tell me that I shouldn’t worry about cost if I really want to go to a certain college. And if I couldn’t afford $50,000 a year, wouldn’t I get more financial aid so I would only pay what I could afford? Doesn’t it balance out so even the most hardshipped people can go to expensive schools?</p>
<p>Thanks so much for your help!</p>
