<p>okay, so right now, Tufts University and Bates College are my first choices. i know that these are selective schools, and I'm not sure if they're a reach for me or now</p>

Location: New York
rank: 8</p>

<p>II. GPA:
4.2 unweighted</p>

<p>III. Test Scores

<p>Your resume looks shockingly similar to mine. 3.3 gpa, similar SAT, didn’t go to high school my senior year (I took college classes exclusively instead of going abroad). I’ll be applying to Tufts and Bates as well.</p>

<p>I hope my hooks are enough to belittle my junior year gpa (if it’s possible). Good luck to us both.</p>

<p>i hope so too!
i mean, i never struggled in school, i don’t even think i have a B on my transcript, and junior year i took the most APs that i was allowed to take. i really hope it’s enough to get me in! and the whole study abroad thing is so different han what most students have</p>

<p>What’s your class size? For all we know, your class could be like… 10 people. I also need to know which GPA scale you’re using or its 4.0 scale conversion. I’m not familiar with Bates, though. If I remember correctly, it doesn’t require standardized testing, right?</p>

<p>R3d3pmti0n: my class size is 158, and i believe it’s 4.2/5 unweighted
bates doesn’t require standardized testing, but i believe i am going to submit my scores anyway</p>
