My GPA is a 3.88 unscaled with honors and AP classes. I have a 2110 SAT (710 in CR, 730 in W, 670 in M)
I have solid EC’s (journalism manager, junior mentor, volunteer, etc)
I am a pretty good writer so my essays should be solid.
I want to stay in Boston. What are the best schools I can get into? (most likely)
Thanks!
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              May seem obvious, but I’d try Boston College, Boston University and Northeastern University.
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              I agree with @gdlt234. If you wanted to add a reach school you could try Tufts as well.
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              Babson College (in Wellesley) - business related disciplines
Boston College (in Chestnut Hill) - Roman Catholic
Boston University
Brandeis University (in Waltham)
Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering (in Needham)
Harvard University (in Cambridge)
MIT (in Cambridge)
Northeastern University
Tufts University (in Medford)
Wellesley College (in Wellesley) - elite women’s college
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              Of those schools, which would be matches and which would be reaches? And safeties? Thanks!!!
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              Reach: Harvard U., MIT, FWOCE, Tufts U., Wellesley College
Match: Boston College, Boston U., Brandeis U., Northeastern U.
Safety: Babson College
Match doesn’t mean definite admission… just means your stats put you in strong contention.
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              UMass Boston would be another safety, both academic and financial.
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              Thanks! Very helpful  Do you think I would get any merit money from any of the schools other than Babson?
