@privatebanker Also what do you mean by don’t include Boston U in any of the safeties or matches? I definitely understand that BU is a very selective school and I never wanted to include it in my list of safeties, but I believe I did well on my previous ACT and I should be at or above their middle 50% range. My GPA is also a 4.0 UW (105.12 on my school’s scale) so I match up with their class. Do you believe I shouldn’t apply to the reaches I’ve listed? I definitely don’t expect to get in MOST of these schools, but that is why I wanted to apply to so many - so I’d have a good chance of getting in at least 1 (Penn is my first choice because my dad works in a place affiliated with Penn and so I get free tuition there).
