I’m currently a freshman at a 40-60 ranked flagship state university and while I’m doing well where I am, it isn’t the right fit for me. I applied to schools like northeastern but my high school counselor recommended that I only apply to state school so my parents made me withdraw my applications. I regret doing so and I know that I would be doing better in all aspects, socially and academically, if I went to another school.

Stats:

SAT: 1450 (won’t submit unless required)

HS GPA: 3.7; weighted 4.5

College Courseload:

1st semester - 19.5 credits, (Calc, Stats, Chem 1, Psychology, College Writing, Seminars)

2nd semester - tbd (15-18)

AP Credits: 10 (AP Bio)

ECs: lots of employment and at least 250 hours of volunteering

Major: Biology Pre-Med

Schools I’m considering: Northeastern, Tufts, Boston University (please suggest more! I want to go to school in the NYC to Boston area)

In terms of money I don’t have an exact range but my plan is to go to my in-state medical school reducing costs for that in the future anyway, meaning I’m willing to spend more now. I’m not happy at my current school and when corona blows over I won’t be allowed to live at my current school unless I transfer.

Thanks for your help guys.
