Chance Me - BC, BU, Tufts, NYU, and more!

Hey, thank you for replying!

My school’s formula for weighted GPAs is 1.0 Honors // 1.25 Honors A // 1.5 AP
I would like to note that my GPA has had a major upward trend, being pulled down by my freshman year grades as I was dealing with undiagnosed medical issues resulting in several hospitalizations (my guidance counselor will highlight this in her LOR)

I did take the SAT once (never took PSAT or ACT) but did not perform well on it, meaning it does not match my GPA at all.

I am comfortable with the amount of schools I am applying to as I have an application pending through my school for a fee waiver (will most likely be eligible)

I wanted to have a range of schools as I am not sure what I want to major in and I would like to have options.

My financial situation is very complicated (as is my familial situation) so I have yet to do a net price calculator for any school, but I am hoping to receive need-based aid.

Do you think I have a shot at competitive LACs like Colby, Wesleyan, etc?
Do you think ED at BC is a good idea or do I have a good enough shot if I just do RD?
