You have a shot at any school.

-UW GPA?
-Budget?
-Size preferences?

My school, unfortunately, does not let us see our unweighted GPA, so I have no idea.
Honestly, I don’t really care about school size, but if anything, not too big
Also, $50,000 is my budget, and obviously, it would be nice to get some money from the college.

To clarify, $50K per year?

Are you eligible for any FA, or are you looking for some merit aid to defray the cost?

Geographic preference?

Course of study(ies) of interest?

Small, medium or large class sizes?

Have you run the College Match embedded in CC? That would be a great place to start.

Good luck!

Oh yes, $50,000 per year, and, honestly, I’m probably not eligible for FA.
I don’t really want to go anywhere north of MA, or south of NC. (MA, CT, NY, PA, DC, MA, NC, RI, NJ are mostly where I want to stay).
I am really into Biology, Psychology and Neurology (Anything science related)
Small or medium class sizes are preferable.

Do you think I could get into Tufts?

8

The cost of attendance at Tufts is ~$64K annually. Is this something you have considered?

9

Ya :frowning: but I would just like to know if I could get in

10

Tufts accepts over 2400 students annually with ACT/SAT scores lower than yours. It’s logical to think that you could get in if the rest of your application roughly comports with your visible achievements.
