I’m a current junior (class of 2018) looking for some help broadening my search for schools to apply to, particularly target/safety schools
GPA: 4.0 unweighted, 4.86 weighted
SAT: 1550/1600, 23/24 writing
Including this year, I have taken 10 APs (on track to take 14+ by graduation)
HS (small public school) is #8 in the nation
Extracurriculars: involved in theatre/choir, NHS, private tutor, part-time job, volunteer at animal shelter
I’m interested in STEM at a small to medium sized school. It’s important to me that the environment at the school is supportive and not overly competitive (I’ve gotten enough of that in HS) and diverse. So far, the school that’s stood out to me the most in terms of student environment is Tufts
