Hey all… I’m a freshman student in a French public university eager (understatement) to get back to my beloved United States and its fabulous education system. I’m applying to Brandeis and Boston, but just in case they don’t work out, I’m thinking about Northeastern as a safety. Please take a second to look over my stats and give me your opinion. Thanks!
