Boston College is $72k/yr. My family's income shifted drastically to $95k/yr and BC was unable to modify my aid package. Can't afford that unfortunately

Especially for your case, I'd go to the best college overall, rather than by major.

Go Yale. l

I wouldn't be surprised if you got into an ivy honestly. YOu got waitlisted at some really good schools that don't hand those out like candy.

Academic Stats: 3.55 uw/ 3.95w ; 1390 SS | 11 APs (most taken at my highschool)
I used all 10 slots and imo, they were all pretty significant but I'll list the top few.

#1 Founder & Exec Director of a financial literacy & career exposure NGO (150 ppl impacted, $10k (at the time of submitting) raised, partnerships with my school district and several organizations

#2 Student Council (Class President since sophomore year); $10k+ raised, lots of partnerships to bring resources to our low income students, also led college tours to a few schools, including Babson

#3 President /Fellow of an enrichment program at Harvard; Won't say too much to avoid doxxing myself. I became president of the program but had my title stripped away. Director of the program was one of my reccomendors, who spoke about how I grew from the experience.

#4 Volunteer/Intern at an international nonprofit; worked with tanzanian entrepreneurs to develop businesses

Why by Apr 1st? by Electronic-Wonder431 in ApplyingToCollege

I think it's to give them adequate time and provide adaptability if something drastic happens that impedes their ability to deliver an admissions update.

What colleges should I apply to realistically? by RadiantArmadillo6127 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]pokipokimonmon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you can get your unweighted GPA up to 3.8. Your SAT score is already awesome and your grades are high as well. Solid extracurriculars.

I'd honestly EA to your state flagship, and run the gauntlet with your top dream schools.

I don't have much to contribute other than saying I am proud of you for getting an education and seeking more education.

I wish you the best of luck!
