Which school should I go to?

Hi, my sister had very similar stats as you did and majored in Psychology. She wanted to be in a metropolitan city and she ended up attending Boston University. She had a wonderful experience there and I hope you consider it. Good luck on your college admissions journey!

You have a good chance of being accepted through early decision at small liberal arts colleges because they usually don't receive applications from Tennessee residents. This gives you a slight advantage. Being an underrepresented minority would also help. Many of these colleges are also test-optional. Private institutions often have larger endowments that they use to provide need-based financial aid. Some are even need-blind, so look for those schools.

Bentley University and Emerson College come to mind. They are not cheap, though. Simmons University, a women's college, has an average net cost of about $27,000. If you prefer a larger, more diverse student body, consider the UMass Boston.

Remember to visit the campus, connect with the admissions staff, and meet with alumni to demonstrate your interest. Good luck!

Hi, I used to live in Massachusetts and also looked at colleges and universities over there. Yes schools their are quite expensive but they are good with much history. So looking at your stats there are schools there with a possibility of you entering but it also depends on what programs are you wanting to go into, what are you majoring or will minor in, if you took any classes that correspond with what you wish to major in(i know its a law school but still), what degrees are you looking at and if your dual enrollment classes have any prerequisites for the degree you wish to pursue (because many colleges and universities also look at if your a first time college student or not and many would prefer if you went to college before).

Sorry but Boston isn't the place to look for college if you don't want to pay alot for education. If I were you I would ask myself what draws me to Boston and see if I can find another place with those characteristics. Its not that you can't find a college in Boston, Its that you should decide what you want to major in before you decide your college.
