<p>I am only a junior in hs right now but im starting to look around.
So basically I have horrible test scores, ok GPA, extremely rigorous classes</p>
<p>I am an IB diploma candidate
all classes are taught HL (except math) but only testing HL in 3
HL History
HL English testing hl
HL German B language
SL Math<br>
HL Biology testing hl
HL Chemistry testing hl
and other requirements like TOK
UW GPA (school doesn’t weigh at all) as of now 3.69 (expecting to grad with no lower than 3.5)
My school has been ranked in the top 10 by Newsweek for the past few years</p>
<p>Here is the ugly part
I am a bad test taker
sat: 1550/2400
Act: 24 taking a class now and should improve to around 27 (hopefully)</p>
<p>I have 50 hospital hours so far and expecting to get at least 100.</p>
<p>I am in a couple clubs.
German honor society,Frisbee, and other non serious ones. </p>
<p>Other EC include physics Olympiad, German Trip, enrichment requirements for the school(such as human dissection) , and other small community service things. </p>
<p>Entry? Money? I definitely wont be able to afford full tuition.</p>
<p>Anybody else have any other opinions. Not that I don't admire boston's, just would like to have more opinions and advice to get into CAS. To be accepted with a some money, would my current stats (accept a higher act score) cut it. What kind of score should I shoot for to get this. </p>
<p>Go to this page and click on the red underlined link for "Probability of receiving University scholarships and need-based grants" and that may give you something to shoot for.</p>
<p>yeah I'm not sure on exact figures but you will most likely need a considerable improvement in test scores unless you're interested in CGS but even then you might need some help.. Just my opinion</p>
<p>Well I got my feb act score and I got a 28 . I bombed the reading and I know I can do better so I should be able to boost this up to a 29 or 30 very soon. I am not focusing on sat at all so I most likely wont send that in. Hopefully this will boost my chances.? If I have a chance, I'm still hoping I might be eligible for some financial aid despite my families somewhat high income compared to others. That chart gives me an outlying % of about 85%.. </p>

My parents are both from Poland...(I know BU is big on internationalism) so I'm a EU cit</p>
<p>Also, when BU visited my school, I filled out some card that they said shows them you already have interest.</p>
