I know there are a million of these and I have read every one of them but I just like to hear input from people.
I have a 1950 SAT and a 3.9 GPA on a 4 scale (3rd in my class). I have taken almost all of the hardest classes at my high school and have Soccer, Track, Bass Guitar, Making a PC Game and Skiing on my ECs. I will be applying Early Decision to the College of Arts and Sciences.
Knowing nothing else, I’d say you have a good shot at getting in. Your SAT is within range, and BU really likes course rigor and high class rank. If you can write a really compelling/personal essay that makes you stand out, I could see you getting in.
I go to BU currently and that was pretty much my resume. I also had a really personal essay though, so try and do that and I think you will have a pretty good shot (although they are getting slightly more competitive, just so you know. Not by much, just slightly).
sounds like you school has grade inflation. the top 10-15 kids in my school have either a 35 ACT or 2300+ SAT. having said that you did well in the contest of your school, i think you have a good shot.
