am I hopeless for BC or BU...?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I've always dreamed of going to a school in or around Boston (Yes I am aware that BC is technically in a suburb) but I've had some rough times at home and my GPA really showed it. Two C's (junior and soph honors math classes) and unfortunately a high D for the year in my junior honors physics class. However, even with these subpar grades, my GPA without health or gym added in for extra grade padding is still an 86 without any weighting, and I take the strongest level of course rigor in my school (all Honors, with a decent amount of APs)</p>

<p>I have decent EC's NHS member, boys state delegate, 8 varsity letters in athletics, mock trial lead attorney, and UNICEF club VP. I'm really involved in athletics and that kind of inhibited me from taking on any other diverse ec's (lots of time dedicated to practice and training).</p>

<p>I'm a middle class white male from a public high school in New Jersey, pretty close to Philadelphia.</p>

<p>My SATs are decent and I guess I could retake them for super score this fall? 2090 composite 670 Math 690 CR 730 Writing (all one sitting score).</p>

<p>Basically what I am asking is if BC, BU, or even Northeastern are too far out of reach for me because of my lackluster grades in math and physics? (I DO NOT plan to do anything with those subjects in college if that matters at all)</p>

<p>Be honest CC I know I'm a slacker</p>

<p>BC you’re pretty much out. Northeastern is about 70% acceptance. BU is bit of a reach so like 50/50. These answers are just based on my experiences don’t let my responses stop you from applying to anything .</p>

<p>I too have always dreamed of going to college in Boston. Unlike you, I have great grades but by BC’s standards, I have awful test scores. At least you have your test score going for you at BU and NE! I’d say try at BC anyway. You never know.</p>

<p>Northeastern is harder than BU lower acceptance rate and higher sat scores</p>
