Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted at UDub, CU Boulder, Iowa, and UMass. Pretty sure I’m accepted at Oxy. Waiting on Kenyon and JHU.*

General Comments: BU was mid level*for me. However, I was really worried my math/science grades would bring me down. (I had a few Cs. They were weighted, but are obviously not good. I dropped AP Chem at semester junior year. BU is one of my top choices, tied with Oxy. JHU I’m planning on a rejection from, and Kenyon isn’t the best fit for me. Also, I got amazing financial aid so I’ll need to wait for Oxy’s packet to really decide. *</p>
