<p>What do you guys think? Do I still have a chance?-</p>
<p>I think that your gpa and class rank, you should not sweat too much about getting into BU with a 1300 sat. I would think that BU can still be safely considered a match.</p>
<p>BU average SAT scores are like 1290 I think. Your right there in the middle. But one thing to consider is that BU acceptance rate has been lower for ED than if you were to apply RD</p>
<p>You may be in the middle for your SAT, but your other stats are well above average for BU. If BU is your dream school, I think that you will have that as an option.</p>
<p>S is applying ED to BU also. There has been some misinformation published about the ED acceptance rate. Princeton Review's 2004 "351 Best Colleges" shows 47%. Of 27,000 applicants, only 400 were ED. I think you'll be accepted, probably to the Honors College. S is hoping for merit scholarship. And hey, 1300 is damn good! 5 APs is nothing to sneeze at. BU wants to see a rigorous courseload. Have you visited the school?</p>
<p>BU is very good for many things. Notably communications and their business program is also well recognized. They have other schools such as Bentley, Northeastern and Babson for the competition. With competition comes the drive to beat out the competition. I think BU is rising fast and their new facilities will make them even more selective in the years to come!</p>
<p>I'm planning on double majoring in English and Biology...I hope to go to either law or medical school--or maybe a combination of both (like a lawyer for a hospital...) Does anybody know if Boston automatically considers students for the Honors College? or is there a special form? Any response would be greatly appreciated! </p>
<p>ps. I decided to do early action instead...I didn't want to be binded and have to make a decision in December.</p>
