Boston university chance?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Okay. So I looked at the stats already...so I kind of know where I lie....but.....still not sure.</p>

<p>So here are my stats:
current gpa: 89.6 (yea....i know. not so high..)
(took 6 AP's in high school)</p>

<p>and the thing that worries me the most....is my sat: around 1600? (took it one last time today..so who knows...)</p>

<p>my college essay is strong. I know that because my ap lit teacher, guidance counselor, as well as other eng. teachers read it. Their responses were all very positive.</p>

<p>i have 3 pretty good college recs. 2 from my AP teachers (got an A- in both), one from my guidance counselor, and one from a teacher who knows me pretty well.</p>

<p>Com. service hours: 260 (went to an orphanage in china over the summer, volunteered at a hospital playing/taking care of kids over the summer, and helping around school)</p>

<p>E.C's:
won regional art award (gold key)
won regional 8th and 12th for two events (out of 42 schools) for science Olympiad
been playing the piano for 12 years, 4 years at a music school.
piano teacher (intermediate level. taught pro-bono)
asian club V.P.
national honors society mem.
school freshman mentor.
worked (for money) at a restaurant, and a library.
(note that i participated in most of these activities for 2-4 years in high school).</p>

<p>so yea. any chance of getting into BU? :( freaking out a bit. Just want to know so i can finalize my college list.</p>

<p>BU: Reach (cross your fingers and hope for a 1900+)</p>

<p>:( really? it’s not even a low reach? aw that sucks… -_- so basically i have no chance? … wow. that’s so sad.</p>

<p>HEYHEYHEY No wait. Yes, your SAT does SUCK. (I’m saying it straightforwardly so you’ll get mad and take them again and get a 2000).
But I have a friend who had an average B+ GPA who got into BU and his only EC was swim team.
So bro, don’t get your hopes down. If you can, take the SATs, TRY THE ACTs!! Some people do waaayyy better on the other one.
Bro, you got it.
Good luck!</p>

<p>At 1900+ BU will no longer be a reach…</p>

<p>Honestly, your service hours are also low. Like if you cant get the SATs up then try working on other aspects and initiatives to build your holistic profile</p>

<p>Would any of you mind chancing me for BU too? Thanks in advance!:)</p>
