<p>Well I know for BU, there number 1 “most important” criteria is the rigor of you school record. As long as you took the hardest classes your school has to offer I think you have a great shot at acceptance. Your ACT and GPA are at par with their standards, and your EC’s and leadership roles are excellent. Hopefully your essay will be good so that can boost up your chances. The fact that you did the tour means you have shown an interest in the school which is good and helps a little. Overall you have a great shot at acceptance. I find it funny that we’re applying to alot of the same schools =P. Good Luck with BU and the rest of your schools. Hope you get in!</p>
