Hey guys, I applied to Boston University and I know it is a huge stretch but I really want to get in. Please chance me?
Unweighted GPA: 3.1
Weighted GPA: 6.08
ACT: 31
Really good essay. I talked about a certain professor at the University so I think that is good bc i showed interest
I have really strong recs
I’m in the IB program
I have a lot of extracurricular activities
So yeah, I know my unweighted GPA is really bad but I’m hoping they’ll take my other parts into consideration? What do ya’ll think?
I got into University of Miami and other Florida schools like USF, UCF, Nova, and FSU
How do you have such a big discrepancy between your weighted and unweighted GPAs? I feel like your high school probably uses a weird weighting system. BU will probably reweight your unweighted to their scale.
To be blunt, your chances with that 3.1 aren’t great. And there’s a danger of an essay that appears to just be trying to suck up and drop names. BU is definitely a reach.
As you are in the bottom quarter of the class in terms of GPA, not sure what boxes you check to help you gain admission.
I go to an IB school so every class we take is super weighted so all of our weighted GPAs are really high
What have you applied for?
Hey guys,
I’m an international student studying in a british school. What are my chances of getting into BU with these grades?
GCSE GPA: 3.4
A Level predicted grades: A A B ( so 3.7/3.8 gpa)
I sat my SAT (old) last year and was a big mistake not doing it again as I had a low score of 1550/2400
Thanks
@toplad123 you probably won’t be accepted with an SAT that low.
