<p>What do you guys think?
I'm looking for a school in a city setting with a good reputation in journalism, advertising, PR! any suggestions?</p>

2

<p>I think you’re in at BU. My brother’s GPA was pretty low, too, and he got in. Your EC’s are good enough to get you in, I think.</p>

3

<p>You chanced me and I was going to chance you back but I don’t know any journalism schools. I could google “good journalism schools”, but, I’m sure you’ve already done that. Sorry I can’t help you more but I think you’re in at boston university.</p>

4

<p>haha, yeah I did.
thanks anyways.
so any thoughts on my chances at BU?</p>

5

<p>considering my school sucks & we get around 20 BU acceptances every year, you’re in</p>

6

<p>You have a good chance. The SAT scores are a little low though, so try your best on the ACT! And remember, BU does look at the essay portion!</p>

<p>Your extracurriculars are great, so you’ll have a good chance.</p>

<p>Goodluck! :)</p>

7

<p>your SAT is not in their range, doing good on ACT and write a good essay then you will stand a good chance.</p>

8

<p>BU is a little bit of a reach because of your gpa and sat but your journalistic ECs are great and i think you definitely have a chance. like they said above, essay is key! im applying to BU too and we have very similar ECs :)</p>

<p>chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/817288-what-my-chances-these-schools-dont-want-list-all-title.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/817288-what-my-chances-these-schools-dont-want-list-all-title.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

9

<p>I’m also applying to BU, I think your chances are about average.</p>

10

<p>bump. bump. bump.</p>

11

<p>BU is a match/high match for you</p>

<p>When I read “I’m looking for a school in a city setting with a good reputation in journalism, advertising, PR! any suggestions?” I immediately thought of Northwestern because it’s world renowned for its journalism. However, NW would be a high reach with a 1670 SAT. I would suggest practicing a lot for your ACTs and if they’re at 30ish, you have a chance of getting in. Your weighted GPA and ECs are pretty good =)
As for BU, I think it’s a high match for you… because of the SAT.</p>

<p>Your best chance at BU is in the College of General Studies, mostly because of your SAT scores. Especially for the College of Communications, which is one of the tougher schools at BU to get into.</p>
