2 week summer program at BU (summer challenge) last summer, from which I managed to get two additional recommendations, one from a professor and one from a grad student.</p>
<p>Random things to note about my school: AP classes are available only to juniors and seniors, and the amount of AP classes is really quite limited. The average for the highest-achieving students in my school is about three APs a year. I’ve had a few Bs throughout my high school career, mostly in the math and science areas. </p>
<p>My guidance counselor told me that my chances at BU are pretty good, but considering the cost of BU, I’m kind of wondering HOW good they are because I figure being in the higher end of the applicant pool = $$$.</p>
<p>Guidance told me BC would be a reach, but I’m wondering if it’s a near reach or a far reach.</p>
<p>Help would be appreciated. I’m somewhat new to this college confidential biz. :)</p>
