Test Scores- (only interested in sending ACT w/ writing) 29 but i am retaking it in a couple days so hopefully that number gets higher.
What are my chances to enter Boston University? I really would love to attend this school

Your unweighted GPA is a bit low but your weighted average shows the strong rigor of your high school schedule.

29 is competitive at BU

You have the URM hook

ECs appear okay - nothing spectacular, but you are applying at BU, not HYPSM.

Overall, I like your chances.

But…

Taking nothing for granted, you will do well to continue working hard and show your enthusiasm for BU – show them the love.

You have that hook as the other person said. Your schedule is competitive but your unweighted gpa needs to get higher. Although you have great selection of classes, the gpa might be overlooked because of that. Aim for a 30 on the ACT and you have a VERY high chance at BU!

You seem very involved in your school. You have a URM hook. Raise that GPA and ACT and you’ve got a good shot.

Do you go to Reagan?
