<p>Thank you for taking the time to read my message!
I am currently a Junior in a Top 20 NJ high school. My GPA is a 3.8, though this year I intend to bring it up. Since freshman year, I’ve taken honors English, history, and math courses. This year I am in AP US History II and plan on receiving a 4 or 5 on my exam. I have taken the SAT only once and received an 1800, though this score will improve. I hope to pass the 2000 mark. I plan on applying to BU RD since they don’t have EA!</p>

I worked for an AIDS outreach organization for three weeks. During this time I went to a state penitentiary and visited with AIDS-stricken prisoners. Among various things, I was on the state radio talking about my experience and how to fight AIDS.</p>

<p>I think you’re pretty much set and there shouldn’t be any reason for u not to get into BU. Your GPA is higher than the middle 50% for BU and your SAT is average if not above for BU as well. I say study more for another SAT test and you should be overqualified. EC’s are great. Maybe apply to some better academic schools? BC?</p>

<p>Ok thanks! I’m looking at other schools like GW. BU isn’t a safety nor is it a target. Though I did like there communications school…</p>
