<p>^^^ Not by that much. But yeah, he'll get into BU. They love diversity, so theyll gladly take a black guy with good numbers.</p>
<p>im just curious about his gpa
why
3.3???
im not quite sure why everyone says match for everywhere (with urm)</p>
<p>i am not sure if its weighted gpa or not guys, thanks for everything so far. also, i agree with jpod, my college councilor puts nyu and bu at the same level: match</p>
<p>i think my hook is my violin playing... i am actually pretty good made regional orchestra both times i auditioned.. and im working on a piece i may send as a supplement.. how many black guys do you know play a violin? haha</p>
<p>i am not positive if my school weighs AP grades yet, i will get back to this thread on that issue</p>
<p>but based on the information available, please continue giving your opinions!!!
thanks to everyone so far!</p>

</p>
<p>Haha, you shouldn't use other people of your race as benchmarks for success.</p>
<p>yeah true.. one of my friends said that colleges may ask race-wise but i didnt believe him at first - but you can never have too much information...
however, i am probably also in the top 20% with a 2000+ score</p>

<p>Haha. I was gonna say--How many black people can say they play the violin :P</p>
<p>You need not worry.</p>
<p>I'm seeing an awful lot of inconsistency here with his stats and colleges compared to the other threads here. Just how much does being african american help?</p>
<p>my councilor tells me that its not solely being african american that gives me an advantage... its the fact that i am an african american male with a distinct trait that seperates me from everyone else in my demagogue</p>
<p>sweet! i havnt met any blacks that want to do theoretical sciences...or anyone else?</p>
<p>i was actually talking about the violin, but whatever works... anybody else want to help?</p>
<p>0.00...? How does that work? In NC, that would mean all Fs, and it would also be 0.00 weighted. Just curious.</p>
<p>Also, have you looked at UNC at all?</p>
<p>i have, and im scared of it haha.</p>
<p>also, my school hasnt given me my unweighted gpa... my grade trend has been most Bs with the occasional A.. averages to around a B+.</p>
<p>btw i have a friend that graduated a year before me, he attends BU now on full scholarship.
what were the stats?</p>
<p>3.01
1130 SAT
he is gettin straight As</p>
<p>moral of the story?: thank god for great essays</p>
<p>That's sick. You should def. come to BU then :D</p>
<p>whoa.. i feel a bit better about my gpa now =)</p>
<p>haha i am definetely considering it. i hope it becomes a tossup between BU UVA and Northwestern but i know i will never get that lucky lol</p>

<p>I believe when you wrote "demagogue", you meant "demographic." A demagogue is an orator who appeals to the passions and prejudices of his audience. Like, say, Hitler. :-) just fyi.</p>
