Chance me at Boston University?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm just going t copy and paste what I said in my Brown thread.
Grades:
Grades are my lowest point. I get mostly As and I've gottn a few Bs. I'm guessing my unweighted GPA is about a 3.9 from what I've heard. My weighted GPA is a 4.27, with freshman year being a 4.0, sohpmore year being a 4.2, and junior year 4.7. I am going to be right around that 10% mark as class rank.</p>

<p>Scores:
My ACT composite score is a 30. AP Psychology and history scores are 4s.</p>

<p>Courses:
I have taken a significant number of honors and AP classes, especially sophomore, junior, and will be taking them senior year.</p>

<p>Recommendations:
I am very confident that I will have very strong recommendation letters, as one of the teachers who is writing one says I am different from any student she has ever had.</p>

<p>Personality qualities:
I am very different from most students. I take a deep interest in politics (uncommon at my school) and am very liberal. I am huge on philosophy, specifically existentialism, music, poetry, and am overall diverse. I am very self discplined and will sit down to study for hours a day if needed, and show this self discipline in several other ways.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
This is my strongest point. For five years thus far, I organize my own charity event and have raised over $30,000 for homeless animals and have gotten thousands of different people involved in the run/walk I organize. I have been on television and in the newspaper several times, including NBC.
I am also involved in 11 different clubs, and have had one board position junior year, and will have 4-5 senior year. One of these is National Honors Society president. One of the clubs that I am involved in, forensics speech and debate, involves going to tournaments almost every weekend to perform, and I have gotten to finals at tournaments several times.
I used to run cross country and track, where i received varsity. I have been playing soccer for 12 years now, as well.
I am also volunteering by helping children in Costa Rica this summer.</p>

<p>Boston: match.</p>

<p>Boston University is definitely a safety school for you. I honestly think you have a pretty good chance at some top schools and possibly Ivies.</p>

<p>Brown: Reach
BU: Match</p>

<p>Your stats are good for BU. However, you need at least a 32+ to be competitive at many top universities like Brown. Extracurriculars are really great but so are so many other students’ these days. I would recommend taking the ACT again and try to shoot a little higher. You seem like the kind of person who can, with studying, improve upon most anything.</p>

<p>Low match/high safety (good chance of getting in). I have visited the campus and I think you’d like it there, especially since many students visit with other universities in Boston. I would really encourage you to apply :slight_smile: plus I think you can get merit aid. Don’t count on this as a complete safety though. Apply to other schools too.</p>
