<p>should i apply to SMG (business school) or just apply striaght to CGS?</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

2

<p>ur act is pretty low, i would take it again or try the sats</p>

<p>and if u know u wanna go to smg then dont apply for cgs...theres tons of forums about this</p>

3

<p>if i apply to SMG and they dont think i am a fit, do you think i am a match for CGS?</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

4

<p>bump 10 char</p>

5

<p>SAT at he lower end of their middle 50%; GPA a tad above their avg. Coming from Washington state'll help. I give you a 60% chance of acceptance. Good luck.</p>

6

<p>i looked at the incoming class to the CGS... and it is a 3.2 25act.</p>

<p>so i am right at the the act and well above the gpa.</p>

<p>..........but i dunno about me and SMG though i really really want it!</p>

7

<p>think i am a good fit for CGS? and any shot at SMG, anyone heard of someone with my stats getting in to SMG?</p>

8

<p>Hockey players. Seriously though, I think you're better suited for CGS.</p>

9

<p>yeah thats how i feel too.... but i shoot still apply to SMG right?</p>

10

<p>actually would it matter if i just applied to CGS? would they still look at me the same? would there be any benefit or no?</p>

11

<p>Same way as what?</p>

12

<p>so i guess my question is...</p>

<p>if you apply for SMG rather than CGS do you have the same shot at CGS as someone who applied striaight to CGS?</p>

13

<p>Yeah, it wont make a difference.</p>

14

<p>has anyone honestly ever heard of someone getting into SMG with my profile/stats w/o any URM or hook type? I am thinking i am just going to apply to CGS and if i get in and decide to go, i will try super hard and transfer into SMG...</p>

<p>sound good?</p>

15

<p>Can't say I personally know anyone. I have friends in CGS who had 1900s and such.</p>

16

<p>bo5ton... did you apply straight to CGS?</p>

17

<p>Yeah, I applied EDI</p>

18

<p>If youi applied ED you have a fightin chance. They can be erratic at BU. I have seen profiles of kids getting into Cornell and NYU but not BU. In general i give you 50-60% and thats not bad! They like people who like them so the ED will help</p>

19

<p>well i am not applying ED... so i will just pray. lol....</p>

<p>but it seems to me that there are far more people in CGS with lower stats than me... well at least GPA wise...</p>
