I think that you will get in forsure. You have a great amount of APs, above average ACT score (BUs average is a 29), and an above average GPA. You should have no problem getting accepted
bostondude23 is another high school senior applying to BU. no one is in “forsure”. BU is a match, not a safety.
@bostondude23 I thought the average ACT was a 31
i called the office of admissions in addition to going on an on campus tour, and both times they told me the average act for early decision candidates was a 29. I think it is a 31 for regular decision applicants
@bostondude23 did they say anything about gpa?
Either way, you guys would say that I have a fair chance of getting in?
I don’t see why you wouldn’t get in. Your ACT and class rigor are very good as well as ec’s. Your class rank could be better and I don’t know about your essays or recommendations but you look very strong academically. Looks like I have a very good shot of getting in with 5 AP’s and an equivalent to a 29 ACT so I think you have a good chance especially if you checked the CGS option
