Chance Me / Match Me!

Hello!! I just wanted to share all my scores and activities to see if you think I’ll get into BU (applied to CGS) and/or GWU.

GPA: 89.57/100
ACT: 29 (super scored) 28 (not super scored)

I think it would be stupid to list all the classes I’ve taken since freshman year, so I’ll just post the challenging (honors, ap, etc…) from each year. Basically every year I have taken an english, social studies, science, and a math. 9th-10th I took french but I then dropped to take more science classes.

Freshman: none

  • got mostly high 80s low 90s

Sophomore: none
-mostly mid to high 90s

Junior: Chemistry Honors, AP Literature, Marine Biology, Anatomy and Physiology

  • all low and mid 90s

Senior: AP Biology, AP Macroeconomics, Honors Modern American Culture.
-anywhere from low 80s (in the APs) to high 90s (in everything else)
-I actually take CP physics also, so that two lab sciences

  • Modern American Culture is a double period class

I feel my grades and difficulty show a pretty strong upward trend. Though some grades went down, I started taking more challenging classes so that was to be expected.

Extra Curricular’s:

  • Officer of Invisible Children club (4 yrs, still doing now)
  • Member of Relay for Life (4 yrs, still doing now)
  • Worked as a waitress/ barista (2 yrs)
  • Member of a community service group that builds low income families houses in rural Appalachia (1yr, still doing now)
  • Works as a local gourmet food store about 15 per week (1yr, still doing now)
  • Head of social media and marketing for the food store (1yr, still doing now)
  • Member of Improv Club (1yr, still doing now)
  • I tutor a freshman in all her academics

A couple personal details:

  • my mom did not attend college
  • my mom is deceased (when I was 11)
  • I come from a single income household-- father currently unemployed
    -I come from a single parent household
  • my brother attends Syracuse University
  • my father attended Boston University

I applied early decision to NEU and was rejected. I have since been accepted to Elon University, SUNY Geneseo, and University of Vermont. I was rejected from University of Miami. I am still waiting to hear back from BU, GWU, and Binghamton. Hoping for the best!

Please let me know what you think! I should hear back soon! And please don’t be mean if you think I have no chance. Thank you :slight_smile:

Based on the decision from Northeastern, which has a similar acceptance rate to the schools you want to be chanced with, your chance to be accepted into any of them are not stellar. There’s still a silver lining; UoV is a Public Ivy with a beautiful campus. Congratulations on your acceptance and good luck!

Ok thanks!

Your GPA is fine, but your ACT was a bit low. I should think you might make it to BU, since BU admissions, as I have heard, are different from NEU. It depends on what college you are applying to in BU. I don’t know much about GWU.

I applied to CGS at BU. I did say that above!
