<p>Hi! I've been reading a lot of stats about BU and I really dont think I will get in do you think you could chance me? I applied early decision.</p>
<p>I live in Northern Virginia
I'm African American
I attend a large public school
Class Size: 675
GPA weighted: 3.62
ACT composite: 26 (very low I know but I don't have time to retake)
AP's including senior year AP's: AP Gov, AP Lit, AP Lang, AP Bio, AP US, AP Latin, AP World, AP Psychology, AP Macro and Microeconomics
Senior year class schedule: AP Gov, AP Lit, AP Macro/Micro Econ, AP Bio, Prob Stat and Discrete Math, Journalism 3, Journalism 4</p>
<p>I applied to the College of Communications. I didn't check off that I would like to be considered for CGS because I heard negative things about the program is that bad? Should I call the school asking to change it on my application because I've heard that people with low stats that dont get into their school of choice get placed in CGS and I think that I have very low stats so I am unsure of what to do!</p>
