Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University

I have applied for BU, and I really want to go there. However, I don’t think I’m “good enough” to get admitted. Please chance me!
I applied (for my major) as early childhood education
Stats:
GPA weighted: 4.0
GPA unweighted: 3.9
ACT: 25 (I know this is below BU’s standards)
Throughout high school I have taken three APs, and 5 honors class
I did take Honors Calc. I know Calc is important for BU
ECs:
Captain of the debate team
Volunteered for four years with children with special needs
Marching Band for three years
Organized March for our Lives events in NJ/road to change tour
Secretary of my school’s Jewish club
Helped start my school’s LGBTQ+ club
Essays and Recs:
My essay was extremely different about my life experience of being a religious Jew, in a public school world.
My high school is one of the most competitive and in the top 100 of this country
I have great recommendations coming from an Anatomy teacher and my debate coach/APUSH teacher.

Overall I know the main thing hurting me is my ACT score and not taking a ton of AP classes. Just hoping everything else can help me out!
Thank you so much:)

I also forgot to add that I am a member of my school’s National Honor Society.

Did you chose the CGS option? You would have a chance for that.

I put CGS as one of my choices but I really don’t want to go through that program. I rather go through with my main major which is education.

ur stats are similar to mine only you have done a lot more than me in terms of extracurriculars lol, I think you have a good chance but thats just my opinion considering we have similar stats. also, it depends on what school u applied to and stuff.

I have almost all the same stats, I have a 26 ACT and I’m equally worried, but you got this!
