Fairfield University Book Award (given to a student in top 10% of class who demonstrates leadership and commitment to the community)

I think my recommendations were good! One was from my journalism teacher, who I know really well, and the other was from my AP Bio teacher whom I absolutely loved. My counselor knows me pretty well, so I think that was good as well

I also think my essays were good, although that is hard to be objective about. I am especially proud of my honors college essay.

Thank you so much! I would really really like to get into BU so let me know if it’s possible please!!!
I also clicked yes on the common app when it said would you like to be considered for the college of general studies

Thanks!!!

Your credentials look very strong, but think BC is a reach–if you are don’t require financial aid, that should help significantly, but just be prepared to be put on their Wait List

BC is desperately trying to increase their yield, and last year put over 4700 students on their Wait List to keep their student declines low-- ultimately they offered just 210 students a seat—that is 10% of their freshman class–that suggests finance are important to them-- Best of Luck!

You’re a solid match for BU, generally, and I’d say strong for COM. Wouldn’t be surprised if you get in.

@booksmart27, the OP is applying to Boston University, not BC

So sorry I got the schools mixed up! You are surely in - Good Luck!
