<p>I do debate/forensics in the KC area too! You have good ECs and GPA. Ideally your ACT would be more in the 30+ range, but you might be better at the SAT. Good luck, I know some people from debate that got into BU with similar stats.</p>

<p>Thank you!!!</p>

<p>Shoot for higher SAT/ACT scores and you’re in…</p>

7

<p>If you can raise your ACT/SAT you’re set, but even if you don’t you still have a chance! Standardized tests DON’T mean everything! Good luck!</p>

<p>Your ACT composite score is wrong if you got what you wrote</p>

9

<p>Oh sorry I should have made that clear. Those are just my best scores for the sections. I wish that’s what I had. Hopefully I’ll get it the last time I take the ACT in September.</p>

<p>as stated, score ~1950+ for sat’s and you’re golden.</p>

<p>Your EC’s are good, but I don’t know enough about BBYO to say anything. Class rank looks good, I would say you are a high match for BU, especially with you strong Debate EC. As always, however, a high SAT and ACT score would do a lot to help your application.</p>

<p>Hope that helped, chance me back please :)</p>

14

<p>thanks! I’ll chance ya. And BBYO is an international Jewish youth organization that aims to help young jews acquire leadership skills and be involved in community service.</p>

15

<p>Ah I see. How well known is it? If it’s as well known (or almost as well known) as, say, CSF/NHS, I think you’ll do really well.</p>

16

<p>I’d say it is fairly well known. Especially in the Jewish community. So hopefully it’ll help my chances.</p>

17

<p>If you get above 2000 on your SAT you will be solid for both schools!!! You have a bunch of EC’s which is awesome and you class rank is swell too. Just make sure you have a solid SAT score and if you want, take the act again. Good luck on teh whole application process!!! :] :] :] </p>

<p>Chance me back? Appreciate it! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1196513-chances-will-chance-back-promise.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1196513-chances-will-chance-back-promise.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

18

<p>I definitely will. But do you all think I still have a decent chance even if I were not able to raise my ACT or get a better SAT?</p>

19

<p>It all depends, even though those are low scores you have a good class rank, so it seems like a weak region (no offense intended). I know most schools have ‘quotas’ for each region, if you’re in the top of your region you should do well. I think that it will be easy for you to raise SAT though, considering your grades.</p>
