<p>Alright guys this isn't going to be pretty but i need to know. I'm going to apply at Boston University and Boston College. What are my chances?</p>
<p>Hispanic Male
Sophomore at Suffolk Community College
GPA is a 3.2
I got one F on my GPA</p>
<p>SAT Critical Reading 370
Math 450
Writing 410 </p>
<p>I was a mess until last year. In High Scool i was a B student.
Is there any chance that i can get in?
If not besides raising my grades, what else can i do?</p>
<p>Your SATs are too low for either school. Consider a public state college.</p>
<p>I don't know about BU, but BC has a transfer acceptance rate of under 10% and its very, very hard to transfer into. With a low GPA and low SAT scores, your prospects don't look high.</p>
<p>No Chance... sorry, usually i am optamistic about it but this time i can't give you a shot </p>
<p>I applied to BC last year </p>
<p>Holy Cross College</p>
<p>GPA : 3.89 - B in physics and an A- in Political, theory 34 total credits
ACT : 27
SAT : 1950 (low i know)
HS: B -> B+ ; lots of ec - recruited out of HS for rowing</p>
<p>recommendations from both teachers and a Cardinal. </p>
<p>had legacy: my dad and a great uncle was the coach of one of their national championship teams. </p>
<p>i got denied so... unless you really can write a compelling essay... your chances are dismal.</p>
<p>DNWRider: Unclear by what you mean by Holy Cross College. Are you suggesting it or do you go there?</p>
<p>Oh sorry that is where i went</p>
<p>Are you still there? Do you like it?</p>
<p>no i left.. too small, and a little bit pricey. Although ironic b/c i want to go to ND but still i have my personal reasons for leaving and preferring nd</p>
<p>Sorry to be harsh but unless the admissions offer is highly intoxicated, you won't get in to Boston College, Boston University could be pulled off with a brave little toaster type miracle.</p>
<p>What were your grades at HC? If high then you stand a great chance.</p>
<p>"GPA : 3.89 - B in physics and an A- in Political, theory 34 total credits
ACT : 27
SAT : 1950 (low i know)
HS: B -> B+ ; lots of ec - recruited out of HS for rowing
Had lots of other ec's. this is just a condensed list"</p>
<p>Thought i had a god shot but, as it says above... 10% acceptance rate. They were my backup to ND</p>
<p>Your SATs and GPA clearly indicate that your current school is challenging enough and that you simply will not be able to sustain the workload at BC or BU.</p>
<p>I got into Notre Dame and Holy Cross and picked Holy Cross because I did not want to go to school in South Bend. I liked being in the Boston metropolitan area.</p>
