I am a junior at a competitive, top 200 public high school in Massachusetts
I am wondering about my chances at BU
GPA: 3.7W, unsure about unweighted
ACT: 26 (planning on taking it 2 more times to get the score up, this was the first time I took it)
Sophomore year I had a 3.5 GPA due to moving (freshman year was around a 3.8 and my current GPA for my second semester of junior year is a 4.3, overall for Junior Year is 3.9)
Have taken all honors and 1 AP, taking 3 APs senior year
ECs:
-Varsity swimming
-NHS
-Service trips in Cambodia (housebuilding, etc)
-Planning on founding Global Community Volunteer Service Club
-Camp Counselor in the summer
-Tutor once a week
-Plan on lifeguarding
Something to set me apart, I was born in Boston but I lived in Singapore for most of my childhood and attended a private American school up through my freshman year of high school. Sophomore year of high school I repatriated (my essay will probably be about the impact of being a third culture kid had on my life.)
Getting a LOR from my math teacher (we get along well, he went to Harvard for grad school)
Major: Thinking about possibly majoring in biology/biochem (something to get me into medicine), also thinking about possibly psych
Minor: Chinese
