<p>I know chances can’t be predicted but why would BU CGS reject me ED when they know they can bind me towards payment for the program? Please let me know if I have a 50/50 chance or less or if I have a 90% or more chance of getting in. Thanks!</p>

<p>Let me know! Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Please someone let me know</p>

<p>Please someone!</p>

<p>There is a calculated 73.4% chance that you will be accepted.</p>

<p>80% in. APs help, recs and essay will make or break you. :)</p>

<p>Alright but would you guys say I should really consider the program before applying? Because if I do get into CGS there will be no way out for me.</p>

<p>Is there anyone on here that attended CGS that I can talk to?</p>

<p>CGS is just 2 years of general education studies and then you transfer into one of BU’s regular schools. Depending on what you’re planning on majoring in though, you may have to put in a summer or two of work (for SMG for example).</p>
