Chances at BU

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University
1

Hello I am a student in high school wondering my chances at getting into Boston University! (I know there’s not fine line for in/out but just a general idea would be awesome)

My intended (double) major is International Relations and French

I am male, white, and homosexual
I’m Catholic (probably not important but oh well)
My GPA is 3.7
My SAT score is 1950
My class rank in 9th out of 54
I have 100+ hours of community service

I am in AP Biology and AP Language and Composition, and I have taken AP US History and got a 4 on the exam
I’ve taken the SAT Subject Test for French with listening and US History

I have taken Honors English all four years of high school (excluding senior year because of AP Language), all honors math, the highest science courses my school offers (my school does not offer honors science) and an Intro to International Relations course at my local community college.

For extracurriculars, here is a list:
-Student Government, Class President
-Boy Scouts, Eagle Scout
-French Club, President
-Drama Program, Student Director
-Marching Band
-Interact Club
-Student Council

I know its a lot but I would appreciate feedback SO MUCH, thanks!

Your application is pretty solid and I would say you would get in, but admissions are more than just statistics. Make sure you show great interest in BU when you are writing your supplemental essay. Also, have a solid common app essay, of course. You have excellent extracurriculars and seem to be really involved inside and outside of school. I think the only thing you should work on is getting a higher SAT or ACT score, but other than that, your application would be a great contender!
