Chances at BU?

<p>Stats:

  • Male
  • Suburb of Boston, MA
  • Senior
  • my high school sends some grads to top schools (depends on what you consider “some” and what you consider "top schools). My school has sent students to Boston College, Boston University, Oberlin, Occidental College, Cornell, Tufts, Swarthmore, Wellesley, Cornell, Brandeis, etc.
  • GPA: 93.5 unweighted / no weighted GPAs
  • class rank: 39/386 = 10.10 (this should get even better after first semester as I will have one more AP class this year)
  • SATs CR/M/W: 660/610/710 = 1980. Don’t have my scores from the second time taking them.
  • I haven’t taken the SAT IIs yet, will be taking them in Literature and French
  • Both of my recs are good. I will probably send in an additional from a voice teacher who went to BU.
  • My essay is not completed, but I think it should come out pretty well!</p>
