<p>I am really getting worried. I plan to apply ED unless otherwise suggested.</p>

<p>Honors/AP: English H (9), Global H (9), AP Physics B (11), AP Calc AB (12)</p>

<p>AP Exams: AP Physics B - 5
AP Calc AB - 5 (expected)</p>

<p>EC's:
-violin-3 years (10,11,12) - inspired by a T.A. who graduated from Columbia during my sophomore year.
-Math Team-3 years (10,11,12)-won a few first place trophies at local math competitions against a few other schools in the city.
-Internship at YMCA through my school (10) - completed 120 community service hours tutoring kindergarteners at a public elementary school.
-Member of NSHSS (10,11,12) - National Society Of High School Scholars....I don't think I should include this on my app. but what do you guys think?
-YMCA Tech Teens (10) - constructed a website (<a href="http://www.yteensnyc.org)...its%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.yteensnyc.org)...its&lt;/a> kinda stupid</p>

<p>Work Experience:
-SYEP (summer after my freshman year) -Summer Youth Employment Program - worked 25 hrs a week for 7 weeks tutoring 4th graders at a public elementary school.
-SYEP (summer after my Junior year) - Summer Youth Employment Program - worked 25 hrs a week for 7 weeks in a local hospital.</p>

<p>I don't know where this belongs but I took a College Course at Baruch College after my Junior Year. Will this help?</p>

<p>I know I didnt take a lot of honors classes in my school but I got really high grades on standardized tests. I also received a 70 in english during sophomore year. I also received a few B's in biology during freshman year. But everything else is all A-/A/A+. I hope this doesn't intefere with chances that much.</p>

<p>I will have a good essay and beyond excellent recommendation from my math team advisor.</p>

<p>Please tell me what you think my chances are are please give suggestions on what I can improve on. Thanks.</p>

<p>Why worry at BU? I'd suggest applying to Tufts with those stats :)</p>

<p>Becuase I love BU!...and Tufts is a bit too small for me....and I love the college town at BU.</p>

<p>I see. You'll probaby be offered the 1/4 tuition scholarship at the very least.</p>

"why are you applying to BU? Its a stupid school, for stupid people" </p>

<p>Man, harsh. But yeah, that would be a safety school for you. You have to keep in mind though that BU has no campus... so if you're into that sort of thing...</p>

<p>apply to bc, too</p>

<p>if you're being serious you are an idiot. BU is a great university that has quite an extensive list of notable alumni: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boston_University_people%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boston_University_people&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>that list happens to contain numerous nobel laureates, rhodes scholars, US senators, house members, the vice president of Microsoft, the vice president of IBM, the CEO of Motorola... i could keep going but according to you they are all stupid people.</p>

<p>it's remarks like this that make me angry at some CC'ers and makes me wonder why i continue to post here. just because a college isn't in the top 25 according to US News does not mean it is a stupid university.</p>

<p>Dude your in. I got in with a 1960 SAT, one AP class, no AP tests, and no foreign language. Applied for full ride scholarship (I thought, why not?), but didn't get it.</p>

<p>Youre in at BU, but you only took some honor classes in high school? How many?</p>
