Hello,
BU is one of my favorite schools within reason, and I am borderline on whether to apply ED or not. Do you think I have a shot?
4.1/4.0 weighted GPA (mostly A’s with a few B’s and even a 79 in there)
1420/1600 SAT
Good activities, though nothing exceptional, consistent in weekly volunteer service, and high level awards from competitions such as DECA
Full courseload of AP classes junior and senior year (5’s on all of my junior year tests)
I will have good teacher recs too, and a great essay.
I also attended a summer program at BU, and will be attaching letters of recommendation from professors at BU to my application.
Major: Econ in College of Arts & Sciences
Do you think I stand a chance without ED? I think BU will appreciate my expressed interest as well as reccomendations from BU professors, and my scores and essay are good for their standards, but my grades are what has worried me.
Also applying to Northeastern, Fordham, American, Tulane, Maryland, Bucknell, Dickinson, U of Illinois, U of Richmond, and NYU and UMich as reaches.
Thank You!
