<p>You look pretty solid for BU. I wil lguess u have about 70+% to get accepted ED.</p>

3

<p>It would be hard to see them not accepting you.</p>

4

<p>bumppppppp</p>

5

<p>Why BU? You should try for BC.</p>

6

<p>BC is a Jesuit school and I"m Jewish, so I’m not considering it.</p>

7

<p>What school are you applying to?</p>

8

<p>CAS, very slight chance College of Comm.</p>

<p>Well I still don’t understand, is there something that I am missing?</p>

<p>Why don’t you apply ED to an ivy instead? Boston University…is very…well.</p>
