<p>I go to a fairly well known high school that is often ranked as one of the top 10 high schools in the nation. I plan on going to BU to study business.</p>
<p>So, with early decision, what’re my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>Our DD’s stats/EC’s were similar to yours (higher SAT, lower ECs). She was deferred in ED, and accepted regular decision this past year. BU is getting more and more selective -it is a terrific school and worth working hard for. I think what pushed her over the hump is that she thoroughly researched the school and included many non-obvious suggestions into the portion of the Common App about why she wanted to go speecifically to BU (I believe it was a “where do you see yourself in four years essay”). For example, she read old copies of BU Today, looked into the Community Service Center offerings, researched her college’s current newsletters, etc. She even went on rate my professors dot com and included the name of a popular professor who got great ratings in her essay! It is that level of commitment to the school as an applicant that I think pushed her over the edge. In my opinion, BU’s current administration (Dean Elmore who is totally a hoot is the Dean of Students) is passionate about passion, and that is what they look for. Good luck!</p>
