Chances of getting into Boston University (BU)?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>My current and cumulative GPA are currently about the same : 2.75 (Yes, stop rolling your eyes, I know). However I scored a 27 on my ACT and 1960 on the SAT, and if needed those can be retaken. </p>

<p>Current classes:
Apparel 2
Pre-Calc
Personal Finance
American Lit 2
Photojournalism 2
Biology
AP US History</p>

<p>Senior Year 1st Semester classes:
Composition through Film Study
Biotech Engineering
AP Biology
AP Psychology
Female Team Sports (Gym)
Student Cadet in Biology
Yearbook</p>

<p>Extra curricular and volunteer:
Cross Country (9, 10, 12) JV and Varsity
Soccer (9, 10) Freshmen and JV
Special Olympics Buddy (10, 11, 12)
Meals on Wheels (To begin summer 2013)
APA (Animal Shelter) - (To begin summer 2013)
LINK Crew (12) Organization to help Freshmen transfer into high school, etc.
Yearbook Photographer (12)
Camera Operator for KHS Sports Media (11, 12)</p>

<p>I'm also looking to take an online course/courses over the summer in things like photoshop, film, etc. I'm not sure what they would be exactly. </p>

<p>I realize that my GPA, well, sucks, but my grades do show an upward trend. My semester GPA Sophomore year was a 2.2 and now, as a junior, it's a 2.75 (I do believe that the GPA of my current grades is a 3.0).</p>

<p>Boston University is my first choice and I will do absolutely anything to get in. I will also be visiting their campus this summer. I will also be in NROTC (Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps) and I would need little to no financial aid. My intended major would be something along Journalism and Film Production.</p>

<p>So, what do you think? Also, do you have any suggestions of what else I should do to build up my resume?</p>

<p>BU: Reach</p>

<p>The best thing to do at this point is: attend another college for a year or two, put your act together there and then transfer into BU.</p>

<p>I agree with above… It’s almost unheard of to get accepted to BU with below a 3.0 gpa. Sorry.</p>

<p>BEcause you do so many other good things you might have a chance…i only had a 3.4 in high school and I just recently got into BU, so maybe if you can pull that GPA up a bit more or talk to past teachers and ask them to change a B to a B+ (only if you know them well) then I believe you have a chance!</p>
