Hi, everyone! I know none of you are admissions counselors at BU but I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on if I would be a good fit for BU/get in?
Intended Major: International Relations
Race: White
Gender: Female
School: On the bigger side, it’s a really good school ranked in the top 50 of NJ
UW GPA: 3.66
W GPA: 3.82 (I know it seems low but it’s the average for students accepted to BU for my school on Naviance… our GPA weighting system is weird)
SAT: Not submitting it but I got a 1280… funny how much better you can do on one test versus the other!
ACT: 30, taking it again in September and I am projected to get at least a 32 by my ACT tutor
Reading: 34
English: 33
Math: 25
Science: 29
(You can see what I’m working on with my tutor lol)
Courseload (no IBs at my school):
I’ve taken mostly honors and AP classes with the exception of my math classes and this upcoming year my courseload is AP Lit, AP Environmental Science, AP Calc AB, AP Psych, AP Human Geo, and AP Gov
Last year I took 3 APs and my results on the test were:
AP Lang (4)
AP Gov (5)
AP Photo (5)
Activities:
-Written two books that are published on a website/app and they’ve gotten over 140k reads together
-Thespian Honor Society (9-continuing)
-Lots of plays and musicals, played a lead last year and I have a leadership position in helping out the underclassmen and being like a role model this year that is like an official duty tradition thing (idk how else to describe it) (9-continuing)
-Freshman year was nominated for and joined a group in our school where we were trained to stop bullying
-I joined a new program in my county where we are working on making the high schools more welcoming to diversity and helping some of the students in our county who can’t speak English (they immigrated from Latin American countries in the last five years) and aren’t treated equally and with respect in our community
(I’m also in these but you can only be inducted at the end of our junior year at my school just so you know:
-NHS
-English Honor Society
Volunteer Stuff:
-Student director for my middle school’s musicals (11 and I’m going to again this year)
-Was on the planning committee for an Ultimate Frisbee Tournament where all funds went to a school/home for boys who struggle with various issues such as mental health and family issues (11 and I’m going to again this year)
Hooks (? I don’t really want to call it this but): Family issues
I’ve also shown interest through visiting and I’ve emailed my admissions counselor a couple times
Thank you so much for reading all of this, any opinions would be great!!
