<p>What is your weighted GPA? Your chances look good but not a sure thing. You are right to just send the ACT since that is better. Which college at BU? CAS?</p>

3

<p>my estimate would be like a 3.9 ish weighted.
yes CAS.</p>

<p>our school weights by adding .1 % to honors courses and AP courses... im not sure how other schools do this</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance.</p>
