Chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Can someone please help me? I want to know if I have any chance at getting into the Boston University RISE program this summer (summer after junior year in high school). I am also considering attending BYU Provo so if you could match me to that too great! :)</p>

<p>ACT: 33 (math 31, English 35, reading 34, science 33)
Haven't taken ACT</p>

<p>4 on AP Bio test freshman year, 5 on AP Statistics test last year, taking AP Chem this year</p>

<p>Interested in neuroscience, particularly cognitive and physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy and autism.</p>

<p>Interested in research</p>

<p>Volunteer at local hospital, special olympics, and peer tutored special needs students.</p>

<p>Involved in church and other community activities</p>

<p>Have an after school job working the after school daycare center at my school.</p>

<p>I really want to get into this program. Does anyone have any information about it too (cost, what it's really like, is it good to attend?)? Thanks!</p>

<p>I have no idea about RISE but, if your GPA is in the 3.7+ range BU is a low match… in which case you can aim higher.</p>

<p>“We consider applicants who are entering their senior year of high school in 2013. Admission is based on a combination of high school grades, rigor of courses taken, standardized test scores, a personal statement, and two letters of recommendation.”
You need to provide your GPA in your post, but your ACT is clearly competitve for such a program. Given the competition of such summer programs, I believe that much of the admission review process will depend on your essays and recommendations–somethings that we on CC cannot review ourselves.

<p>I’m not really sure about my GPA, but I think I have around a 4.0. I got all A’s last semester but my school’s scale is kind of weird.</p>
