<p>My GPA is slightly low… I kind of slacked off sophomore and junior year but I worked hard Senior year.</p>

<p>I am currently a senior, taking 5 AP classes, 1 Honors, and 1 Elective. I got 5 A’s (4 AP’s and Elective) and 1 B (AP) and a 79.1……in an AP… .4 away from a B….
Will that C kill my chances?</p>

<p>I have taken 8 APs throughout high school and the highest possible honors courses. My school does not weight honors classes so GPA weighting is different at my school.</p>

<p>(AP Environmental Science, AP Human Geography, AP Computer Science, AP Government, AP Statistics, AP Psychology, AP Calculus, AP US History)</p>

<p>GPA: UW : 3.32
W: 3.47
RANK: Top 28%</p>

<p>SAT: MATH: 700 READING: 560 WRITING: 660
ACT: 28 composite (30 English/27 Math)</p>

<p>Good Essay (Hoping)
Good Recommendations
Good ECs too</p>

<p>Low reach/high match – your SAT CR+M should be 1300+ or ACT should be 30+ and your GPA will hurt. Average rank of a student entering BU is 11% - so that is also something to keep in mind.</p>

<p>Reach. But I think you’ll be okay. They typically reject/waitlist overqualified students in regular decision. Just depends on the amount of interest you have demonstrated in your essays. </p>

<p>You may get into CGS. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>Reach. I think it will all come down to your essays/extracurricular activities.</p>

<p>@junenathanyi My scores are ever so slightly higher than yours, 1910 SAT and 3.5 weighted GPA with all AP courses and such and good EC’s. Applying to CAS so fingers crossed haha.</p>
