<p>Alright, so I'm a pretty average student in my opinion, grade-wise. I've taken all honors classes throughout my high-school career (I'm now a junior), but I'm about to drop down to not honors chem. I've gotten all A's and B's, with one C in Physical Science my freshman year. I've gotten A+'s in the two AP classes I've taken, AP World and AP US, with a 5 and a 4 on the exams. I'm going to try to self-study AP Psychology and take either AP Lit or AP Lang, and possibly AP Euro. I'm currently taking AD Latin American Studies, which will give me college credit at the University of Connecticut. I've taken the SAT once, and got 1780, but I'm planning on taking it two more times before I apply to schools. I haven't taken any subject tests, but I will soon. Also, I'm in French 4, and I'm planning on doing some sort of summer program that will give me French 5 credit, so I might be able to graduate with French 6 credit. I'm planning on double majoring in theatre and psychology, and for some reason most of the schools I'm looking at our in Boston. These include: Emerson (top choice), Northeastern, Tufts, Boston College, and maybe Brandeis. Do I have a chance of getting into any of these?</p>
<p>BC and Tufts will be challenges, and I’m not sure about Emerson/Brandeis, but I’d say you’re in at Northeastern.</p>
<p>BC, Tufts, Brandeis all reaches. Raising your SAT 100-200 points will give you great chances at Emerson, BU, Northeastern.</p>
<p>You my have a more reaches than safe schools but it’s definitely always worth a shot? what about boston university? That’s where I want to go. Chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1247480-chances-getting-into-boston-university.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1247480-chances-getting-into-boston-university.html</a> thanks and good luck!</p>
<p>To the extent you can, I would try and find some schools that are to your liking outside of the Boston area.</p>
<p>The competition is very intense to go to school in Boston, and the quality of the applicants from the Northeast in my opinion is higher than in some areas of the country.</p>
<p>You will get more bang for your buck applying to the south and the midwest, and there are plenty of good schools in those areas. And perhaps they are a bit easier to get into.</p>
