<p>Ive been deferred at Boston University and im wondering what i can do to help my chances and what chances do i actually have?</p>

<p>SAT 760 Math 630 Verbal
SATIIs 750 Writing
750 Math 2C
690 Chemistry
600 US Hist</p>

<p>highly competitive private school in New Jersey that doesnt rank
GPA 83.5/100</p>

<p>Sr year: AP Law/Gov
AP CALC AB
AP COMP SCI A
Modern Drama (AP ENGLISH DIDNT FIT WITH SCHEDULE)
PHYSICS</p>

<p>2 APs, 2 honors last year and had 7 serious courses overall</p>

<p>Extracurricular:</p>

<p>120+ hrs volunteering at hospital
cocaptain of wrestling team
baseball team
sports editor of school newspaper
Near completion of EAGLE SCOUT AWARD= just waiting on paperwork</p>

<p>My freshman and sophomore grades were consistant low Bs and one C+ each year...
Junior year grades imporved and Sr year GPA is about 3 pts higher than career</p>

<p>essay assume average/above average
recommendations by 2 qualified teachers plus one from hospital I volunteer at.</p>

<p>My letter of deferal suggested sending sr year grades, i presume its to see if my junior year grades were an anomyly or if i actually did mature after sophomore year. I think senior grades will help me but What can I do to help my chances besides sending a letter to admissions office?</p>

<p>Do I have a shot or is gaining admission after being deferred near impossible?</p>

<p>it's not impossible...but it kind of looks like you were applying to boston u. as a safety school..your stats are well above what they expect..and your ECs don't seem that bad at all for BU...other than that..your GPA is kind of on the low-side for Boston U. More than anything they may accept you..but you're deferred as of right now, it looks like you applied to BU as a safety.</p>

<p>since he applied there early decision isn't it impossible for it to be a safety? i dunno am i missing something?</p>

<p>oh and by the way you got good sat for bu and great sat 2s but ur ecs and gpa are somewhat lacking. i wouldn't say it's impossible to get in after being deferred but it's by no means a safety. just do well in ur senior year and itll help alot</p>
