<p>Statistically, I would say you’re on the borderline between having a chance and no chance. But your ECs seem well and you show great strength in the field of mathematics. Your test score–especially ACT, since you’re applying to a Math major–is also good. It’s definitely worth a shot.</p>

<p>My speculation may be off; I’m not sure, but good luck.</p>

<p>Chance me back plz:

<p>the only thing you have to worry about is your gpa…but everything else is pretty strong. i would say try your best in bringing it up a bit and you might have a shot…if it’s too late to do say, well it doesnt hurt to try…</p>

<p>Seems like you have good chances.</p>

<p>remember that ur scores aren’t everything. Your ECs are great, and recs and essay also play a major role, probably even more than ur scores.</p>

<p>I was wondering if your first semester (senior) grades would help/affect your chances through the mid year report, even though applications were already sent in.
I did fairly well first semester, receiving a GPA of 4.4W, 3.6 UW</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>jelly u do have a wonderful shot at BU CGS</p>

<p>i think u will get BU CGS as no one can ever get really rejected by BU they are always, always offered BU CGS</p>

<p>^
I’m sure that is false information given, as one who have applied to BU myself ( and CGS) the university does reject applications as typically acceptance rate is around 50%.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>it isnt false coolbreeze CGS is less selective and therefore takes almost everyone</p>

<p>completely false. i was rejected from BU and did not get offered CGS.</p>
