<p>EC's:
-Student Leader and Official Youth Reporter for a youth-run professional organizational event

(it's hard to explain what this is without getting detailed..but basically I was in a position of leadership, responsibilities involved designing social media platform, engaging with other students running the event across the country, working with professional PR companies, etc)</p>

<p>-Internship at local acclaimed theater for 4 years- last 2 years position of leadership as the Social Media Liaison on the Student Board. </p>

<p>I've shown a good amount of demonstrated interest, attended receptions, have a dialogue going with my admissions reader via email...don't know how much bearing this has really, but why not mention!</p>

<p>Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'd really love to be a terrier so hopefully this will get me there!</p>

<p>Oh, also, I wrote my essay about my parent's immigration from a foreign country and how this effected my upbringing and character.</p>

<p>I think you are in. The only reason they might not accept you is your gpa is a bit low. I’m not sure what you are majoring in but those ECs will certainly help.
Also, not saying that you shouldn’t write about what you want but the essay topic is pretty generic so try to make yourself stand out :slight_smile:
I am also applying to BU <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1411720-please-chance-me.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1411720-please-chance-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your GPA is extremely low for Boston and your SAT scores are around average. I’d bet against it, but there is a possibility.</p>

4

<p>Your GPA and SAT score are slightly below average for BU, but I think your chances are good because you are applying ED, have shown interest (I believe BU keeps track of demonstrated interest?), and have pretty good ECs.</p>

<p>Thanks, Donald! yeah…I’m considering changing the essay to be a bit more unique. Haven’t submitted the app yet…thanks for the other feedback, as well. I know my GPA is on the lower side…my main concern :&lt;/p>

<p>GPA is going to hurt you, but ED and the Russian thing will help you.</p>

<p>I’d say BU is a high match/low reach. But don’t let that discourage you!</p>

<p>Chance me back please: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1413287-chance-me-ucs-upitt-carnegie-mellon-cornell-etc-will-chance-back.html#post15019850[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1413287-chance-me-ucs-upitt-carnegie-mellon-cornell-etc-will-chance-back.html#post15019850&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
