<p>GPA: 3.63 UW
School Dosen't Rank
SAT(old): 1250 </p>

<p>Aplying to Boston UNiversity RD</p>

<p>In 9th grade I was in all regular classes except for math, and I was in integrated science and my GPA sucked. I worked the summers of my Freshman and Sophomore years to catch up and now I'm full IB after a lot of hard work and sweet talking my consuelor. So, I went from regular cclasses with a low GPA to full IB with a high GPA, but my overall is still somewhat low. I also moved from living with a bi-polar guardian who wasn't on their medication and I moved out of state after I was abonded. Will these things make me stick out in my essays and such? Should I mention them?</p>

<p>EC's:
At my old school
BPA: President
Key Club
Multi-Cultural Club</p>

<p>At my new school:
NHS (Vice President)
SNHS
Young Republicans
Young Democrats (Yes, I'm in both, I like both sides of the coin)
Quiz Bowl team</p>

<p>Also, I have done a summer internship at a law firm, have over 150 hours community service at a hospital, did the Cornell Summer program and I had to skip two years of Spanish because my old school had 6 periods for the whole year, so class of language a year. Here, it's 4x4 so you have to have 6 years. I skipped Spanish 3 and 4 and went straight to IB Spanish 1 and got an A and a B+ in IB Spnaish 2. So, in short, I skipped two years of Spanish and did very welland included it in my persoanl statement. I wrtoe the above post a long time ago so it's in the future tense. My school dosen't rank and I'm Full IB. Freshman year I was in all regular classes and took courses over the summer to be in IB. Thanks for any feedback at all!</p>

<p>I know I don't have anything EC's ot test scores that really makes me stand out, but I'm hoping my essays will make me stand out. I also, got a C+ in physcis Junior year, will that kill me?</p>

<p>Your SATs are a little low for BU, but your GPA's OK, and if it shows a solid rise from Freshman to Junior year, that's a plus. And yes, if you can work your tribulations into an essay without making the thing too maudlin so that the adcoms know your story and understand the adversity you overcame to get where you are, that would be a good thing. You may be able to swing this - I'd give you a 40% chance - but make sure you apply to some safety schools just in case.</p>
