<p>Boston University Admission?
I know that only admission counselors can legitimately decide whom they admit, but I was wondering what you think my chances are for freshman admission to Boston Unviersity? (Discerning advice would be appreciated)</p>

<p>I graduated at sixteen and I'm currently taking audit classes at a community college.</p>

<p>GPA 3.6 W / UW 3.46</p>

<p>SAT I
690 Verbal
660 Math
610 Writing</p>

<p>SAT II
I will not receive the scores until December, though I think I did reasonably well.</p>

<p>Great recommendations, even one from my principal.</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance of getting into BU. I would consider other schools like NYU, Boston College. Obviously, it will depend on your major.</p>

<p>good luck,</p>

<p>I think you have a reasonable shot.. I would consider BU a low reach/high match. I think your classes are what sell you.</p>
