<p>My son has a low GPA, around 3.0 thanks to a weak 9th grade year but has been on steady incline since and taking a rigorous IB curriculum this year. Has 1990SAT score, taking SAT 2’s this weekend. His SAT score puts him in BU’s middle 50% but not his GPA. </p>
<p>So if he doesnt’ get in, would he fit the general studies profile though I have been told his SATscore is higher than the middle 50 in that program. What do you think?</p>
<p>General Studies:</p>
<p>GPA Average - 3.2
SAT/ACT middle 50% - 1130-1230 / 25</p>
<p>i applied to SMG recently with a 3.52uw/25act, go to a very competative public school in Washington State, excellent recs, ecs, essays. I am guessing my chances at SMG are slim to none, but do you guys thing i can pull of CGS?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>ctmom, he should be fine for CGS.</p>
<p>how about me b05ton or anyone else, chances at CGS? or SMG (yikes though)</p>
<p>I think his SAT is fine. I'm in BU's ENG program and I only had a 2040 for my SAT score. The gpa is obviously on the lower side but I think your S should get into CGS fine. Even though the CGS is a lower division in BU, I know many people from CGS that works extremely hard and have very decent grades (this is especially hard since bu's grading curve is very stingy).</p>
<p>p.s. to the person above, I think you should have a good shot at CGS.</p>
<p>Huskies- You have a shot at SMG, but CGS is more likely.
Besides, it's the same degree in the end, right?
ctmom: what was his SAT score without the writing component? either way i'd say he has a fairly good chance.</p>
<p>almost without it 1290. 600cr 690 math</p>
<p>his good friend got into the comm. school last year with a 1890 but a higher GPA. so who knows?</p>
