<p>i think that your transcript is really good and you can tell that your school values you since you have all those honors. the test scores will hurt you for the highly selective schools but i dont think they will kill you because everything else is good. i think BU is a perfect match for you and you will definately get in. your gpa and ecs are above average for them and your test scores are right on track. good luck!</p>
