I am thinking of applying...A LOT of questions!

<p>How is BU 's?</p>

<p>A) Computer Science Program
B)Physics/AstroPhysic program (Do you work with Harvard on Chandra for example?)</p>

<p>Also how am I grade and stuff wise…Not official, just this seem right…I am only a junior</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.2-3.3 GPA
Ranked in top 25%(MAYBE top 10%)
My PSAT score was a 195
All Honors courses(except English)
Next year I have AP History, Senior Year I am taking AP Chem,AP Bio,AP Calc and maybe AP Psych </p>

<p>ECs:
Member of award winning Marching,Concert and Jazz Band
Leader in Mock Trial
Co-Founder of Debate Club
Web Team(we run school web site)
National Honors Society
Rhode Island Honors Society
2nd Place in State Science Fair
Programmed a few game
3rd place in statewide Starcraft Tournement(True, but a joke)
I also play Guitar and Golf for fun.</p>

<p>Also, how is the Financial Aid?
Money isn't a problem but it is something that I with factor when I compare schools.</p>

<p>A)
Computer</a> science dept. ranked 7th in nation - News
B) No idea</p>

<p>See if you can get your GPA up. Colleges love an upward trend.
What race do you play as on SC?</p>

<p>Protoss of course</p>

<p>Also does BU offer a CSEE program?
joint computer science and electrical engineering </p>

<p>Also...How high tech is the campus?
I know it doesn't really have a campus, but just the classrooms and dorms.</p>

<p>I plan to visit both BU,BC,NorthEastern and maybe MIT next year...I mean it is like a 1/2 hour drive.
I am looking at BU the most out of all them, BC is a good school and a great campus and all but it is overrated IMO and much hard to get into. They just are popular because the Eagles are one of the best teams in the country.</p>

<p>I am also concern on other things</p>

<p>I like the fact that it is in Boston, because I love Boston. I hear BU is exceptionally snobby and preppy I as you can tell am quite normal and somewhat geeky. But I find that fact that it is right down the street from MIT and Harvard since I believe 2 of my friends are on the Harvard track and I would like to eventually go to MIT via transfer or for graduate school. </p>

<p>What is this about downscaling grades? Why would they want to do that?</p>

<p>what's your weighted gpa?
it seems odd that you're top ten percent with a 3.3.</p>

<p>the gpa is the questionable part of your chances..
the average accepted gpa is a lot higher, but if you're top ten percent-ish, it might not matter that it's low</p>

<p>your sat's will probably naturally go up
(for me, sophomore psat's were 182, junior psat's were 202, junior year 1st sat's were 2040, and junior year 2nd sat's were 2150. i didn't take classes or anything, although before the second sat's i definitely tried to study the material)</p>

<p>even if your sat's don't go up, i think they're alright</p>

<p>Weighted is like a 3.6 or so...Like I said I am going to try really hard to bring it up.</p>

<p>Just work on getting your GPA up, and make sure you do well on your SATs.</p>

<p>By the way, I'm "normal and geeky" and I fit in at BU just fine. It seems to be a common misconception that the campus has an abnormally high portion of airheads, while I've found that's not exactly the case, at least not around my part of campus (CAS/Warren Towers area).</p>
