<p>what do you guys think my chances are for boston university?</p>
<p>SATs- 1890
GPA- 3.4
ECs- head of several clubs
Attending- Phillips Exeter Academy
Recommendations- Amazing
Essay- Very Good.</p>
<p>And is it wise to take a semester off… and reapply?</p>
<p>I think you stand a good chance, but that's just me.</p>
<p>Wow you went to Phillips Exeter!<br>
Anyways your stats are near the top of what they released as there 25-75 percent if not above. so you probably stand a pretty good chance even though they got a lot of applicants.</p>
<p>depends- you should be able to get into the college of general studies, but how hard were the classes you took when you got that 3.4? if you had a bunch of IB/AP classes then you should have a much better shot... the SAT might hurt as it's getting more competitive every year.</p>
<p>I took 3 aps this term.. and 2 other class that were considered very prominent, </p>
<p>AP Macroeconomics
AP English
AP Discrete Math
Arabic (very hard coursE)
Ceramics 2 (also considered somewhat AP)</p>
<p>Your GPA is below the middle area of 3.6ish that I was told of when I went to BU, and I think your SAT is a bit low as well. You could definatly get into CGS, but whether or not you will get into another school would depend heavily on your courseload and your ECs.</p>
<p>They also might not directly compare your GPA to someone's GPA from a public school, depending on the difficulty of Phillips Exeter.</p>
<p>is the college of arts and sciences a lot harder to get into? and if they won't accept you to that, do they consider you for the other colleges?</p>
<p>No, I don't believe that CAS is one of the harder schools to get into, but I believe it also depends a lot on what your major is. If you don't get into CAS I think you may be able to get deferred to CGS, but that's all.</p>
<p>hmm ive taken 6 aps, and about 12 honors and have 1400/1990 sats. my gpa is a crappy 2.75/4.00 unweighted, but im native american so i figure that should help and i go to a pretty good private school. do u believe i could get into BU CAS or no?</p>
<p>Your SATs are on the higher end, but your GPA is waaay lower than the average or even middle 50%. Maybe if you had a large improvement (like steeply increasing grades since freshmen or sophmore year) you could have a shot.</p>
<p>heh well we will see tomorrow. There actually was a steep increase from freshman year..from 2.7 to 3.3, but i just continued getting 3.3s after. 9% of their students had a gpa between 2.5-3.0, so i figure i have a small chance. If they were going to accept someone with less than a 3 with my sats and ethnic background id think it could be me.</p>
