I wanna go to BU because my girlfriend does

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University

<p>So yea. my girlfriend had this college as one of her picks. So I’m trying to get accepted here. FYI shes is waaaaaaaaaay smarter than I am. lol</p>

<p>I currently have a SAT score of 1730. Not looking good so far but I plan on retaking. 550 on critical reading and 550 on verbal</p>

<p>For extra curricular activities I have been head of the media committee in church and vacation bible school. JSA member, stock club member, promotions of literary magazine. assisstant director in the school year movie. Also a member of westborough high school film club</p>

<p>In school I’m taking a bunch of science and math classes to raise my GPA [ ap bio, ap stats, honors physics, honors calc] and not one of them have anything to do with Film or television. My GPA using the collegeboard scale, is a 3.3.</p>

<p>As I just said I’m taking a bunch of hard classes and this is a big jump for me. and right now I’m failing AP stats and physics.</p>

<p>I’m trying to major in film production btw. Also i hear BU has very few students in their film program so Im guessing thats a good thing for me?</p>

<p>NYU, Syracuse, American University, are the only other options. and my gf is applying to brown, NYU, BU, BC, Colombia, Welsley. OMG I dont want to lose her! I dont mind as long as we’re in the same city.</p>

<p>Sibyl vane told me to make my post a thread so. lol i used his/her advice</p>

<p>btw i know that for the other schools sat II's are not required but instead one of your works must be submitted. is taht true for BU to? I couldn't find it on their site.</p>

3

<p>so target or reach? and what can i do to raise my chances. keep in mind im a senior so.....i got less than 2 months</p>

<p>It's a reach.</p>

<p>You have no shot at Cuse or NYU either.</p>

<p>5 f's</p>

<p>find her, french her, finger her, f- her, forget her.</p>

<p>dude u forgot step 5</p>

<p>but seriously just think about things for a lil bit</p>

<p>BU is a reach for u.. but try improving ur SATs and u might have a shot at CGS..
and also there are so many schools in the surrounding boston area..so theres so many schools u can apply too (BU, Bentley, Babson, Emerson, Suffolk, Northeastern, UMass..etc.) </p>

<p>im a freshman at BU right now and love it..but i have so many friends in schools around here too..so dont look at BU as your only option..</p>

<p>honestly i think picking a school around your gf isnt the best way to go..but if u want to be in the same area i understand</p>

<p>i dont kno what schools in boston are big on film..but with so many choices im sure u can find some to be matches and safeties..</p>

<p>good luck.</p>

<p>Emerson College is totally focused on communications. You might have a chance there. It's a great location. One of the biggest dorms is right across from the T stop on Boylston Street.</p>

<p>going to a college because your girlfriend does is about the worst reason I can think of to go to any school.</p>
