[zmcm151]

I have a friend who is applying to boston u and doesnt want to get into one of the more competative schools but wants to apply to College of General Studies. Does anyone have any insight as to what the average requirements are for CGS??

Thanks

Take a look at BU’s general admission stats, and nowadays CGS is not much lower than those (people will try to convince you CGS is for the less competitive students and while that may be somewhat true in cases, these students still have good stats). If they are applying directly to CGS and are at/close to those stats, then they would be in fine shape.

BU apparently no longer breaks out CGS admission stats separately.
