<p>I know it's bad but what can I do to improve, and what colleges do you recommend for me to apply to? I'm thinking about BC, Georgetown, BU, University of Washington (we automatically get in due to the program I"m in), and Northeastern (I don't know to much about it if you do please tell me!) Thanks so much.</p>
<p>I’m sorry for judging you, but that’s pretty much what this whole thing is about anyway.</p>
<p>You’re aiming too high. Georgetown and BU are so prestigious. They accept the best of the very VERY best. They don’t want to see just the grades, the classes, the test scores. They’re interested in the kids who have stories. And unless you have a wonderful story AND amazing stats, you won’t get into an Ivy League. Georgetown, maybe. But that’s a reach. </p>
<p>Small, liberal arts colleges often have better educations anyway. Look more, past the names, and just look at a school’s program rather than their reputation.</p>
<p>BC and Georgetown are much higher than BU. I say that you have a very good chance of getting into BU, work on your SATs a bit though, and maintain that GPA. IF you can fit more extracurriculars over the summer, it will definetely help</p>
