<p>Oh Sorry guys I forgot to mention my test scores!</p>

<p>ACT: 27 composite (29 English, 26 Math, 27 Reading, 27 Science; 9 Essay; 28 combined English/Writing sub score)</p>

3

<p>your scores are a little on the low side for both but with good essays I would say high match/ low reach</p>

4

<p>GPA and scores are good for BU, though not ideal for GT. However, as a URM at a selective school, there isn’t quite so much cause for concern. ECs are solid, as is your courseload.</p>

<p>BU- Match
GT- Mid-Reach</p>

<p>Edit: Had misread as Georgetown.</p>

<p>GW- Low-Reach/High-Match</p>

<p>match for both

<p>Anyone else??</p>

<p>Match for both; URM should help a lot but it might be beneficial to retake the ACT? Idk, I think you should be solid</p>

<p>Match for BU, low reach for GW. Please chance me back <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1594388-will-transfer-better-school-help-me-get-into-my-top-schools-ea.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1594388-will-transfer-better-school-help-me-get-into-my-top-schools-ea.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>They are both in the match area.</p>

<p>I think you’ll get into BU. Write strong essays. They sometimes make the biggest difference.
I don’t know much about GWU.
Best of luck!</p>

12

<p>I think you have a good shot at BU!
GW may be a bit more of a reach only because of your scores, but everything else looks good so you may be ok! </p>

<p>Merry Christmas, hope you didn’t let applications stress you out today :slight_smile: thanks for commenting on my post!</p>

<p>Boston is a match for you. Because the first thing they look at is your transcript and course selection .
You’re ECs are strikingly .
And for the TEST SCORES AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN THEIR SCORE RANGE … YOU NEED NOT TO WORRY much.<br>
