Long Shot or In

<p>SAT
Math - 640
Writing - 590 (Went up but did not send, my bad)
Reading - 540 (ouch! This is a strong point for me I was miffed) (went up but did not send, my bad) I don’t know what I did but when my updated scores went out I did’nt get them out to BU. I’m feeling okay, I called and they said the differance was not going to make an effect and that by just looking at everything else I was in good shape. No promises but I was in good shape.</p>

<p>GPA 3.65 unweighted
NHS
7 varsity letters in 3 sports
Captain of one very big team (+80 kids)
Vol hours & Comm service - Lots!!
University award for excelling in one of my classes
1st place public speaking award
AD selected for leadership
Link crew leadership
Killer essay
Rec. letters - I had no idea I made that kind of impact on my teachers…that good.
Applied Engineering - I was told after I applied that by applying to a specific college was very good because it would show that I knew what I wanted. This made me feel good.</p>

<p>There is much more to list but reading this for some I’m sure is more painful than writing. Thank you in advance for the feedback. Don’t beat me up too bad I know there are much better stats and this may be a long shot bt so worth the effort and time.</p>

<p>I visited the school twice, once for the reg. tour and the other was for a tour of the engineering dept. What was cool is when I called to ask if I could see the engineering dept. thay loved it. Thay said it really helps an applicant when they give the extra effort to come back and see the college they are intrested in.</p>

<p>Either way, I’m going to college to one of the 11 I applied to. I’m 4 for 4 right now, I’m waiting on all the private schools to get back to me now much like everybody else. What made me feel good was getting an offer to the U of Maryland engineering dept. Considering their SAT and GPA expectations I have a good chance at BU… Lets hope!!</p>
