<p>You have a reasonable chance of being picked up by some school at BU. It's difficult to tell, though, because you have provided only a weighted GPA. Without knowing what classes you're in and your unweighted GPA, we're hard pressed to make a judgment. If your family history has had a <em>very</em>significant_ impact on your life, then it would be good to elaborate. Your school list is very well balanced and seems accurate (unlike many other students').</p>

<p>I think BU is still a little bit of a stretch, except for CGS, unless your get your act/SAT score up a little. Hope you pulled it up a littel last Sat.</p>
