3

<p>You should be in with no problem.</p>

4

<p>Do you think I could get in CAS?</p>

5

<p>Do you think I can get into CAS? If not, do they accept me in CGS?</p>

6

<p>I think you're in, but probably CGS. Given the GPA its likely that BU will want you to take the core curriculum in CGS.</p>

7

<p>Even with a 32 which is about 6 points above their average?
My Sophomore year I had a death in a family which caused me to get a 2.8, Junior year: 4.0, Senior Year: 4.5 (Mid year)</p>

8

<p>Be sure you explain the circumstances in your essay and your counselor might also write an explanatory note.</p>

9

<p>I think you will get into CAS for sure. You have a rigorous senior course load and being an AA male helps in any northern school that is looking to increase diversity. Good luck.</p>
