<p>I'm a mexican-American senior at a competitive public high school in California and my parents are letting me apply to one of these three Boston schools.</p>
<p>I'm not too familiar with them other than their rankings on U.S. News, and IDK what my chances are for each with a 3.58 GPA Unweighted, 3.83 weighted, (sucks I know :/ ) and a 2100 SAT</p>
<p>Well, all three are very competitive, but you have a good chance - out of state, minority, good SAT - so they are worth applying to. </p>
<p>The college you choose can depend on a number of things - major, lifestyle, sports, etc. So it is impossible to make a recommendation without knowing more. Each school has its strengths and weaknesses. I also think you should make a trip to Boston and visit the colleges to see how you like the campuses. BU and Northeastern are more urban than BC.</p>
<p>I think your GPA is kinda iffy but your SAT score is great! I have recently visited all three schools over the summer (I’m applying to all three too!), and these are the 3 things I’d like to share.
BU has a great urban city campus. It’s buildings are kind of all down one street.
BC is in a nearby suburban town nearby Boston. It has a beautiful campus with old looking buildings. Like, a good sort of old. Like catholic church old kinda. I hope you can picture it. Haha. The campus is really beautiful though.
Northeastern is a nice enclosed campus within Boston.
Now, personally, I thought I would like BC a lot better because I preferred an actual campus, but my mind completely changed once I stepped into Northeastern. Honestly, I fell in love as soon as I walked in. If you like a campus but still want the city right outside your doorstep, I suggest Northeastern.</p>
<p>Out of the 3 schools, I would say that order of difficulty of getting in from least to greatest would be:
BU, Northeastern, and BC.</p>
<p>BC is an amazing school. It’s my reach school, so you can try. Maybe you’ll get in! Who knows? I think you have a shot at both BU and Northeastern. :)</p>
