High School GPA 2.2
Athletics: Rugby
EC’s- Clark Dodge Asset Management Intern in White Plains, NY… Honors Program at Manhattanville College…30 hours in community service just from fall semester thus far… was the Freshman class president… </p>
<p>How are my odds?</p>
<p>Your stats are similar to mine. </p>
<p>Bad high school GPA (about 2.83 for me). I’m a sophomore at Jr.College, will transfer as a Junior. College GPA will be between 3.7 and 3.9, depending on this semester, hopefully the higher end. </p>
<p>I don’t have an internship, but have a decent amount of volunteer work, and am the Publicity director for an honor society on campus, for which I’ve done a good amount of work. </p>
<p>I just hope the HS gpa doesn’t automatically disqualify me. I have finished 30 units, 17 in progress. By the time I transfer, I will finish over 60…hopefully they all transfer.</p>
<p>I’m applying for the COM school for advertising.</p>
<p>For those of you who were admitted to BU, what were your reasons for “why BU is a good fit for you and what specifically has led you to apply for admission?”
I know they are looking for more then I love the campus and I have the grades to attened.</p>
<p>I wish this thread was more active. I’m applying to USC as well and they have almost a thousand posts in their transfer thread. Not a competition, but does that indicate that BU is not on many people’s radar for transfer or they simply don’t care as much about BU? I know a lot of the people wanting to go to USC have that as their top choice. </p>

<p>I basically wrote that moving across the country will be a good experience and its good for me to take on new challenges and be in a new city. I also talked specifics about the curriculum, internship opportunities, and student diversity.</p>
