<p>I'm expecting a good letter from each.</p>

<p>Extra:
Two letters from BU Professors when I participated in a summer challenge program at the school, both say very good things.</p>

<p>Essays: Should be decent but nothing superb or below average.</p>

<p>Please let me know my chances! I have bad test scores/gpa but I have great EC's and Class Rigor.</p>

<p>You have too many ECs at that. If you laundry list them, adcoms are going to turn purple with nausea and flip the page. Choose the ones that matter to you and what you want to do, and elaborate on those. As for your letters, I recommend them from your actual school unless you have very specifics why not. Sorry, but I don’t think I know enough about some of those schools to give you a fair chancing.</p>

<p>I have put a lot of time into all of these extra curricular except Multi Cultural Club…</p>

<p>Most of my EC’s are serious buisness such as Resarching/Political Canvassing/Hospital Work/Debate Captain/Quiz Bowl Stuff/etc</p>

<p>I don’t see what I would be able to cut off besides MCC considering I invested a lot of time into each EC.</p>

<p>Someone chance me, thanks in advance!</p>

<p>In the long run it’s your decision to make. I don’t want to seem like I’m a pushover or anything; do what you feel comfortable with.</p>

6

<p>Oh alright thanks for the advice though!</p>

<p>It’s just that my EC’s are the only thing that are above average on my application so I feel like I need to show them all because this is where most of my time was spent after school and during the summer’s.</p>
