Quinnipiac? Boston University?

<p>I'm currently a junior looking for good PA (Physicians Assistant) programs in CT and MA.
So far I've really been interested in Quinnipiac University in Hamden CT and Boston University in Boston MA.
My cumulative GPA for freshman and sophomore year so far is a 3.6. My junior year is not updated yet since it is not over.
I have taken the SAT's once without studying for them so far and I received a score of 1600.
I volunteer at a Polish language school, and am planning to start volunteering at a hospital near by. At my high school, I was apart of the international club, Unity team I play varsity tennis, Chemistry club, I mentor 2nd graders through a club in my school, volunteer at youth vote, manage the boys soccer team, am apart of the National Honor Society, and have volunteered and helped out at the Soup Kitchens and Food Shelves in my town.
I have taken these classes in freshman year: French 3, Bus Con&Careers, World History, Geometry, English 9, and Biology.
Sophomore year: English 10, Algebra 2, Chemistry, French 4 , Modern Wrld History, Civics, and Spanish 1
Currently in Junior Year: English 11, Pre-Calculus, Physics, AP/UCONN Chemistry, French 5, and AP US History
Scheduled Senior Classes: AP Biology, Genocide, Individual and Society, Critical Writing, Calculus, Anatomy, and Psychology
Is there anything I would need to improve on to be accepted to QU or BU and the PA program?</p>

<p>Also, my rank is 25/236</p>

<p>With a 1600/2400 SAT, BU would be out of reach.</p>

<p>Hi patrycjaaa0831, I would suggest trying to get some shadowing hours with a PA at some point before you plan on applying to QU or BU. At least for QU, I know they perfer students to have some sort of shadowing experience. </p>

<p>I agree with @tomofboston. You definitely need to improve your SAT score (dramatically) if you want to get into Boston U. </p>
