<p>SAT1 m:570 v:570 1140
ACT: 25
GPA: uw: 3.6 w: 4.10
out of state female, 5 APs, mostly honors
decent ECs…varsity track for 4 years, captain, NHS member etc.
excellent recs, good essays (worked on them for months with my college councelor)
do i still stand a chance because i heard that they dont even look at u if u have below a 27 ACT. im worried!!</p>
<p>it looks doubtful with ur scores but anything could happen</p>
<p>Your SATs are probably the killer, since your GPA is at or above the published 3.5-3.6 range. Consider applying Early Decision II and make sure you write good essays + good recs + good second semester grades and you may get in.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you could try to get into the College of General Studies, which has SAT scores comparable to yours. From what I have heard, the CGS is for a certain brand of people and you're probable to not like it there.</p>
<p>Arb dont apply to the college of general studies. It seems almost remedial. Even the admissions officer i spoke with seemed disgusted when he talked about it.</p>
<p>boston u is definitelly my reach but it isnt my first choice so i wouldnt apply ED2. what do u think my chances RD are with a GPA of 3.7 (im doing well this semester)? i know my scores suck but i heard of someone getting in with like a 1070.</p>
<p>Like all colleges, I'm sure that they weigh more on the grades than the SAT score. But I think that your score just may be a bit too low for admission. And if you do get in, I wouldn't expect an outlandish amount of financial aid- it seems people with average stats get enough trouble trying to make ends meet!</p>
<p>I had a 87 GPA, 1860 SAT, 26 ACT, but a good essay and recs, and I got in. I have a feeling they really will take their time on your app, so spend your energy trying to make it the best ever versus worrying if they'll like you!</p>
