Thinking of applying

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University

<p>Im currently attending a public school, going into my senior year. I was wondering what my chances were for getting into Boston University, I know its a tough school to get in to but I am considering applying.</p>

<p>My GPA isnt incredibly high, unweighted its an 89, but my core class average is a 94.5. I got a 2000 on the SATS, 660 on math, 660 on reading, and 680 on writing. I got a 650 on the US History subject test, a 680 on the Math I, and a 640 on the Math II. I will have taken a total of 5 AP classes by the end of next year, and all my other classes have been honor with the exception of cp french 3, and cp creative writing. </p>

<p>I am an elected co-chair of a group called The Youth Involvement Subcommittee, which works with the town’s city council and kids council on issues pertaining to youth. I also am head of fundraising for Marine Conservation Club, an active member of Creative Writing Club, a member of NHS, a ninth grade mentor, and received an “Unsung Hero” award freshman year. I also have a lot of community service hours, and I know I can get good recommendation letters from a few teachers.</p>

<p>Let me know what you think, thanks!</p>

<p>Just work on your grades. Your SAT is fine but it wouldn’t hurt to take it again. Your subject tests are okay and the fact that you took three makes you a more competitive applicant. ECAs are good too, and same with APs. Just focus on your grades. Could you maybe squeeze in another AP?</p>

<p>And honestly it isn’t that tough of a school. Lots of people apply but it has a low yield rate. A lot of people view BU as a safety school while a lot of people view it as a reach school. I think that you’d get in regular decision.</p>
