What are my chances for BYU?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>My top choice for college is BYU and then BYU Hawaii. I have a 4.0 GPA and have/will take 5 AP classes. I have over 500+ hours of volunteer work with a variety of non-profit organizations. I think that I have enough extracurricular, leadership, and work advantages as well. I am also student body president and will be valedictorian. I'm also attending a International school in China. I'm hoping this will help in making my chances better since I'm not just another Utah applicant (though I would have been). It's my ACT/SAT scores I am worrying about. I'm taking both in Oct and Nov. I got a 25 on my first ACT practice test and each time I take it it improves. I still have a while before I take it and I will be taking it more than once. I'm hoping for a 28 at the least. Does this lower my chances considerably? Do I have a good chance of getting in?</p>

<p>Also, a totally off topic question, do international students have to do an interview for the application or is that just Utah students?</p>

<p>Please reply, I'm really freaked out about my application.</p>

<p>It looks like you are in good shape! Things to note about BYU-Provo: I went on the campus tour last summer and they said that 85% of admitted males have completed their Eagle Scout and the average (middle 50%) ACT composite score is 27. Not that your application has to include both of these distinctions, but a great number of applicants have these merits and you should try to keep up with the pack. However, with your level of volunteer work, stellar GPA, and near-average ACT score for admitted students, I would guess you have a solid chance of getting in! Getting the ACT score up to 28 would help you significantly, though. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply! I’m LDS so I will be a Seminary Graduate and I have completed my Young Women’s Recognition Award so I think that’s covered. I’m really hoping that I can get in :)</p>
