<p>Hi everyone, BU has always been my number one dream college. I’d like to ask for everyone’s opinion on my chances of getting in or not. I currently just started junior year (I know it’s very important). Here are my grades so far and my activities, keep in mind my school got rid of honors courses after my freshman year and my school has very few AP courses.
Freshman year: Overall gpa 3.3
I took Biology, English, honors Global History, second year of Spanish (I did the first year in junior high, so I’m ahead of everyone), Algebra, art, gym
I was in photography club, key club, film club
Sophomore year: Overall gpa 3.7 (there was only one AP course available for sophomores and my school got rid of honors classes)
I took Chemistry, English, my last year of Spanish, second year of global history, geometry, gym, sculpture, digital art
I was dedicated to Seekers christian club and I was accepted into the yearbook committee.
Junior Year (I am currently a Junior)
I’m going to maintain at least a 3.7 gpa and get at least 600s on all three sections of the SATs.
I’m taking AP U.S. History, AP English, Physics, Trigonometry, Advanced Drawing, and Advanced digital art.
I’m going to join seekers again, the classic literature club, and debate team. I am also photographer of the Yearbook committee.
Senior year I’m going to maintain my 3.7 gpa. I will also be taking the us history and literature sat subject tests. For senior year I’m going to take AP literature, AP Economics, AP environmental science, and as many APs as possible.
I have played piano for 7 years and played in concerts
I’m part of NYSSMA (New York State School Music Association)
I like to draw and I’m a freelance photographer
I write poetry and I read classic literature voluntarily
I’m going to intern at my hospital
So do I make the cut? I’m also not sure about my class rank but I’m estimating it to be top 25% or at least 50%. I need opinions and maybe even advice :)</p>
<p>I’m also a junior, and from what I’ve read, if you keep you 3.7 GPA and hopefully improve upon that then your chances are decent. 600’s on all sections of the SATs would be ideal for BU, and considering your school involvement I think that helps a lot. But in all honesty I wouldn’t bank on anything. BU’s selection percentage is apparently 54. I would up your GPA as much as possible, but GPA isn’t the only factor!</p>
