<p>GPA is a little low. Don’t worry, you have one year to increase it. At least, get a 3.5. </p>
<p>Take the SAT NOW> You are an under represented minority, so 1800+ should be fine or 27+ ACT.</p>
<p>Thanks, how about classes? Are there any classes to take in the future to look better?</p>
<p>I think that your current and future course load is pretty great. Rack up on the APs but take as many as you can handle. You may know people who take double digit APs during their high school career but for a school like BU, 5 APs should be fine. If you take more than you can handle you may potentially hurt your GPA. You should also make time for extracurriculars and for the SAT. Other than that I think that you’re fine and you’ve got a good chance because you’re a minority.</p>
<p>Thanks Xtreme Power and aznrobot9! Your feedback is greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>I also think your classes look good. Just try to get your GPA up a little and prepare as much as possible for the SAT.
Best of luck!</p>
