<p>My GPA will likely go up once I get this semester’s grades. I’m on a upwards trend. I’m looking to get over 700 on Math & CR, so I’m going to study OD. And yeah.</p>

<p>BU’s like my fourth choice after NYU, USC, and Chapman, cause I know there’s no way I can get into Northwestern or Columbia, lol. What’s it like? I’ve heard nothing but good stuff about BU.</p>

<p>I would say you're probably okay. I had similar stats (you can see in my profile) and got in. I also got into USC, but I'm sure applying under film makes it harder</p>

<p>Thanks! So, I'm just curious. Why did you chose to accept BU over USC? Was it the cost? </p>

<p>Yeah, film's very competitive, but I'm pretty confident that my short film will win me over.</p>

<p>Well once I got all my acceptances, it came down to BU and USC. I got reeeeally awesome financial aid packages from them both and I think the difference between the two packages was less than $1000 (USC gave me a little more). One of the reasons I chose BU is because I'm majoring in biomed engineering and they're in the top 10 for the program.</p>

<p>My other reason is kind of a strange one. All my extended family is from California, but my dad was in the military so I lived pretty much all over. Except the east coast was one place I'd never been and I wanted a change. I was in Germany when I applied to schools, never visited a single one, and the first time I ever went to the east coast was for my BU orientation haha</p>

<p>Hey, yeah I was a BU vs. USC kid too. I got into both and if I hadn't got into one, I would have gone to the other. Since I got into both though, I picked BU over USC.</p>

6

<p>USC gave you more money?! Wow, I'm surprised. USC's a lot higher ranked than BU, but then again I guess people really only want to go to USC for film, so yeah, lol. Hows the TV station at BU?</p>
