<p>Chance me please
GPA: 3.4 unweighted (I don’t really know how to do the weighted thing, my school doesn’t do that) Took 2 APs and 2 honors junior year. Taking 3 APs and 2 honors next year.
I have an upward slope in my GPA. I went from an 86% to an 87% to a 93-94% last year. I’ve taken accelerated classes all through highschool. Will BU see that?</p>
<p>I am taking the ACT in September, aiming for a 29-32. I am also taking the SAT II for Math (600 range, probably) and APUSH/Lit (700 range, crossing my fingers)</p>
<p>I have a ton of EC’s that I’m too lazy to list right now, but I am in the top half of my class. I go to an extremely competitive public school in CT.</p>
<p>bmedude is probably playing with you… somewhat. Your SAT is strong however your GPA ideally should be a tenth or two higher. I still think your chances are okay, but not a slam-dunk. Don’t apply ED and show a strong fall GPA when applying RD. I don’t think your chances improve by applying ED versus RD at BU anyway.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about converting your gpa to the 4.0 scale. Colleges will normally ask for your gpa and the scale used at your high school. Just try to raise your GPA a bit.</p>
<p>The average admitted GPA is an A-, but I believe that’s all of the schools averaged together. If you raise your GPA to a 90% or above I think you have a pretty good chance, especially since your SAT is slightly above the average. Of course it’s impossible to say you will definitely get in, but I would say it’s a pretty good match for you. Of course a lot of it depends on which school you are applying to within BU.</p>
<p>I am applying to CAS.
I don’t know if it’s possible to raise my GPA to a 90, seeing as my 93-94 GPA last year raised my cumulative (which was an 87) only 1 point something percent.
I don’t know whether to apply ED or RD. BU is my first choice. I want them to know that, which is why I want to apply ED.</p>
<p>But at the same time, I want them to see my senior grades and I want those grades to be incorporated into my GPA in order to raise it a bit. I also am applying for need-based FA. (etc)</p>
<p>these people are ****ing with u, ur stats are fine. as long as your EC’s are actually good you should be set, its BU not Duke
besides, if you don’t get in then i could be in trouble, my gpa and sats are identical to yours (diff breakdown on sats though) and BU is in my top 3</p>
