| I think your notion of fit is nice but not reality. Fit is fit. Not can one succeed or otherwise. Were yours the definition used by admissions, there'd be no basis to reject a great many students. In fact, most are rejected though, even among those who you'd suggest "fit."
So there you have it. You would seemingly honestly see this young man as a near perfect fit for BU. I honestly don't. Not even really very close. And I'm not willing to patronize his mom. Guess that's why they have admissions committees.
Again, to the question of "chances?": Not strong at all, imho. |
