I think you have a pretty good shot if not almost guaranteed. i just find it kind of odd that you havent taken more ap classes looking at how accomplished you are!

^^i wouldnt say guaranteed, gpa is average or below average for BU, Sats about average or higher, and sat IIs are prob below average

I've taken all the AP classes my school offers (besides AP Stats since I'm in Calc). They claim to offer AP Chem, Bio, and Physics, but every year when ~5-7 students tried to sign up they said we're understaffed and have no one to teach the subjects haha.

oh i guess i didnt really pay attention to his sat scores since they seemed fine. his gpa is unweighted though and his class rank is pretty good relative to his class size. his extracurriculars could also highly outweigh his "average" scores
