Do I have a chance to get into Boston University [BU]?

I have a 3.33 gpa. Working really hard to increase it a little in my senior year. Will that help?

I will be getting my ap results soon, and I'm expecting mostly 4s for all three of the ones that i took. My SAT score is 1750, but I will be attempting it again. Hopefully to score above 1850. I have a lot of work experience [2 internships] and have also worked one non-profit outside of school. I made the varsity swim team, participated in Model United Nations thrice, science council, environment club.

I've met some people in the school and also have some contacts in BU.. I am planning to apply Early Decision.

Do you think I have a good shot?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Yes, I think you have a very good shot. Your internships will really help your resume.
