You’re a fine student with an increasing GPA and you served in the military ? What’s your age ?
There’s many a fine student at many of our flagships, secondary schools, and private schools.
Many a successful person will come from U of Arkansas, U of Oregon, Western Michigan, Hofstra, Butler University, or Allegheny College.
BU is not going to happen I’m afraid. Never hurts to try if you have time and money but that’s over your range. Syracuse would be, perhaps, a similar school that you might have a shot at reach wise.
