<p>Ok, this won’t be such a great manifesto, but here goes:</p>

<p>Intended major: Political Science (CAS)</p>

<p>If it matters at all i’m an Indonesian-American. </p>

<p>GPA: 3.42 UW. School doesn’t weight, but if I had to estimate my weighted GPA it would probably be around the 3.7-3.8 weighted range.
SAT: 1600/2350
SAT IIs- World History: 800, Math 2: 710
AP: Psych, Art History, English Lang and Comp, Comp Sci, World History, US History- All 5s, (self studied Psych and World History) </p>

<p>I worked hard on my personal statements, my AP English Lang teacher liked it, as did my AP English Lit teacher, and my Honors Chem teacher (who has an MFA in Literature). </p>

AP Physics C
AP English Lit
AP Stats
AP Calc AB/BC

<p>nice stats u gotta raise ur SAT to 1900-2000 range tho cuz average for CAS is 1950</p>

<p>He got a perfect SAT scores (CR+M) and a 750 writing score. I don’t see how in the world that doesn’t fall into the average range considering the fact that his score falls in the upper range of every single school in the country. </p>

<p>Anyways, you’re going to get in, no doubt about it. I actually think that you are going to be one of the few applicants in the BU applicant pool with an 800 on two sections of the SAT (I wish I could say that I would be in that category with you, but…nope…stupid mistakes ftl - 760 M, 770 W), so you should be beyond fine.</p>
