First, I wouldn’t suggest posting your family income in this forum. As far as your statistics, your GPA and SAT’s seem low compared to the mid 50% of the typical BU student, even when you consider the weighted GPA you show. Your non-weighted GPA is your nemisis, so perhaps you are stretched too thin or are taking too many advanced classes.Your activities are varied, and if you publish that research paper in time for college apps, that is good. If you have any leadership areas where you run something big, make sure you highlight that. Your courseload is very high, so that is helpful (but your GPA almost negates the demanding courseload). I would say based on your initial stats, this is a reach school for you, only based on stats I’ve read in these forums of kids that applied but did not get accepted. Perhaps someone else has other insight.
