<p>Your EC’s, volunteer work, and senior classes are great- they show your interest. Keep that up.</p>

<p>Don’t listen to people on CC who tell you that you need a 2350 to get into college. Your SAT scores are right in the 25-75% range, and your ACT is near the 60-65% range, which is great.</p>

<p>GPA is pretty good, try to get it up senior year so you can get merit aid from BU. </p>

<p>Your chances look pretty good to me. :)</p>

<p>I think that you have a good shot at getting in, but I would definitely try to boost either your SATs or GPA a bit senior year to get a better merit package! Your finaid will correlate with both your need and your grades/etc, so it’s pretty important.</p>

<p>i don’t think you’ll get a merit package but will get in</p>
