<p>Good SAT scores. BUT…</p>

<p>Your GPA seems VERY low for BU. I also think your extracurriculars are good but there is only 3!</p>

3

<p>I think it will depend on how you rank compared to others in your classes. Your SAT is great, and if you have good grades compared to others in your classes, with a hard grading system, then I think you’ve got a good shot.</p>

4

<p>^Agree that rank will be a big deal.</p>

<p>Regardless, you still have a good shot, if anything, they’ll defer you to CGS.</p>

5

<p>The 2140 will help you out, especially your high verbal/writing scores for your intended major. Grades aren’t superb, but you clearly have potential and you’ve taken challenging courses. The 750 lit is extremely impressive, too – even the most brilliant of english students I know couldn’t get that high. </p>

<p>I’d say you’re in.</p>
