<p>I know Boston University is a big reach and any input on my chances, possible imrovements, or other recommended schools (major in business) would be appreciated.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say a big reach, but raise those scores just a little bit.</p>

3

<p>id say your in CGS for sure… but if you want some merit/ grant money… those scores need to go up a bit… like 50 to 80 pts</p>

4

<p>I see that you said i could get into the general studies…should i apply to the management school although my chances are lower to get in, and then if i cant get in there i could then be accepted to general studies(does it work like that?)…or should i apply to general studies, and then transfer into management if i do well?</p>

5

<p>you can apply to COM and get rejected, but accepted to CGS.</p>

6

<p>I’m not 100% sure on this, but I don’t think you actually apply to CGS.</p>

7

<p>Yes, you can apply directly to CGS.</p>

8

<p>Yes skinnyfists is right… you can apply directly to CGS and quite a few ppl actually do… but to the OP… apply to SMG ( School of Management)… and see what happens , if you get into CGS… then you just transfer your junior year… although you may have to take a couple of classes durin the summer if that were the case… but no need to worry bout that now… just apply to SMG and goodluck</p>

9

<p>Actually KG, that should read quite FEW people actually do. I’m applying ED to CGS which is VERY rare. I think the dean told me something like 7% apply directly to CGS?!?</p>
