Hi…I’m trying to decide if I should apply to Boston University CAS Early Decision II. I don’t know if I have a very good chance or not, but I’m hopeful. I know I’m not the brightest Asian out there, but I really love BU. If all else fails, maybe Northeastern? I’m pretty sure I can get into UMASS-Amherst

Take one honors class (Chamber Singers) and the rest were Level ones and two (Advance + Competitive).

Oh, and if I applied ED to CAS and did not get in, would they put me in CGS?
