Hey everyone… if you could give me your opinion, I would greatly appreciate it!

Alright, so I applied to BU as a transfer student for music education. I went for my audition and was accepted into the music program on the spot! Now I’m waiting to hear back from the university itself. I’m getting nervous and wanted to know what you think my chances are…

High School GPA: 3.473 unweighted
Overall College GPA: 3.479
Major GPA: 3.529
SAT: 1770 (I’m not a good test taker )

I have a good amount of extracurriculars. I participated in varsity sports all 4 years of HS, was in Marching/Concert/Jazz Band, was a Drum Major, 1st chair of my university wind ensemble, I’m in a community band, I was accepted into a music festival participant at Juilliard, placed in top spots in my state for Track and Field, volunteer with Special Olympics…and so on. Those are just a few examples.

I also wrote (what I think was) a very beautiful essay. I wrote about my autistic twin battling her inability to speak, which is why I want to become a teacher. What do you think my chances are?
