Asked by marieMy GPA is 3.0, which isn't very good and could've been better. For my SAT i got a 600 in math , 610 in reading, & a 600 in writing. I have also taken the time to write an amazing essay. I have been involved with various organizations throughout all my high school carreer such as DECA, Habitat for Humanity, Students Against Destructive Decisions, Bussiness Professionals of America, and Spanish Club. I have also served about 200 hours of voulunteer work. Despite my low GPA what are my chances of getting into Boston University? and if needed do i need to get my SAT scores higher , or are the reletively good enough?

Realistically, your chances of getting in aren't great -- but they aren't zero either. Everyone should apply to at least one school that is a reach. If you really want BU -- make sure that your essay really is amazing (let some well educated people who m you trust look at it). Princeton Review has a lot of statistics about admitted students at a large number of universities. You can compare your states to the ones they have posted. The average GPA at Boston University is 3.46. Your SAT scores are almost exactly at the 25th percentile of admitted applicants. You need a backup plan. You should be able to get into some decent universities. Princeton Review also has a tool where you tell it about your background and interests and it spits out a number of schools that are good fits for you. Good luck.
