I wrote a really inspirational essay about how I decided to become an engineer. I wasn't exceptional at grades, but I showed a love for what I do and I think that made an impact on my admission. I didn't split my time amongst a lot of clubs, but instead focused on two clubs that pertained to what I would do in the future.

Basically, I have high GPA,I am extremely active person, I am involved in various extracurricular activities, I am creative and well-rounded student. I like writing essays, but I have very low ACT/SAT scores. Is it going to affect negatively my admission into BU?

I thought and still think they have a great journalism program. Little did I know that the rest of the university (which is quite large) would be filled with apethetic, unmotivated and quite frankly idiotic, spoled rich kids. Totally unenlightened and stupid student body who obviously were admitted because their parents could pay in full. Sad but true. If you want a truly intellectual, academic environment, please - look elsewhere!!!

“I coasted through highschool with a 3Feb 05 2010Education
I coasted through highschool with a 3.2 and a 33 ACT, but I also did many mission trips and am an eagle scout, so the admissions dept. likes both academics AND extracurriculars. I recommend an excellent essay and good community service. And MAKE SURE you want to go to a northern school in a city. In the winter it barely is above freezing, and there is rarely a moment of peace and quiet as we're in an urban area.
