Chance of me getting into Boston University?

I think you are on the bubble, probably just below the bubble actually. And it isnt good that you had to have someone else write your essay!\n\nIf you get accepted, you are going to be in class with mostly students who are much better academically than you - about 30% of BU students scored over 700 on their SATs and had HS GPAs more like 3.6 or 3.7. And they wrote their own essays without help. So, for the next four years you will have to compete against them. \n\nWhy dont you go for a college where the students are more on your own level and the faculty won't shake their heads and wonder how you got in! I'm not being mean - I'm thinking about how you can choose a college that is really the right one for you!

Obviously, Harvard is THE best in Boston, but I think you were just asking among the three listed.  Actually, I think either Boston College OR Boston University are great schools.  I'd definitely choose one of those over Northeastern.  They have a national reputation, while Northeastern is mostly regional. I used to live in Mass, and heard about all three, but since leaving the region, no one ever thinks about Northeastern, while BC and BU are still pretty well regarded. I think BU is probably a little better respected nationally, but BC is also quite highly regarded, and would not be a bad choice by any means.\n\nBeyond that, the choice may depend on personal factors, such as which one has a better program in the area you want to study. Or if you prefer a Catholic school like BC, rather than a secular one like BU. Or if the size of the school matters to you.\n\nBest of luck to you.

It's okay, not outstanding or anything.. 49% of students had a GPA of 3.75 or higher in high school. But your SAT scores and other factors have something to do with it also. Apply. If you get in, great. If not, at least you know. It's worse to not apply and keep wondering if they would have accepted you. Just do it! And you have time to improve that. :)

I am an alumnus of CAU.  It's not going to be extremely hard to get into CAU (not to mistaken for easy because by no means is it easy).  If you seem like the average high school student with some extra curricular activities and a half descent SAT or ACT score, you should be ok.  I would aim for a B- (2.66 and above) average and a score in the 960-1050 SAT and 18-22 ACT score range.  With that range, I got into CAU, Hampton University, Johnson C. Smith University and Florida A&M University (the only schools I applied to).  \n\nDo not wait until the last minute to apply to any school.  Right now is a great time to collect the applications and know their requirements and which essays you will have to write.  The best way to know when to send off the application is to check the cut off date.  I would send them off around Thanksgiving and at the latest Christmas so that the second half of your senior year is dedicated to waiting for the letters to roll in instead of stressing over deadlines.\n\nYou're going to have at least 2 issues with any HBCU's financial aid office (including CAU)- slow and unorganized.  Whatever you do, fill out whatever you need early.  And if you're having any complications, visit and call often.  Make sure they know who you are from 20 paces.  But I have to stress that these people are under a lot of pressure and it's best if you're nice but firm with them.  They are cursed out almost every semester by students and parents alike.  Just go in with an open mind.\n\nThe most important thing you need to be worried about is if the school is going to nurture your major interest.  I fell in love with North Carolina A&T but their Journalism department was a wing of their English department when I visited WAY back in '99.  Plus, the school's major focus is toward science and technology.  At CAU, their Mass Media Arts department is always one of the top three majors at the University.  CAU's interest was my interest and that's why I chose CAU.  It's probably the best decision I ever made.  That should be your main concern.  Everything else will fall into place.\n\nGo Panthers!

DEFINITELY do apply. I am actually a freshman at MIT and we share some of the qualifications, namely the "low" SAT scores. Your SAT scores arent necessarily a deal-breaker; I got a 680 on the SAT I Math section (although I got much higher on the Math Level 2SAT IIs). They definitely do like to see well-rounded people. Just work on your essays, and dont "try" to make them into something you think an admissions officer would like to read. Also, a pretty good indication of whether you get in is if you've met the basic requirements, namely :\ncalculus (pretty important, but not necessarily required)\nphysics\nchemistry\nand biology.\nagain, none of those subjects are necessarily required- I had taken everything but physics. Good luck!

Definitely a 4.0, but you have to offer much more then good grades on your transcript (extra curricular activities, sports, leadership... anything that really stands out). They're looking for people with a wide range of talents. Its sad, but its true if your a women you'll have a better chance, and if your ethnographic. Harvard is one of the absolute most prestigious university's to get into... but there are plenty other well respected colleges that aren't as competitive to get admission.

Yes, about, if not, as difficult as getting into West Point. Statistically speaking, your chances at getting into Harvard or MIT is greater than or equal, to getting accepted to the US Naval Academy.

i guess you got the equivalent of a 1400 on the version of the SAT I took...you probably have a good chance, just keep in mind soooo many try to enter the prestigious colleges/universities.  find a way to make yourself stand out from the crowd

You should have a pretty decent chance, assuming your SAT/ACT scores are good and you've taken some AP/IB classes.\n\nThat said, showing interest in a school is great but you should never act like that college is your only option; colleges don't like to admit people they perceive as desperate.  Mailing list sign-ups count for almost nothing (if I could get accepted for everybody's mailing list that I'm on, I could probably attend over half the universities and colleges in America) and really, interviews are the only concrete way to show significant interest (and they also can gauge your personality and interests).

1. Prepare early and apply to meet the first deadlines.  Download the application packages at some of the b-school websites. Take a look at the admission essay questions. You'll need to do well in this area to distinguish yourself from others especially if you are weak in any other areas.\n\n2. Score will on the standardized test (GMAT).  For top b-schools, you want scores above 650.  Take a Kaplan or Princeton Review class if it'll help.\n\n3. A seperate masters degree will only if it fits well with your career plans.  Personally, I would devote the 2 years on getting better job experience.  This means trying to get a promotion, working at a well respected firm, accepting projects that would develop your experience and skills.\n\n4. I would also talk to as many current students and MBA graduates from the schools you're interested as possible. In your application or essay, you can mention that you've talked to John Doe (Class of 199X) of their business school, it shows your sincere interest in their school. Business is about your network and b-school is no different. The more people you know from these top schools that are willing to speak positively for you, the better your chances of getting in. I would even write to the admissions officers.\n\n5. Keep current with b-school trends. Understand what kind of students they are looking for. Business Week is a good source. Also check out princeton review, kaplan, wetfeet.com, and vault.com.\n\nGood luck!

the first question, you honestly shouldn't have any problems with.  why do you want get admission?  because you want to be a marine engineer.  give your an honest, simple, and heartfelt reason as to why you feel like this place is the best place for you to be and why you even picked that as a career option.\n\nas for the rest....\n\ni'm a english major.  can't help you there.

Go to the local British Centre.They not only provide all the information about higher education in GB,they also conduct IELTS which you may require in order to be eligible for admission.
