Can i get into uconn or Boston U. with these creds.?

UConn - no problem, you have great credentials as far as extra extracurriculars etc. GPA is pretty good, especially for your cles, but BU is a really hard school to get into, and you will probably need to raise your SAT scores to have a better chance. I wouldn't say that you're shooting out of your league, though. you're on a great track considering you're a junior. you might want to look into taking some SAT IIs if you haven't already, because some colleges want them (BU can't make up their mind, sometimes they strongly recommend you take them, other years they aren't required) Get in and talk to your guidance counselor (you didn't say how big your school is) and quickly go over what you're interested in and what you should do to stay on that path. guidance will be swamped with college apps for seniors, so you're going to want to go in ASAP and only bother them for a few min. At least you'll have a more accurate vision of where you are and where you should go, and you should develop a better relationship with your guidance counselor (who will have to write you a recommendation for college). While you are there, ask if your school has a program called Naviance, which shows the scores and GPAs of students who applied to certain colleges. It's a better indicator because it shows just the stats for your school. good luck :)
