Do I have what it takes to get into a competitive college?

Do well on your SATs. According to collegeboard, boston university accepts a composite score between 1760- and up. Try to stack up on as many APs you can next year to show that you are challenging yourself as you move from your sopre year to junior year. Try taking leadership positions, such as becomming the president of Student Government, etc. Also, become close to teachers that know you well so that they can write superb teacher evaluations when you apply to college. Basically, colleges look to see if you're a well rounded student.
