BH3 is non polar because the bond angles are all 120 degrees and cancel out. I know this one was tricky!

think of it this way, BH3 is trigonal planar. The "B" atom is surrounded by 3 "H" atoms. all these H atoms are partially positive. Because if that, the outer part of the molecule is uniformly positive. so another atom "looking at" BH3 would "see" the same charge from all sides of the molecule. it works in the same way for CCL4 and CH4 and other symmetric molecules.
