Hey guys! So BU is a bit of a reach for me since my act score is so low.
Here is the breakdown:

  1. C: 22
    E: 24
    M: 18
    R:22
    S: 22
    Writing: 09
  2. C: 25
    E: 29
    M: 26
    R: 23
    S: 21
    Writing: 08
  3. C: 23
    E: 24
    M: 24
    R: 25
    S: 20
    Writing: 10

So I sent my superscore of a 26 to a few schools and I guess it helped but didn’t at at a few schools. I am not sure if i should send them to BU. I need to decide ASAP since the deadline is so close. I think a 1 point increase isn’t that big of a deal but it is to colleges. Also, even though BU doesn’t officially superscore, i did have a huge increase with math. Idk, so what would you do?

BU superscored when I applied a few years ago…you should double check on that. It may have changed, but that sounds weird to me that they would no longer do this.

From what I understand, BU doesn’t officially superstore the ACT, but they consider the highest score of each section. So what does that mean? They don’t recalculate your composite score, but essentially, they do superscore. It is to your advantage to send all your scores.

Damn autocorrect!

Choose the CGS option if you really want to go to BU.

They don’t officially say they “superscore”, but they do. With such a low score, your best shot would be CGS
