<p>qwerty it depends on your other scores. if it matches up- send it. if it low compared to your other sat scores or even your grade in bio don’t send it. for example I scored a 690 on the SAT I math and a 660 or 670 (can’t remember) on The sat ii math 2. so I sent that. but my lit score (a 620) didn’t match up with my high English grades so I didn’t send it. if you don’t have a choice to send anything else because that was one of your highest sat ii scores send that. </p>
<p>on the matter of computers- aren’t all colleges becoming mac oriented? they’re better computers in my opinion because they can run both mac os and windows. from wht I’ve seen at BU it looks like there are more macs.</p>
<p>I think Macs are at least considered more popular on college campuses as a whole. They certainly are the “it” laptop to have right now. Still, I have an HP and many of my friends also have Windows. It’s a good mix, even though Macs might be slightly more prevalent. Unless it pertains to your major, get whichever one you’d like.</p>
<p>interestingly on the computers issue- I visited Northeastern this weekend and while touring the science labs I found out that the sciences is run completely on macs.
since the schools attract similar students that answers the question a bit.</p>
<p>Well, I can tell you as a student that overall it will not matter if you have a Windows at BU. I have no idea about Northeastern; however, I actually go to BU with a Windows and am perfectly fine. I’m not sure about Engineering or anything (although I actually have two friends in ENG with Windows), but CAS science classes won’t require a Mac. The Chem intro level (101/102) programs for example work on whatever computer. I’ve never heard any indication of that changing in upper level classes either. In Statistics, the programs were available for Linux, Mac, or Windows…etc. It’s the norm, barring you’re not in a specialized computer field (ie. computer science), where the requirements may potentially be different. </p>
<p>I really think it only matters in specialized graphic design fields and everything. If your major specifically recommends Macs (it would say), then it may affect you. But, the average student will not find incompatibility issues on campus one way or another.</p>
<p>Also, on
International Management
Public Relations
International Relations
Linguistics</p>
<p>I’ll comment across the board. International Relations is one of the most popular major choices at BU. The International Relations program is very good. We have loads of Study Abroad Programs in conjunction with BU too. It makes interning/taking courses abroad very easy and transferable, which affects all of those majors. My IR friends always talk about getting lots of internship opportunities in their email too. As a big school, BU offers many languages which is beneficial to those fields. Also note that those majors fall into different BU colleges. Int. Management would be in SMG. Public Relations would be in COM. IR & Linguistics would be in CAS.</p>
<p>jesshehehaha - i am a sophomore at BU studying PR and, not to brag, but we have the number 1 program in the nation. our professors have done so much and are still active in their field. PM me if you have any more questions</p>
<p>Hi, does anybody know what the average class size and largest class sizes are for freshman lecture/ classes at BU? Also, I heard somewhere that you get mandatory discussion groups or something after lectures in big halls. Is this true?</p>
<p>Laverty, I’ve never been to NYU so I can’t really compare; that being said, BU actually isn’t very spread out at all. It’s all on a couple parallel streets, mainly Commonwealth Avenue. It goes outward a tiny bit if you include the residential South Campus area, but even that is just five minutes away from Comm Ave. I’ve paraphrase one of the answers from before: If you want a picture-esque typical college campus, you will be disappointed by BU. Instead, we sacrifice that idea to have a school right in the midst of a city. But, honestly, I think we are pretty campus-y considering we’re a giant urban university. We definitely still have a campus vibe.You will find places where there is grass, randomly along the campus, and a little bit more along BU Beach and Bay State Rd. On nice days, you will see people laying all over the place outside at those places, outside Marsh, the GSU, etc. During the school day, the part of Comm Ave where BU is located is completely full of BU students commuting from class. You see people you know walking around, even though you might think you wouldn’t with such a large campus. People all go to the dining halls at the same time and everything too. It’s very independent but also a community vibe for sure. I see it as a benefit more than anything, allowing you to also have the city right there too. I love being able to see the Pru when I walk from West, and walk to Fenway in 10 minutes. It’s the perfect mix for me. </p>
<p>Pugsley, I’m not exactly sure the percentage. You could probably find out within your major department for specifics.</p>
<p>Samsung, there are a lot of resource for finding internships. Since we are a huge university, you can’t expect them to come to you. Instead, you do have to take incentive and go find them. Still, the career center and your advisor’s office provide great resources for such things. In addition, some departments will e-mail their majors opportunities that arise. Boston, as a city, has lots of jobs too.</p>
<p>Hi. I’m a prospective freshman for class of 2014.
I got into BU College of Communication and UIUC College of Media this year.
I’m an Asian American who lives out of state.
What worries me is the tuition fee and campus life of BU.
I heard that BU COM is one of the hardest communication school to get into while UIUC has a little bit higher quality and rank than BU’s.
Personally I want to go to BU but I’m worried about if I can get enough financial aid than UIUC.
Also I have to convince my parents of the safeness of campus life at BU since I’m a girl and it is the first time for my parents to send their daughter away.
( My parents and I read from a book that BU’s secureness around the campus is not that good…(?))
Is it really true that BU’s tuition fee is overwhelming to pay??</p>
<p>In my experience, cgs students are not looked down upon at all! im in the cfa and live at west so i live amongst many cgs kids and am friends with them, and no one i know looks down on them for being in cgs. </p>
<p>and im guessing it depends on the professor, but in my experience professors have been great!</p>
