As per their CDS, standardized test scores are “Considered” - which is a lower rank than “Important” and “Very Important”. In other words, not a determining factor.
GPA is “Very Important” - so your D is well positioned.
Yes, definitely! Hope it works out for her. Good luck.
Based on past dates, best guess: March 26th.
Please remember to withdraw your applications if you no longer considering a college, as a courtesy to those left. It’s important they know their yield.

Your SAT is at the mid-range for BU. GPA looks competitive too.
