<p>Your EC’s, GPA and classes are really good but just to be sure, I would retake the SAT’s if I were you and try to get a 1900+. and also because you’re applying RD, you have a good amount of time.
Also I hope you know that if you take the SAT’s you have to take the SAT two’s. I forgot how many and which ones but it depends on which school you’re applying to.
Good luck, I’m applying to BU as well :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice.</p>

<p>You have a good course load and extracurriculars for BU. You should definitely try to raise your SAT score though. You are an URM so that will definitely help you out. Chance me back? </p>
