<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I’d say you have a great shot if you apply ED, and regular decision too.</p>

<p>I have very similar stats to you - 1 gpa point lower, but 100 points higher on the SAT, and I’ve been told that my chance at getting into BU is great.</p>

<p>Meaning, I think you have a great shot at getting BU as well.</p>

<p>Your subject tests are also very high, which is impressive. I’ve read they use them more so for placement, but in your event they will definitely help.</p>

<p>The ONLY thing I see as a weak point on your application are your ECS; maybe. They all seem great and cool, but I don’t see any one that really stands out.</p>

<p>However, judging by your great stats I think BU is a great option, and unless something odd happens, you should get in :D</p>

<p>Honestly I think that if you don’t get in it won’t be because of anything on your part.</p>
