<p>i have a 3.5 gpa and could probably raise it too…as for tests im not sure as i start in october with SAT 2s, ACT, SAT… but i will be attending a class for SAT… my PSAT score was 150/240 but i want to get a 175/250 for this year</p>
<p>College Board states that for the 25th percentile of admits to the three schools of your choice, the SAT average was:
1780 - Northestern
1880 - Boston College
1760 - Boston University</p>
<p>^Keep in mind this is the -25th percentile- of admitees, which are mediocre compared to the majority of the applicant pool (in terms of test scores, of course, not as people!). All the same, even if you got a 175/240 on your PSAT, that translates to a 1750 on the SAT, which doesn’t hit even the 25th percentile mark for any of those three schools.</p>
<p>In other words, unless your SAT score is an 1800 or higher (which is a 180/240 on the PSAT), you’ve got a very slim chance of being admitted unless you’re a legacy, recruited athlete, under-represented minority, or come from a very poor background.</p>
<p>You can by all means apply: of the three, your best shot is at BU. But you need to raise your SAT score if you want a serious chance of admission. Also, make sure you apply to a safety school.</p>
