That ACT is a little low, but the rest of your profile looks solid. I’d suggest studying for a retake.

I’ll have to agree with @KingBibi

However, BU’s ACT average is 29 so you’re still within reach. It will affect you, but I’m not sure it’ll be the factor to decide between your acceptance or rejection. If you can, schedule a retake.

Did you choose the CGS option? If not BU is a reach.

I wouldn’t worry about the 28 ACT. I got in w a 28 ACT.

^ I agree. I got in with a 29 ACT and a significantly lower GPA, so your high GPA should makeup for the slightly lower ACT score.

@lolog123 @Uni1234 could you guys send me your admissions profile? I’d really appreciate it!

Hey guys,

I’m an international student studying in a british school. What are my chances of getting into BU with these grades?

GCSE GPA: 3.4
A Level predicted grades: A A B ( so 3.7/3.8 gpa)
I sat my SAT (old) last year and was a big mistake not doing it again as I had a low score of 1550/2400

Thanks
