<p>Other than a solid academic profile you need more than anything to convince the adcoms that you’re actually interested in BU. The culture here is in fact fairly different than at any of the other Boston schools and you need to signal some awareness of that and why you are interested in going here as opposed to like, Northeastern, if you want to maximize your chances.</p>

<p>Lots and lots of people apply just because the school is in Boston, but so are a lot of other schools. Signal you’ve picked up on what is different about BU and your chances of admission are going to be very high.</p>
