First off
There is absolutely no need to give the nah subject test again
Nobody is going to pick someone over you because they scored 800 and you scored 790.

Boston university is crazy expensive and unfortunately unless you win a prestigious scholarship it is out of affordability. It is one of the most expensive schools in the usa.

I would strongly recommend you take a look at other options as well and not rest on BU specifically

As I fellow Indian ik grades drop in 11 th But they happen to be an imp part of applications so you will have to mention it regardless of a drop (of there is one)

Your profile is good and you should make it to some respectable institutes!
Best of luck!
