<p>SAT score is very low (below 25th percentile) but everything else looks good.</p>

<p>1800+ on the SAT or 28+ on the ACT and I think you’ll be fine, otherwise you have a chance but not a great one.</p>

<p>Thank you so much!!! I’m definitely going to work on the ACT Score :)</p>

4

<p>Aim for a 29+ on ACT and don’t worry, you’ll get in.</p>

5

<p>Thanks!!! Do you think SAT scores would hold me back from acceptance RD?</p>

<p>This years accepting class had an average SAT score of around a 2000. BU is getting more competitive every year so I think even an 1800 would put you on the low side. If you get a 29+ on the ACTs or a 1900+ on the SATs then I think you have a much better chance.</p>
