Im a sophomore, soon to be junior in high school and I have already visited BU (and northeastern) and I just know BU is the best school for me. Could you tell me my chances or where I stand?

SAT (1600): did not take yet
PSAT (240): FIRST TIME: 160, no studying at all (had no idea what to expect lol)
Freshman year classes:

History A+ (R)
Algebra II B+ (R)
Spanish A (R)

My high school freshman year did not offer any honors level courses in anything besides math and english. This was extremely frustrating, and I transferred to a new school sophomore year. The R is an academic level class, and its the highest available option in everything except Math and English. Although for Math, taking Algebra II as a freshman was rare and barely any kids took honors (my school literally discouraged students from taking honors – so happy I transferred, terrible staff and teaching tactics)
