<p>You’re more than qualified for BU, in my opinion. The only thing that might hold you back is your SAT scores at this point, but you still have half a year+ to improve those.</p>

<p>You might consider taking the ACT, instead. I think it’s an easier test. The only trick is that they give you less time. If you think that’s something you might excel in, then look for one in your area. My first (and only) SAT score was 1980. My ACT (superscored) was 35, which is roughly equivalent to like a 2340 on the SAT. </p>

<p>Either way, I think you should take another standardized test, like you said.</p>

<p>Definitely qualified applicant. But if you’d like to set your acceptance in stone then you have to raise the SAT a little like cj02 said.</p>
