<p>If you have the money and time to write supplements, I think you should apply to BU and NYU. For BU, your GPA is good (at the middle 50 percentile of accepted students), its just your test scores that are low (below the 25th percentile). NYU is about the same, but their average GPA is a tad higher. Honestly, I wouldn’t bother applying to Case Western unless you have legacy or some other hook because your GPA and SAT are below the 25th percentile. </p>

<p>Good luck in admissions!</p>
