<p>What program did you apply to? I applied to CAS for International Relations. If they offer me CGS, I would tend to go to CGS since BU is my first choice.</p>
<p>I honestly think that your race will help you with being accepted. I am asian with low scores, so that hurts me even more. Especially the fact that you’re a legacy…in the BU rejection letter they say something about “we pay special attention to those who’s parents went to BU” so legacy is obvi an important aspect to them. This will work to your advantage and take away some attention from you score. No guarantees though bc all schools really do care about scores. Ik this cause I was just rejected from a school cause of low SAT score</p>
