<p>7 year program is really hard (pretty much everywhere). Not to be a downer, but they take only a couple kids each year, many of whom are those who get into ivies and take up spaces… I would say, definitely try, but it is always a reach for anyone. I think your stats make you a good competitive applicant, but its really anyone’s game.</p>

<p>agreed with theman777. all of your scores in within the BU applicant range, but the 7 year program ranks near with the harvard program. each year students that get in range in 15-25. yea your scores may bring you above the middle fifty, but its still gonna be a reach.</p>

<p>They typically receive around 600 applicants, interview 100-150, and take 50-ish, with a final class of approximately 25-30. (Current pool of SMED I’s is 25 people)</p>
