<p>I wouldn’t call it a safety. It’s a strong match, but because BU is such a strong nationally known school you never know.</p>

<p>Definitely not a safety, I’ve seen 2100s get rejected :o Also since engineering is one of the better schools at BU.</p>

<p>I’d call it a strong match as LilyEmery said though.</p>

<p>There is no such thing as a safety anymore, unless the school has guaranteed admissions with certain stats. Your stats suggest a solid match at BU, but it is a crapshoot, just like many other schools.</p>
