<p>BU pretty much lets everyone ranked 1 or 2 in, so you're fine.</p>

3

<p>SAT scores a little low for BU but your classes are challenging and your overall profile and GPA are decent so I agree you will probably get in despite the SATs. It also may depend on which BU College you are apply to for example CAS vs. SMG.</p>

4

<p>which of the BU colleges is the easiest to get into? I want to major in biology or biochemistry</p>

5

<p>Apply to CAS, it holds the biology department and you should be accepted.</p>

<p>Hey Skinnyfists, Am I mixing you up or were you the poster trying to transfer into BU? If so, what happened? Where are you now?</p>

7

<p>I was waitlisted this year, so I'm attending Temple University in the honors program and am going to try to transfer for my sophomore year (I'll also be applying to northeastern). I'm completely obsessed with BU and know/visit people who are currently attending.</p>

8

<p>When do you need to apply for such a transfer? Good luck to you.</p>

<p>Deadline is April 1st, but I'll do my application over christmas break. As long as I can get about a 3.3 this semester, I should be okay. I was 11th in my class with a 1270 SAT in high school, plus I was waitlisted and I just retook the SAT.</p>

10

<p>You should have gotten in. We will all give you an A for effort. I hope BU lives up to your obsession. LOL Keep us posted.</p>

11

<p>I was 8 in my class and got a 1200 on my SATs (old SATs), and got into COM. I'm not an admissions counselor, but I would think that since you are 1 or 2, and BU isn't a highly competitive ivy league school, you are a shoo-in. What program are you applying to?</p>
