<p>Essay- Table
I will write about a “Table”.How the table is important to me: In Africa my family and I were in a war and so we hide underneath the table from the bombs. Now, since I am in the USA for many years, don’t know exact number… but anyways, now my parents uses it to talk about bills and how will survive for next day. </p>

<p>So the essay will be a contrast of the use of a table in two different countries and two different situations.</p>

<p>That is a very creative essay. BU can be genorous to minorites (so they say), but no one on this forum is a admissions officer. However I wish you the best of luck!!!</p>

3

<p>i think you have a pretty good chance. the overseas red cross volunteering is cool. are you gonna try to relate that with your table essay? (obviously i don’t know much about the essay, but if it fits, i think it might be a cool idea, but obviously don’t stretch it and bs it in order to make it work) good luck!</p>

<p>i don’t think it will kill you. it’ll prob hurt you some though</p>

9

<p>Considering the fact that you’re an URM, I think they’ll more lenient about the GPA. Besides, your test scores are fine, and you have a unique essay topic. : )</p>

10

<p>Do we need to take SATII?</p>

11

<p>If you submit your SAT scores, then you have to submit your 2 SAT IIs scores.</p>

<p>If you submit your ACT, then no.</p>

12

<p>Can I give my SAT score then give the SATII later or does it just hurt my chances?
I will be taking it in JAN 24</p>
