<p>your scores are a little bit on the lower side for BU..but u still have time to raise those..u might want to look into CGS at BU if you are really set on wanting to go there..</p>

<p>also applying ED will def help your chances</p>

<p>also for me... i think the atmosphere is amazing at BU... the difference from where im at now is startling... i live in a suburb of Cleveland...and wow... everything is much quicker in boston... the pace taht is.... also... ppl on the average seem to be more vibrant and ambitious... it really is an amazing place be for a college kid.... i cant wait</p>

<p>Good luck and do what you can to bring up your SAT or ACT.
Its an urban campus and people either want that or prefer to be in a walled in bucolic rural or suburban setting. If you look under archives there are links to additional pix. I'll see if I can bump them up for you. It is along the river and Boston is a true college town.</p>

<p>okay thanks i will definitly try to bring those scores up. what is the average of the sat and act for students accepted to boston university? also, i just got back the results for my psych ap exam and i got a 4 .. do you all think i should include that in my application?</p>
