<p>Latest PSAT scores: Critical Reading 64, Mathematics 46, Writing Skills 57, Overall 167
You can add a zero to the score (ex. 167 -> 1670) to see approximate SAT scaled score.</p>
<p>BU sounds good - if it has everything you want except being a little farther from home I would at least add it to your list. It is a good school, and you can always take the train home. The only thing is that BU is a fairly significant reach for you right now. Your SAT scores need to increase ~200 points in order to be competitive for BU (at least IMHO). You may want to look into SAT prep classes, or prepping on your own if that is not an option for you. </p>
