“BU likes decent SAT andAug 06 2005Engineering Department
BU likes decent SAT and GPA's. I got a full ride with a 1230 (700M) (4.2 GPA) (1/210), but thats b/c i come from a poor community with bad english prep. Ive over that now, but Im here b.c of my ec's. If you sell yourself good enough it shouldnt be a problem.

“You either need to get goodJul 05 2005Communications
You either need to get good grades and good SAT scores, unless you're really wealthy, in which case you can be dumb as a stack of phone books and still get an acceptance letter. This sounds a little harsh, but I've met people who have gotten SAT scores WAY below BU's average and have gotten in (this people are generally put into the College of General Studies [CGS] or "Crayons, Glue and Scissors" as it's known around campus.)
