Hi! I've been looking into Boston University and I'm curious about what kind of SAT scores they usually accept. Can anyone give me an idea of their typical SAT score ranges? I'd really appreciate it.
Hi there! Boston University is a selective institution, so understanding the typical SAT score range for admitted students can be helpful as you consider applying. For the most recent data available (Class of 2027), the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students at Boston University is between 1410 and 1500. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1410, 50% scored between 1410 and 1500, and 25% scored above 1500.
Keep in mind that these figures are not strict cutoffs, and a lower SAT score doesn't automatically disqualify you from being admitted. Boston University reviews applications holistically, taking into account not only test scores but also factors such as GPA, course rigor, essays, extracurricular activities, and letters of recommendation. That being said, aiming for a score in or above this middle 50% range can increase your chances of being considered as a competitive applicant.
Best of luck with your college search and application process!
