Early decision to BU questions
Answered

Hi, I'm a senior thinking about applying early decision to Boston University. I have a 3.96 unweighted GPA, got 1360 on the SAT, and have medium-strength extracurriculars. I'm wondering if I should even bother applying, since I've heard that so many people apply ED. Also, I'm not sure if I should apply test-optional or not. According to CollegeVine, I should submit my SAT but I'm not sure since it's below average for the school. Anyway, there are only two days left, so any advice helps, thank you!

I think you should probably go for test-optional, but all I can say is follow your mind and go with what you think best suits or represents you as a student. That's all I can tell you now.
