Hey, I'm getting ready to take the SAT and BU is my dream school. Does anyone know the typical SAT range accepted there? I want to have a goal in mind when I take it.
Certainly, it's good to have a target in mind! According to the most recent data available, the middle 50% SAT range for admitted students at Boston University is between 1340 and 1510. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1340, and 25% scored above 1510.
It's important to remember, though, that these are just averages. Students below and above these scores can and do get accepted. Also, your SAT score is one aspect of your application; Boston University reviews applications holistically, so your academic record, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation are also crucial parts of your application.
When preparing for the SAT, consider using official practice tests and question banks to familiarize yourself with the format and types of questions you'll see. Also, make sure to review concepts and skills that you find challenging. Good luck with your test preparation!
