SAT Averages at Boston University

Could someone tell me what the SAT score range for Boston University is like? I'm trying to get a ballpark figure to see how much work I need to put in on my SAT prep. Thanks a lot!

Sure, I can help with that! For Boston University, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students typically falls between 1410 and 1500. This means that 25% of admitted students score below 1410, and another 25% score above 1500. The university is pretty selective, so you'll want to aim for a score in this range to maximize your chances of admission.

However, consider that while standardized test scores are important, they're just one piece of your application. Boston University conducts a holistic review of your application which includes your grades, rigor of your high school coursework, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. Strive to deliver your best on all these fronts.

And of course, depending on what tier of school you're aiming for, achieving a score at the higher end of this range could be more beneficial. Good luck with your test prep and application!
