Chance Me Please

Hi everyone. I was just wondering what my chances were for BU. I know my SATS are pretty low, but I’m taking them again in October in hopes of a score around 1900-2000. Any input is appreciated.

I go to a private high school, and have received all A’s and B’s in the classes I have taken throughout high school. I have maintained a job all four years of high school during the summer at a child care center, in which I work for more than 40 hours per week.

Your scores are a bit low, but I assume you're Hispanic (URM) which is to your advantage.
