Don't take Math I - Take Math II - TRUST me on this, it'll be way easier to get a good score because of the curve

As far as I know, I thought that schools didn't even take MathIC any more. I thought mathIIC was required if you wanted to use it! But in any case, your gpa is a tad low. Your SATI is right at or just below the average. BU should be a medium reach to slight match for you. Make sure you show interest, get those SATII scores up, and write a killer essay. BU does accept around 50% anyhow and since you're a male, it should be somewhat easier. Good luck!

Alectricity - the SAT score is definitely above average. Most people I meet have a score below 1900. It is definitely an acceptable score... I say its a match personally.
