I think you have a decent shot at Wellesley, SATs may be a little low, but overall, a pretty good shot for ED.

BU is probably a safety for you - since you haven't had your SATII scores back, i cannot give you the best depiction - probably a sure fire safety if they are both 650+.

Wellesley may be a stretch, but it is possible. I know two girls from my high school who had sub-1800 SAT scores. Both of them got in, and are students there now.

As for BU, you will be accepted.
