By ‘decent’ I mean around 650 in every section. Is the SAT 2 required? If not, don’t send those scores.

Honestly, if I were you, I wouldn’t spend $60k/year on BU (I checked and it seems that BU does have some aid for internationals, but this seems to be merit aid mostly). It’s just not worth it, IMO. Instead, you could consider Truman State, Univ of Minnesota–Twin Cities, Stony Brook (offers some $$ to ALL internationals), UIUC (selective, but worth looking into), Florida.

There are some LACs that are quite good and offer aid to many intls, despite so-so grades and test scores, like Hendrix.
