No appeal for BU?

I really don’t think it matters if the school is public or private. I got rejected from University of Pittsburgh which was a safety school for me and that’s public, because of my math SAT score, and ended up getting accepted after I did a whole appeal. Unless they say they have a strict no appeal policy, you can appeal anywhere you want. For BU, if your stats are good and you’re on waitlist, they’re prob just testing you to see how interested you are because people these days apply to 10 schools and they don’t know if they’re one you’re actually interested in going to. If you’re rejected, I don’t know how much time you’ll have to get it all together in 1 month. Pitt had rolling admission so I had lots of time to retake stuff, but obviously that won’t be an issue for anyone to retake SATs and ACTs. Just send an appeal letter to the board of admission, and try to find someone on the admissions committee who will be by your side and help you along (if they are willing)–that’s what I did for Pitt. Inform them of your interest if you want to go there and any awards you’ve won, 2nd semester grades when they come in, or even send them like a really good essay you’ve written in school that you got an A on.
