[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what were your expectations with this list? It is chock full of reaches. Your student will be fine, but may not have many choices.

[b]A 1490 is a great SAT, but unfortunately it isn’t helping the application for most schools on your list.[/b]

Also, when did he apply to Pitt? That is an “apply in August” school. [/quote]

+1. A little low for UVA. 75Th percentile had a 1510. But median a 1470.[/quote]

So half of the students have lower SAT scores that the applicant.   I don’t know what people are thinking.  He will get into half of these schools.

This is unrelated to OP.   BU has a College of General Studies.   There is no minimum requirements.   If after two years in the program the student has at least a 2.0 GPA and 60 credits they can complete the Bachelor’s in their chosen major.

The OP can get into BU on his high scores but it will depend on major and how many applicants in a given year.    He’ll do ok, OP.  Plenty of good options on his list.   [/quote]
Enrolled student score ranges are percentiles, not acceptance rates.[/quote]
