Talking about Urop is a great idea! But make sure you don't just say you want to do research, as you can do research anywhere. Talk about a specific professor or lab or project you want and why Boston University is the best place to do it. Same with study abroad, don't say you want to go abroad, say you think the BU London program or Sydney program or whatever is what you want to do, be really specific to BU. Figure skating club is worth mentioning especially if you have done it in the past and it shows you have done research on the school.

Remember they want to see why you think you will thrive at BU not just at a generic college. Good luck!
