<p>Hey guys, while waiting like everyone else, I decided to make this. Mind chancing me and giving me an estimate for merit aid potential? I already looked at the probability chart BU has on their site, but since our school doesn’t rank, it was a bit confusing.</p>

<p>Teacher Rec: One should be decent to pretty good (math), the other should be average to decent (english).</p>
<p>Essays: OK only, rushed the supplement essay.</p>
<p>My Common App Essay was about my experience in school in China. I talked about how it made me more independent. </p>
<p>I also wrote a short paragraph noting that I had a reaaaally big drop in my GPA sophmore year (2.8 GPA) because after I came back from China, I wasn’t really prepared to come back up to the standard of work that my home high school had. But in junior year, I really brought it up with straight A’s (and 1 B)</p>
<p>:] thanks you guys</p>
