<p>If applying early gives me priority consideration for the university scholarship, and my chances are pretty good (1410+4.0 UW), the should I do it for the sake of the money?? If i apply RD, then i probably won’t get the scholarship, seeing as that i miss the SAT average by 30 pts. Please help!!!</p>
<p>Yes, BU is my first choice, and i can cover for 3/4 of the tuition.</p>
<p>Are you saying that the average now for the half tuition scholarship is 1440? I still think you have a shot at it. I would defintely call the finanace office and ask if the % of kids offered merit aid differs between RD & ED. Also, with the GPA I believe they take into account the intensity of your HS grading system.
Rememeber if that is the avaerage then half the kids are below that so again I think your chances are very good.</p>
