Hi, got word the other day that I am a presidential scholarship finalist for Boston College. Anybody else out there?
Was accepted to honors, but didn’t hear about scholarship. How were you notified?
@fivestarlc hi there. I have also been as a finalist for the presidential scholarship. Are you visiting the campus for interviews early Feb?
@Extra0dinary yes I am! I just got the second packet in the mail with more details. any idea what to expect?
Can you guys tell a little about your self, I’m ‘dying’ to know what they are looking for… GPA, test scores, extra-curriculars etc.
Thanks!

Look at the BC factbook. It lists the middle 50% of incoming freshman SAT scores.
Then spend a few hours reading through the “decision” threads from past years on this BC section of CC. You will see the academic and EC profiles of many students who were accepted, rejected, waitlisted, and deferred.
@Rissismom they really want to know that you’re interested in social justice and community service, and at the top of your class in academics and test scores
My nephew found out today that he was chosen for the scholarship. Very exciting. Hope the rest of you got/get good news.
For those who have received the Presidential Scholarship, can you please provide details of your GPA and
ACT/SAT scores? My son will be applying to BC as a business major in the Fall of 2016 (he’s also a legacy). He’s wondering if he might potentially be considered for this honor. Thank you and Congratulations!
