*Boston University Class Of 2016: Regular Decision Thread*

<p>Accepted into college of engineering! Surprisingly good fin. aid offer but no merit aid =( ah well. I don’t think I’ll attend if only because the aid isn’t quite enough (when you factor in the loan amounts) D: but hopefully I’ll help someone get off the waitlist =D</p>

<p>GPA (out of 4): 3.86ish UW
SAT: 2290
7 AP classes</p>

<p>Very excited that I was given this opportunity, it’s truly an amazing university in an equally amazing city! Congratulations to everyone who was accepted!!</p>

<p>No merit aid, unfortunately, but still glad to be accepted :)</p>

<p>My daughter was accepted into BU’s Sargent College for Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences! </p>

<p>SAT’s 2130, M720 CR640 W770
SAT II math 680 Spanish 580,
rank 14/300,
GPA 3.8 unweighted, 4.5 weighted
lots of honors and AP’s
Drama and lots of community service, as well as 2 jobs</p>

<p>Glad she got in, but wish she’d gotten some merit money. She applied for MLK and Trustee. We were hoping for something, if not those.</p>

<p>Does anyone know anything about the Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences program? Might other programs merit more scholarships, since it seems to be such a specialized program with a small number of students?</p>

<p>Congrats to those who got accepted!</p>

<p>ACCEPTED.</p>

<p>3.2 unweighted GPA, 2200 SAT, 31 ACT
4 AP’s, 13 honors
Couple hundred hours of community service, 15 months total of employment at about 20-35 hours a week</p>

<p>I’d been rejected from UCSD, UCD, UCLA, U Chicago, and GWU so far - got wait-listed at the University of Washington, my #1 choice - so this is great. It’s my first real acceptance outside of my safety (CU Boulder).</p>

<p>I was accepted to SMG and the Honors College if anyone has any questions. No aid as far as I can tell, but I didn’t apply for any.</p>

<p>ACCEPTED TO COLLEGE OF GENERAL SCIENCES!!! I didn’t get a good financial package so I am probably not going there, but I am still ridiculously happy! Congrats to everyone else!!! There were only 3,900 people accepted out of 45,000, so congrats to everyone who got in and good luck to those who were deferred.</p>

<p>^no there are probably going to be 3,900 attending. If there were only 3,900 accepted, that would be in IVY range. Much more are accepted but around 3,900 attend.</p>

<p>ACCEPTED TO CAS!!!</p>

i got a little bit of money from the FAFSA, but BU is INSANE if they think i’m paying 50k a year when RPI offered me 25K. i made an appointment with someone at the financial aid office so hopefully things will work out. if not, so be it.

Rejected: U Chicago, UNC-Chapel Hill, BC
Waitlisted: Northeastern

my common app essay was solid (it was about my trip to auschwitz) and my supplemental essay i thought was really strong and creative. my recs were amazing. all in all i’m really happy to get in; i applied to 3 schools in the boston area and was nervous when BC rejected me and northeastern waitlisted me so i’m excited. </p>

<p>to all who did not get accepted:
i feel your pain: i got rejected from BC, UNC, and U Chicago (my DREAM school) yesterday, and waitlisted at northeastern. keep in mind that this is only one school and it’s not the end of the world. you can have a great college experience with lots of fun and learning even if it’s not at your dream school (if it’s BU…or U Chicago like me). chins up everyone :)</p>
