<p>Accepted to CAS, International Relations major!</p>
<p>SAT: 2250
GPA: 3.1 UW, 3.7 W</p>
<p>College decisions have been really unpredictable for me since my GPA is very mediocre compared to everything else in my application. Accepted to Northeastern (Honors program), American, UCSD, and UCSB. Waitlisted at GWU. Rejected from Northwestern, UCLA, UCI, and UCD.</p>
<p>mrvc- thanks for the info about BU, i was accepted and I want to study astronomy and planetary sciences. is BU a good place to attend? = )</p>
<p>anybody knows when the scholarship decision will be released? I’m an intl applicant and was accepted :D</p>
<p>If you received any merit awards, you should see a link to them on your ApplicantLink account, just beneath the “decisions” tab.</p>
<p>Accepted into the School of Education.

2100 SAT/32 ACT</p>
<p>Accepted! But to CGS…
Stats:
GPA 3.92

<p>I’m happy that I got accepted but not sure if CGS is worth it</p>
<p>Accepted!
1920 Sat. 3.7/4.5 weighted. A lot of extracurriculars. My sister goes to BU and she has a decent financial aid package…and I got next to nothing. It was my top choice but I can’t afford to pay $50,000 out of pocket…it doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>Daughter was accepted!! Great feeling but she has decided on Penn State - University Park. Congrats to everyone and to those not accepted - there is a school for everyone !!!</p>
<p>accepted to the SEVEN YEAR DENTAL PROGRAM :D</p>
<p>i heard it is sooo difficult to get into, they select 4 to 5 people out of so many. i feel good</p>
<p>SAT Score: 2250
GPA: 3.87
tons of volunteering hours, found my own club, president of another, shadow doctor, some research</p>
<p>but…no scholarship D: i dont understand why not…i want to go but cuz of the money, I don’t know if i will be able to</p>
<p>@college1216 CGS is definitely worth it you take classes towards your intended major and get the required classes out of the way so you can spend your last 2 years focusing on your major</p>
<p>Got accpeted in COM but my stats are pretty low though…probably my essay/recom letters/interns/ECs work pretty well though…</p>
<p>Cong to all of accepted and those not accepted–will get the offer that school really "fit"you !</p>
<p>Curious if the students who earned merit money applied by the December 1st deadline or the regular RD deadline January 1st? Someone please clarify.</p>
<p>The December 1st deadline was only for certain scholarships that you had to apply for separately (Trustee, Alexander Graham Bell, etc).</p>
<p>If you applied before January 1st you were eligible for other scholarships such as the Presidential and Dean’s.</p>
<p>Well, on the BU website, it says that you had to submit your application by December 1 in order to be given priority consideration for the presidential scholarship. But, I’m sure some people who applied after December 1 still received presidential scholarships.</p>
<p>My son got accepted to the CAS but had no scholarships or grants, just Stafford subsidized and unsubsidized loans. There’s no way he can attend without a grant, and he’s been offered sufficient grants elsewhere. After reading all the posts here about people not getting any need-based aid, I wonder if there might be a problem with the email notification? </p>
<p>Did anyone receive need-based aid that was listed in the email?</p>
<p>I always thought merit money and financial aid were different notifications, and the latter not only came separately but also later.</p>
<p>BU makes it clear that they do not meet student need, through wording that avoids the term.</p>
<p>Example - The official statement via the applicant link on the financial aid award notices is: “Your admission affirms the strength of your achievement; however, University funding is insufficient to award all students with calculated eligibility. Therefore we are unable to offer you BU grant funds.”</p>
<p>It is very frustrating and probably why a 50% admit rate on 44K applicants gets whittled down to 3900-4000 enrolled students. It appears to be more of attrition than selectivity.</p>
<p>@laxkid I agree with you 100% I’m proud to go to CGS and then COM in my junior year! Go BU :)</p>
<p>accepted to CAS <333 didnt win latin scholarship but thats ok
ive had a lot of bad luck with college stuff this year after getting rejected from what i thought was a safety school because of my math SAT score, then retook it after a month of studying and got it up 90 points and resent it out to all my schools so that probably helped me. </p>
<p>i also did ultimate terrier tour when i visited boston for my junior spring break…so after doing that and taking the national latin exam and being on top of communicating about financial aid stuff with them i think they were aware of my interest level. good ECs and stats the only thing was that my scores were a little low, but its really refreshing to finally find a school that cares more the student as a person and not as much about their scores. i really have done a LOT of hard work to get this far and taken a lot of new responsibilities, and i feel like a lot of schools dont care and really focus just on scores.</p>
<p>like others i also found that the amount of aid they gave me was still really low so im going to have to fight for that or else my chances of going are none</p>
<p>Daughter applied before Dec 1 (thus getting “priority consideration”) and did get a Presidential. Both merit scholarship and finaid award had links on the announcement page.</p>
