Hey guys, I applied to BU’s direct admit dpt program regular decision. BU is my top choice, but I doubt I will receive financial aid and am really really hoping for merit aid to bring down the cost to at least be somewhat comparable to my 23,000 half tuition scholarship from SLU and was wondering what people thought/have heard. Do I have a chance for receiving half tuition or any merit at all? Here are my stats:
GPA: 94/100 UW (my school does not rank and does not do weighted GPAs)
ACT: 34, not superscore (35 english 34 math 34 reading 32 science)
Full IB diploma candidate: for junior and senior year I’ve been taking:
- IB Mathematics HL
- IB Biology HL
- IB English HL
- IB ESS SL
- IB Visual Art SL
- IB French Ab Initio
- IB TOK
Gender: Female
Major/program: Direct admit DPT
Home state: Illinois
I have done 50 hours of physical therapy observation, have been on pre-professional dance companies for all four years of high school, have a job at a gym and work about 8 hours a week during school year 20 hours a week during the summer, and have done some small things like volunteer tutoring weekly for a semester and participating in summer immersion programs in sports medicine. I come from a small private high school with only about 200 students.
I’m in love with BU and I really hope I get in and I hope that if I do it will be a financial option for me. If you wanna share your stats or if you have any ideas about if I’ll get it/when I’ll hear/if I’ll receive merit that would be amazing!!
