******BOSTON UNIVERSITY RD 2019 thread*****

@cayala3 you don’t enroll into another school. You essentially have all of the fall semester to do whatever you want (work, travel, etc.) If you enroll at another school, you’re out of the program. I’m in the program as well and I looked at the admitted students website

Accepted into COM
3.96 UW, 5.14 W
Rank: 7/755
ACT: 33
I didn’t love my CA essay but I think my BU one was good
~300+ hours of community service (not sure exactly, but I’m a member or officer in multiple service organizations)
ECs were strong, nothing crazy impressive though.
Recs were probably very good.
AP Scholar w/Distinction and National Merit Commended

BU offered me ~$57,000 including the Pell grant and about $9,000 in loans. I applied for the Trustee scholarship but apparently did not get it.

Accepted Northeastern, DePaul, and Fordham and UT Austin/Plan II Honors. NU, DePaul, and Fordham all offered me like ~$20,000 but my EFC is $0 so those are definitely not options anymore. I haven’t gotten a Financial Aid offer from UT yet.

Rejected from Columbia ED, waiting on Yale, Harvard, Barnard, and Rice.

Congrats to all who got in!

Accepted into CAS as presidential scholar (not accepted into honors college)
2310 SAT
school doesn’t rank
all honors/ap/dual enrollment courses, one of the harder schedules offered at my school
a lot of community service/leadership
my essays were pretty good i think
National Hispanic Recognition Scholar
recs were probably pretty good but not spectacular (except my dance teacher’s rec was amazing)

got about $27,000 ($20k presidential scholarship and $7k in federal stuff for the most part)

accepted: fordham, syracuse (discovery strasbourg), gwu (likely letter)
waitlisted: uchicago, brandeis

accepted into CAS. Sat:2040 gpa UW3.6 not lot of ECs recs were good

My S was wait listed for the acting program. Does anyone know about their wait list? Is it ordered, or are they grouped and then looked over again as spots open up? Would it be helpful for him to submit anthing else, and what might that anything else be?
Thanks.

Hey Guys,

Accepted into the college of arts and sciences, I applied for econ, is it possible to change majors to premed?

Accepted to COM!
3.44 cumulative GPA (3.68 senior mid-year grades)
2050 SAT (630 M, 700 R, 720 W)
Good classes, ECs, and service
Really good essays (I believe) and showed lots of interest by touring and talking with my rep when she visited my school. Honestly I was a bit shocked when I read “Congratulations!”

Was the acceptance update today? @Freespirits‌

Very similar. Not sure about why no honors? Also money was grant, didn’t state Presidential. We had applied for Trustee/full ride. Accepted to Northeastern, and BC with honors about the same $. Any opinion between the 3 for Engineering (no Engineering at BC, - Physics or change major)? How about BU vs Northeastern Engineering? Thanks

I got offered a guaranteed transfer for the fall of 2016! kinda disappointed but still, it’s a good option! by the way @ReesesPuffs‌ I doubt that’s true. I saw the guaranteed transfer thing myself and it seems to me like you are supposed to spend a year taking general education classes at another university, and then send fall and spring semester transcripts to apply to transfer in. As long as you get at least 3.0, @cayala3‌, you should transfer in without a problem.

Is it just me, or has this thread been lacking in people who have been accepted into college of engineering

@Juggerz Yeah. It sure seems that way. I applied to college of engineering but didn’t even get my admissions decision yet.

@NickScythe‌ wow really? I thought they all came out yesterday. Did you check to make sure they have your mid year grades

Accepted to SMG with 27.6k from BU
2290 SAT 1 (800 CR, 770 W, 720 M), 800 SAT 2 Lit, 750 SAT 2 US History
3.85 UW GPA, 10 AP courses

Also got accepted to SCU (no fin aid), Temple (full scholarship + 8k summer stipend), Baruch (full scholarship + 7.5k summer stipend + Macbook Pro) and Hofstra (30k)

Accepted to COE for biomedical
34 ACT
3.93 UW gpa
Taken 10 APs (all junior and senior year)
No merit aid but 40k in grants per year which surprised me as I got Honors and 30k merit per year at Northeastern

Accepted into the College of Engineering!

ACT: 31
UW GPA: 3.6
Plenty of EC’s and Leadership
Good Essays (I suppose)
Good Letters of Recs

Indian Asian Female from California

Genuinely shocked about this acceptance! Most likely will be attending!

are there other people whose portals have not yet been updated?

My D was accepted into College of Engineering. ~3.9 GPA / ACT 34 / SAT 2220 with an 800 MATH 2 and 730 PHYSICS. She was denied outright by MIT and Caltech and waitlisted at Harvey Mudd. She was also accepted into Kilichand Honors College which makes this offer really special and quite appealing.

Accepted into the College of Engineering (Computer Engineering)

SAT: 1890
UW GPA: 3.78
Great Essays and 3 amazing letters of Recs
Many leadership positions and volunteer work
Took pre-calc classes

USA dual citizen living in Brazil

Very surprised I got in but it was probably because of my 115/120 TOEFL score (which is required in my case).
