Boston University Regular Decision 2025: Discussion & Decisions

anyone else’s portal still down for maintenance?

nvm waitlisted :frowning: guess ill be going to lehigh

nope we’re not giving up until we know for sure
and even if you don’t get in to them you can so take a gap year
I’m on one rn and I think everyone should do one
I mean it’s not what I thought it would be because of covid but we’ve been in school for the last like 16-17 years, we need a break
don’t worry, sigh I wish I could hug you rn :frowning:

What you’re looking for never comes in the form you expect
Im so sure you’ll end up loving where you end up so much you wouldn’t be able to imagine going anywhere else
but I also feel you on wanting to be in Boston, I soooo wanted to go to school in ny and I got rejected form Columbia and nyu9 fingers crossed for Barnard tho)

Also, I have one quick finaid question. It says that I have, under scholarships and grants, a total of $51,000 or so and $25k per semester. Is this totalled to $200k over four years, or is just the $50k?

Excited to consider BU but still very disappointed by waitlist from Northeastern

$51,000/year. If part of that is merit you need to maintain the stated minimum GPA.

Those are fantastic stats. I think your daughter has a shot at the other schools. Even if she gets rejected from all of them, UNC is still fantastic. She is way above me and I got guaranteed transfer too.

Thank you so so so sos so sososo much!!! :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: You’re more supportive than my friends and family combined. I hope you get into Barnard. I’ll pray that you do! Without a doubt you’re going to achieve great things in life.
