@premedtransfer did you get in all your financial aid in early? The grant should be the same for each semester I think?
Hey all! Congratulations to everyone whos heard back from BU!
Im currently go to a small liberal arts college in upstate NY. My stats arent the best, I had a 3.7 HS GPA with no extra curriculors, and a 3.3 Collge GPA, with one extracurriculor (crew team). Im a little nervouse to see what is going to happen
@panda987 I did everything by November 1st, I actually think they received everything around October 26th, and then they asked me for taxes around November 15th and I sent them in the same day.
That’s what I was thinking. It is a pretty sizable amount, more than what I expected, so if it is per semester that’s awesome.
How much did everyone get in aid?
just got accepted!! but i totally forgot about the css but they’ve officially received my fafsa/css, but i’m worried i won’t get any aid because apparently the deadline was Nov 1? they said its still possible & i should hear back the first week of december but i’m worried if it’ll be a good amount? thoughts?
@tuftshopeful22 did you get any financial aid yet?
I got accepted today! Just waiting on financial aid now
accepted!
Not yet, I hope I do soon though I wanna know if I can go or not asap
Does anyone know about what time we’ll find out about financial aid? Do they typically give the 300 accepted Spring transfers good financial aid since they inevitably had people transfer OR graduate?
@Valorship98 when I got mine last year, I got it on December 7th. Some people on last year’s thread got a nice amount and some like me didn’t get much!
Does anyone know how long it takes for BU to send the decision once they have all application materials? Would they do it right away or does it take a certain amount of daysv
@shenaiya the day I got accepted my application link said I was missing my college transcript & proof of graduation which I had already sent out to them. I called to see what was up and the gentleman processed everything for me on the phone. Give them a call!
does anyone know if I don’t accept this semester and my GPA goes down (to like… 3.19, accepted with 3.38) and I reapplied with the lower GPA would BU accept me again?
Were you already accepted with a 3.38?
I got in a week ago! HS gpa 3.92, first semester freshman at MA state college with gpa about 3.6-3.8. Varsity sport in high school with community service and volunteer work. SAT score of 1380, 740 math 640 English. Really good admissions essay in my opinion. Really hope I get a lot of financial aid so I can go!
