<p>I don’t really know where to post this so I’m just putting it here.
The Boston U Trustee Scholarship says the following (on one of the brochures I received):
1529 on SAT CR/M and a 760 on SAT W
35 on ACT</p>
<p>Does that mean both or only one of the above?
Thanks!!</p>
<p>You'd be better off asking them. We can only make guesses. If you have both, then it's easy: you should send both to be safe.</p>
<p>Haha, I only have the SAT requirements and I really really don't want to reatke my ACT. That's why I'm wondering.
Thanks for the suggestion Ealgian.</p>
<p>It seems unlikely that they would require both; that'd be overkill. Good luck with the scholarship.</p>
<p>Those aren't requirements. They are just the averages for the students receiving the Trustee scholarship. I don't know the requirements with the ACT, but for SAT, you have to take the SAT I and 2 SAT II Exams. There is no minimum score required to get the scholarship, but obviously, the higher the score the better.</p>
<p>You don't have to take the ACT to get the Trustee scholarship. I only took the SAT and some SAT II tests.</p>
<p>johnstoops, im an international applyin to BU trustee, and was wondering if you could post your stats since ure a successful BU trustee now. Also do you think you got in becoz of ure app essays, trustee essay, ECs etc.? I mean did you feel you were particularly strong in any of those areas?</p>
<p>thanks for any help,
shane king,</p>
<p>3.95 UW GPA
Rigorous course load, with lots of Honors and AP classes.
SAT- 2340
SAT 2- One 800, Two 790s, and a few more in the 700s.
Founder of a club at my school, leadership position in another.
2nd Degree Black Belt
Lots of Hospital Volunteer hours, volunteered as a tutor, shadowed some doctors, some minimal medical research experience.</p>
<p>I think that would be the main stuff. I think my ECs and my academic credentials are probably the main reason I got the scholarship. I felt my app essay was strong but I didn't think my trustee essay was particularly great.</p>
<p>You can PM me too if you have any other particular questions or want some advice regarding your chances.</p>
<p>How many people usually apply to the Boston University Trustee Scholarship? And how about the Martin Luther King Scholarship? I just want to know what my chances are of getting it.</p>
