On November 31st I applied to BU since the deadline for scholarshipsis the 1st. I paid and thought that my application went through no problem but today I received an email from the common app stating that I had paid to apply but my application itself did not go through. My dad spoke to an admissions officer who was not very sympathetic but she said that I could email the admissions department and explain my situation and they could keep the email in my file when making a decision. I was wondering if this has completely ruined my chances of getting a scholarship or if there is still hope.
I assume you mean November 30th. Another reason not to wait until the last minute to apply.
I emailed admissions about this same thing and they said that a) Dec 1 is a postmark deadline, so if the common app says your application went through before then but wasn’t received, they will probably still consider you for scholarships if you let them know the situation, and b) they still consider post-Dec 1 apps for scholarships, but obviously people who sent apps before the deadline will be given priority. You should call or email to make sure, and make sure you send in your app (again?) ASAP.
Yes, I meant Novmeber 30th not 31st that was my bad. But if anyone else is in the same situation definitely email admissions ASAP. The lady I emailed was very nice and said she’d make a note on my application of what happened and there shouldn’t be any further issues. Good luck with applications!
