@Dolemite Hey, aren’t you also from the WUSTL forum?
Anyway, I’m a international student, so the FA tab just says that it isn’t available for me.

@AllyssXx Yes - my D is a Scholarship finalist for WUSTL.
@Dolemite good luck. I’m certain your D will get into BU. Don’t stress.
So Saturday it is then? Why didn’t you ask for a time!!! LOL
My D’s financial aid tab is hasn’t changed.
@redpoodles mine hasn’t either.
I should also add that my D is eligible for Tuition Exchange scholarship since I work at a Tuition Exchange school. Very likely that Tuition Exchange would require more documentation. She’s also eligible for National Hispanic Recognition Program scholarship or National Merit Finalist scholarship. So maybe she’s a special case that needs additional documentation due to any of those.
We didn’t apply for Financial Aid and son17 has had schools contact him to verify that he is indeed not seeking any aid. He got into those schools. BU has not contacted him, but he did update his app the other day with an award and a admission rep immediately emailed back and said Congrats and thanks. So he’s got to be in right? Haha.
This is such a silly process.
@redpoodles they might have accepted your D but not gotten around to looking at financial aid info yet.
I do think there a multiple piles. 1 pile for accepted kids, no financial aid. They look through those and see if the kid qualifies for any merit, most likely not according to their stats.
Then another pile, accepted kids, seeking fin aid. Big pile! They have to work through it.Probably takes a while figuring it all out.
@redpoodles Yeah like @RightCoaster said. Don’t take it as a rejection because you may not need additional documentation. Just that if you do see that they are asking for more documentation and they already have the FAFSA and CSS then I think it’s a good sign.
@RightCoaster I agree. And it is indeed a silly process, with people debating whether a single difference with a phrace or having a certain button on the applicant portal means anything.
It is silly but… Anxiety.
Hi, I just joined this thread! I also just made my bu web account… is there anything specific to look for? Are the trustees scholarships out?
@Dolemite what’s your D’s status. Is it begin with thanks you or our records indicate?
Ugh, both BU and Middlebury are released at 8AM, so 3PM over here. Which one to check first…
Open two browsers.
@normanf Thank you for your application to the College of Arts & Sciences for the September 2017 semester…
hey @Dolemite I just checked my son’s portal and it says Thank you for app blah blah blah.
Our kids must be in!!! LOL. I really don’t think that note means anything, seriously. Just keep your fingers crossed for 3 more days.
I’m just curious where everyone is finding this? I am on my portal and it says nothing???
@kwnstandina on your BU ApplicantLink check on th application status on top right hand section of the screen.
It should say something like Thank you for your application to the Questrom School for 2017.
If it helps My D who was admitted ED had the same message as @Dolemite D had on hers before decisions were released. BU will send an email saying check applicant link when the decision is released. They also posted on social media on decision day hinting to the fact they were being released that day. They release decisions early for ED. Hope this help all the RD students waiting.
Thanks @RightCoaster Oh ok so this is what mine said “Thank you for your application to the Accelerated Dental Program in the College of Arts & Sciences for the September 2017 semester. We will email you during the application review process if we are missing any required credentials for your application. You will be directed to check this page to see which credentials are not yet received”
Is that good to see?!?!?!
