BU Class of 2021 RD Discussion Thread

ACCEPTED!

SAT: 2210
SAT II: Math 2 (800) Biology M (800)
GPA 3.73 (UW) 4.28 (not sure if this is accurate - this is for my high school)
Got into my first choice, Questrom
Accepted to: UCD, Gonzaga, UW, UO
Waitlisted for: UCSD, Cal Poly SLO
Denied to: UCLA
Two pretty strong ECs, several volunteering opportunities, had work experience at an accounting firm
Housing application never worked for me

I got in ED I for COM. But my stats were 3.3 GPA UW but I had 33 English ACT and 32 Reading. BU puts a lot of emphasis on the essays and designated interest so that is how I think I got in with such a low GPA. Also I’ve volunteered for an opera company for most of high school and have tons of community service so that helped too. CONGRATS TO ALL THOSE ACCEPTED SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.

Anyone who did not get enough financial aid should appeal. That’s what I did and I got almost double.

Did anyone get rejected AND have access to the housing portal prior to decisions being released?

If I don’t have scholarship mentioned in the letter and I don’t have a scholarship tab then do I not have a scholarship?
(Is an international)

@prepgirl2017 deferred with 3.4 and 30/1390. i do agree. i demonstrated plenty of interest and put a lot of effort in essays

I applied for CAS and got into the CGS January Program.

@2017Pride What were your stats?

ACCEPTED with 1470 sat 800 bio 730 math 2
66k/year scholarship I think I made my choice ahahaha

If I don’t have scholarship mentioned in the letter and I don’t have a scholarship tab then do I not have a scholarship?

Rejected 3.5 GPA 29 ACT

Just in case anyone wants to take a look here’s the admitted students profile http://www.bu.edu/admissions/admitted/get-to-know-bu2021/

does presidential and national merit stack or do you only get one if you awarded both?

wow… just got accepted with almost full tuition and housing covered by scholarships. ACT 28 GPA 4.1 literally no idea how this happened

Accepted to CAS

Hey everyone! I got accepted. I literally cried when I saw the decision. It’s hard to believe yet being an international student from India. Go Terriers

Wait so if the decision letter doesn’t mention anything about Kilachand it means you didn’t get it? That sucks :frowning:

Btw I didn’t have access to the housing portal before. So it was really nothing
