BU Class of 2021 RD Discussion Thread

Have any of you guys heard anything about when the Trustee Scholarships are announced? And if I don’t get it will I be notified?

I’m not sure exactly when but in 2015 students got their financial aid packets and scholarships mid march in the mail

Someone on another thread mentioned that the financial tab needs to be checked, when decisions are released, for the scholarships. Not sure how those who do not receive a scholarship are notified.

@stern2021 idk if this will help but the best advice i’ve ever heard is that the right college for you will never reject you. seems a lil stupid but when you think about it, idk it makes me feel better. you’ll end up where you’re supposed to be :slight_smile: and you can always transfer if you’re unhappy

I am an international student so for me the Bu financial aid tab doesn’t work… I guess I should send an email and ask…

In the past the Trustee Scholarship recipients were announced a few days before everyone else was notified.

Does anyone know what time on March 18 decisions will be released?

Decisions are for a fact coming out on Saturday, March 18th at 8 am EST

8am EST, good to know. I would have thought 2 or 3pm so I’m glad to know I should plan to stick around the house that morning to be home when my son checks the portal. I did notice BU has admitted students dates starting 3/31. Good luck to everyone!

Oh Boy I’m gonna be on school trip to China on the 18th… just my luck!

ED1 results were to be released on the 15th Dec. They were released early. 2:30pm eastern on the 12th. Hope they release the regular decision early too. Good luck to all!

Does anyone know if BU send out emails to notify you or do you have to check the portal and hope they are out?

I believe they send out two emails. One near the beginning of March to tell you when decisions will be out and a second when your decision is available on the portal

The ED1 applicants got an email saying check portal for decision.

ughhhhhh why can’t we get out decisions now!!!

Based on last year’s timeline, it looks like applicants will hear on March 18, 2017 at 8:00am EST. Trustee Scholars will most likely receive emails from the University President on March 13th. Just wanted to give an estimate to anyone else who might be wondering.

@TomSrOfBoston how many people are granted trustee scholarships?

just received an email… decisions will be coming out on March 18th!!

AHHH I AM SO SCARED!!

Just got the email as well!!! The wait begins
