BU Class of 2021 RD Discussion Thread

@prepgirl2017 @iconiclife what does it mean to appeal? I am an international student I don’t know much about it. Can international student apply for it too?

Accepted to COM! GPA 3.88 uw/4.2w; 2040 SAT;
Film internship, 300+ volunteer hours, in multiple clubs etc.

Accepted! Housing link kept saying “access denied” - so that myth can be busted

I got waitlisted… quite surpurising cause couselor told me I could get accepted easily
Does anyone know what is the chance being accepted in the waitlist?

Accepted! But I applied for the Trustees & Honors program but there’s no tab for either of them…does that mean I didn’t get it? I’m on mobile btw not computer

And I got the Richard Cohen scholarship for $49,000 but under scholarship award tab, it says “Scholarship decision is not available online” so I’m not sure if it’s supposed to say that

Did they tell you about scholarship information already? If so, where can it be found?

How do we find out if we’ve been admitted to the Honors College?

Do they send admissions packages to international students?

took another L… 0/7 so far with a 33 ACT (36M 35E 30S 30R) 13 AP classes with 4s and 5s on all of them 3.76 UW GPA and a 4.8 W GPA 750 on Math I, 800 on Math II, 800 on US History… international violin school along with other ECs… RIP ME

Where can the merit-based scholarships be found on the portal?

Accepted into CAS! With no aid though, anyone have luck with appeals?

@GMKoon sat 1370,sat 2 math2 710,t100,gpa(w) 4.7 (uw)4.3

Also got the Boston- London program. I won’t be attending though. I think it’s because I blew off my why BU? Essay. Probably didn’t show enough interest. Ces la vie!

Stats
1340 sat / 3.8 WGPA / 28 ACT

@ktf1117 I am in the exact same boat as you, I really thought I would get in considering I got into BC.

Is the tuition of 67k per year or semester???

Hey guys,

I’m an international student so I had to do the Certification of Finances form, and I submitted the form and documentation, but about 2 weeks ago, I went on my portal and saw this small side note that told me I didn’t submit proper documentation (I submitted an income statement). I called them and they told me they wanted a bank statement that showed liquid funds. I sent it to them a while ago and it still shows the same message on my thing so I’m not sure if I submitted the wrong documents again. They never emailed me about it (I didn’t know about it until I randomly decided to check my portal). Do you think this will affect my decision? Because I filled out the paperwork and sent them everything

@claradeluna per year

Btw I submitted the income statement to 3 other colleges and they all accepted it; BU was the only one that ended up wanting a bank statement from me

hi guys i just woke up and checked my decision

accepted! (didn’t apply to honors college)
had “thank you” but no access to housing portal (so it prob was just a test)
act: 35 // 3.6 uw gpa
(for more details you can check one of my chance posts–i won’t clog the thread with them)
