@therealslim4 BU is not a religious school at all. doesn’t come in the tour or in conversation. in fact, traditionally it has had a very large Jewish population. so, feels very secular. (And there is no judgment in any of my comments there!)
Yes, my S got the NHRP scholarship for 20k/yr. @piksla
@myoldest Congratulations and happy to hear your news! Thank you for sharing.
@lindsayalice17 I got in yesterday and was wondering the same thing. My dad told me that it comes separately to the parents through email or snail mail within a few weeks.
Got in with a 3.7 gpa and 30 on ACT I am very surprised I got in this was my 2nd school and I got rejected from my first (Northwestern yea I know it was a big reach) and I’m just a normal white guy from jersey lol. But congrats to everyone else who got in hopefully I’ll see some of of you guys there (assuming I commit to go xD).
@Dorothy28 okay great good to know! really hoping for the best because i’d have to pay full price if i don’t get tuition exchange
Can a presidential scholar receive other scholarships at BU if they have really good grades and stuff like that? Also is it possible to get into the honors college after going to BU?..procrastinated about writing the extra essay and regret it now
@YuukaAono That may have something to do with your residence location. Depending on where you are coming from it may be more or less difficult criteria. My D got outright denied at 1 school and her friend was accepted. Her SATs were over 200 points higher with stronger EC’s. The main difference is that our family moved into the US from an exotic location (where her friend is still a resident) and the high school she now attends has a large feed of rockstar students to top notch schools (Harvard, BC, Northeastern, BU, etc). This is probably why she was not waitlisted. It works the other way if your country is not well represented in the incoming class. Schools like to tout how many states and countries are represented in their class.
Well…Think about that…That’s the only thing they can say, OTHERWISE everybody will go and check their housing portals
hey guys, congratulations on getting in! Join the official BU Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BUClassof2021/
Big packet from BU arrived for my son in the mail today. We’re in NJ, so I assume they’ll be arriving to everybody soon. Congrats to all.
@AllyssXx @intstudent2021 did any of you guys try contacting the office of admissions and knowing the reason for scholarship tab not showing up for international students?
@Mayank21 well I did email them about it but they take some time to reply.
Besides, I believe they just DIDN’T keep one for internationals. Sucks, really needed a scholarship.
sigh.
@intstudent2021 but then how did one international on this post got a $20000 scholarship
@Mayank21 will you be considering BU? It’s literally over Rs. 46,24,000. Ugh if only
are we supposed to have a scholarship tab in the portal? if we don’t have one does that mean we simply didn’t get one?
@Mayank21 As I explained before, only international students who did not get a scholarship, did not have the tab.
@intstudent2021 ofc not. But I want to know why they informed domestics and left out internationals
@momacredro1 If I’m not completely sure if I will choose BU, would it be weird to join the groupchat?
@foodnetwork I believe so. But I cannot say 100%
