I’m an asian-american woman and I’m applying for financial aid. I’m also from North Carolina and I don’t have many honors, besides AP Distinguished Scholar, some piano awards, and one school achievement. I think my recommendations should be good and my supplements are good (writing about my hobby of doing calligraphy and how it translates into who I am- I think it fairly represents me but I’m worried that it’s not deep enough). I also plan on either majoring in Biology for pre-med path or Anthropology. I’d really appreciate it if anyone could chance me or give me any advice about Boston University! Thank you!

If you have already applied ED, then I do not think that there is much to do other than to wait and try to be patient. Perhaps you can have a gelato during the warm weather that is on the east coast right now.

I think that your chances are pretty good. However, we do not have much experience with ED. One daughter did get into BU RD several years ago with slightly lower stats.

I do not think that it is a safety, particularly with some students having deferred to next year due to the pandemic. I think that you need to be ready with applications to other schools including a safety in case this does not pan out.

That’s very true that I can only wait now and I feel like December 15th can’t come fast enough! BU is definitely my reach school and I have some other safety schools just in case I don’t get in. How was your daughter’s experience in BU?

“How was your daughter’s experience in BU”

She chose to go somewhere else. She decided to go somewhere that was not in a big city. University did work out well for her however.
