<p>You’re definetly in, but most likely no merit scholarship as BU is really bad with them.</p>

<p>This is just a general question, but what types of students does BU usually give merit scholarships to? I was kind of hoping to get a scholarship too because the cost of attending is pretty high, and I don’t qualify for need based aid.</p>

<p>Oh, and I’m pretty sure you’ll be accepted. I’m not sure about the scholarship though.</p>

<p>I was wondering the same thing is there anything I could do more to get merit scholarship… since I don’t qualify for need based aid…</p>
