<p>I would love to go to Boston University. I am wondering whether to apply RD or ED. I want to know my financial aid package, even though BU is my first choice, but if ED will get me in over RD, then i might do it. Do i have a really good chance of getting in RD?</p>

<p>If you apply RD, you’ll get a chance to compare aid packages, and that might be a good idea since BU is not known to be one of the most generous colleges. I do think you have really good chances to get in RD. But only you can say how badly you want to go there.</p>

<p>bump bump, anyone else></p>

<p>what are my chances for RD?
i love BU, and i want to know if i am competitive there.</p>

5

<p>also, how easy is it to get a UROP></p>

6

<p>I would guess that it’s pretty difficult.</p>

7

<p>I’d say your chances are very good. Being from Hawaii will help. No one can say for sure but I think you would get a nice financial package.</p>

8

<p>ok thanks, any other chances?</p>

<p>i was hoping that UROP would be easy.</p>

<p>do i have a very good chance?</p>
