Im a high school senior and BU is my #1 choice. I have some other schools I’m looking at but I know if I got into BU I would pick it. I’ve read they’re act averages are 26-31 I have a 25 and a lot of extra curricular things on my application. Do I honestly have a better chance getting in early decision or would I be better off to wait and apply RD? I won’t be able to pay full tuition but I’m already signing up for a lot of scholarships. please help!
If money is going to be an issue, avoid ED. Your opinion of what you deserve for FA and what the school thinks may be vastly different. BU is not known for being overly generous. If you cannot pay full freight, pass on ED. Outside scholarships are a gamble, frankly.
