Help!.....Please.

Applying to College
1

<p>So Boston University is my dream school. I know it's wrong, but I can't help but feeling like I HAVE to go there. I just sent in my app for them (and a few other schools...) Please chance me! :)</p>

<p>Rank: 9/402
GPA: 5.42 out of 6
AP courses: Calculus, English Comp, Chemistry, French, Statistics
SAT: 2040
ACT: 29</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
1. Classical ballet- 8+ years
2. Key Club- President
3. National Honor Society
4. Algebra tutor
5. Part-time employment</p>

<p>I've also been fortunate enough to take economics at Lafayette College for my senior year. </p>

<p>I'm not sure if anyone could help me with this, but what do you think I'll get as far as financial aid/scholarships as well? I applied for the Trustee Scholarship, and will be eligible for all of the lesser ones. I know it's difficult to judge, but my parents are fairly well off (but not independently wealthy by any means), and I'm afraid I won't get very much :/
Thank you!</p>

<p>For need based FA, have your parents run the BU Net Price Calculator, it’s just an estimate, but it’s the best there is. </p>

<p>The Trustee is a very competitive scholarship, your test scores might be on the low end; also, they are looking for other factors like strong leadership and community service.</p>

<p>You sound like a shoe-in to get accepted, I have no clue about the scholarships though.</p>
