Hi everyone,
I was submitting my BU app at the last possible minute, and my computer lagged when I was submitting. It says that my payment was submitted on Dec 1 at 11:59 but my application was submitted on Dec 2 at 12:00.

On the website for BU, it says that the deadline for the Trustee Scholarship is Dec 1. I’m totally freaking out now, does this mean that I won’t even have a shot at that scholarship? I know it’s a really really hard scholarship to get, but I worked hard on my essay. Even though it’s my fault for submitting so late, it stings that I could be totally disqualified just because of ONE MINUTE.

If anyone is informed on this scholarship, please let me know what the normal procedure is. Do I still have a chance to be a contender?

Hey! I also applied for the Trustee Scholarship this year. BU will email you either today or tomorrow with information on how to set up a MyBU account. In my email and on my MyBU profile, they told me that they received my application for the Trustee Scholarship. If I were you, I would wait for that email, because it will likely say whether or not they received your application for the scholarship.

You could also email BU Admissions explaining your situation, though they might not get back to you in a timely fashion, given that we are in the middle of application season. I’m also not sure how forgiving they will be, but it might be worth a shot.
