<p>No, it's not, but you could get a very good financial package.</p>

3

<p>I'd say you are.</p>

4

<p>i'd say it should be a safety for you, and if not, then its definitely a match school</p>

5

<p>Right. A "low" match.</p>

6

<p>exactly. you know what im getting at.</p>

7

<p>There's really no reason you shouldn't get in...its a safety for me and my stats aren't all that much higher than yours</p>

8

<p>definitely a safety, but the amount of money is up in the air.</p>

9

<p>DEFINITELY a safety.</p>

<p>bu was a safety for me.
i got a hugeeeeeeeeee fin aid package (well, it's free pretty much)
but BU's really really hard.</p>

<p>it's kicking my asss</p>

<p>sprkl...you mind posting your stats, or PMing me with them..because its also a big safety for me, but i dropped it because i decided they wouldnt give me enough money...im probably getting a full ride from rutgers so a school like BU really cant cost more than like 5 grand or so for my parents to let me go there...if that...itd be kinda hard for me to pull it together since the apps due in two days and its annoying and i still have UMD to wrap up...when you say pretty much free, how much is that...if you dont mind me asking...just dont wanna have dropped a school that couldve been worth applying to</p>

<p>what's your gpa on a 4.0 scale? i have similar stats and was wondering if BU was a safety for me as well. well similar stats except gpa, since i don't know that yet.</p>

13

<p>if I use the scale B+=3.3, A-=3.7, A=4.0 then its
Freshman- 3.66 UW, 3.86 W (i was a slacker)
Sophomore- 4.0 UW, 4.4 W
Junior- 3.94 W, 4.74 W
Senior 1st quarter- 3.97 UW, 4.78 W</p>

<p>Cumulative- (9-11)- 3.87 UW, 4.33 W</p>

<p>there is quite a bit of inflation at my school however, hence my bad class rank</p>

14

<p>there isn't inflation at all at my school, but still sucky rank for me b/c so damn competitive. i have slightly higher gpa and sat then you, so hopefully BU is a match/safety for me too.</p>
