<p>If I do get into BU - I won’t be attending (99% sure) - so good news for those of you who might be wait listed. :)</p>
<p>@preamble1776 where do you think you’re attending if not BU??</p>
<p>Literally anywhere that is cheaper than BU. I’ve received three full ride scholarships to other schools. </p>
<p>@redsox1215</p>
<p>@preamble1776 I’m a URM, and First-generation student… Top 10% in my class.</p>
<p>@goldendoor - URM status will help you. First-generation student won’t really serve you much - BU doesn’t care about that. Class rank isn’t a hook. It is a statistic. </p>
<p>Please don’t be brutal.</p>
