<p>Stormia,</p>
<p>Your stats are great!
Did you get at least a half-tuition (University) scholarship?</p>
<p>I don't know yet. All that is under my "merit aid" section online is a letter saying I didn't make trustee.</p>
<p>Haha um yeah... I am kinda surprised I got in because you guys who were waitlisted have better stats than me by far!! </p>
<p>GPA- 3.8UW/4.2W
SAT- 1900
SAT 2 french- 440
SAT 2 Chemistry-560
ACT-28</p>
<p>I guess my scores are why I did not get any scholarships!!!
But I guess they looked at my application subjectively too and realized how I really am the best student and would be an excellent contribution to the school! Just kidding. Have fun at BU guys! Even though it won't be as fun without me there!</p>
<p>So I hope one of you who got waitlisted and really wants to go there can have my spot!</p>
<p>mine stats are bad ..i dont know how i got in..maybe because of my major...?</p>

<p>Quote: "i think i read somewhere that UNI only accepts 30 people a year...is this true??"</p>
<p>Yes id also like to know because i was also accepted to University Professors.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard about MLK or alexander graham bell scholarships?</p>
<p>yea it says under your merit scholarships whether or not you recieved those scholarships. I applied for the MLK scholarship and of course I didn't get it! It just says the usual stuff about how everyone was so well qualified but how unfortunately I didn't get it.<br>
So check under your merit scholarships and it will tell you if you got the MLK or Graham Bell scholarship.</p>
