<p>I remember reading the number 20 in relation to the Trustee Scholarship. Do (about) 20 kids receive them, or is that just about how many who receive them go to BU? I was wondering how competitive this scholarship is, like how many people apply and how many receive the scholarship. If I get it then I am 100% going to BU, so I pray!</p>
<p>Also, what sort of weight do they put on each part of the application? My ACT score is a 35, I have decent ECs, and my letters are good, but I’m not sure how amazing my essay might be.</p>
<p>Hey, I’m a current trustee. More than 20 kids get offered it - we have about 30 trustees in my year, but the last few years before only 15ish accepted. We’re guessing more accepted this year because of the recession (and thus more valued the money). I’m not 100% sure how many they offer it to, though it’s still a very small amount of students.</p>
<p>They definitely take everything to account for choosing Trustees, including essays, which is a good thing - you get a much more diverse and interesting class that way. Just do your best at everything - it’s not something you can get chanced on a message board. Good luck! :)</p>
