<p>I’m just really worried because my math scores are lower than where I wanted them and I just got waitlisted from Villanova. Please let me know 
Thanks guys.</p>
<p>You’re amazing! You’ll get in just fine. Don’t worry.</p>
<p>Thanks, I’m just really worried now since Villanova waitlisted me and I’ve been banking on going to BU for months now :/</p>
<p>Me too. BU is my top choice but my stats are nothing compared to yours. I hope we both get in. Good luck. :)</p>
<p>This really blows my mind… I also went engineering and got wait-listed at Villanova. I’m not giving up hope it was my No.1. Like you I have some other reall great choices; however, it is what it is. That being said a friend of mine applied to Villanova like me in the EA pool. He was picked up in EA. I can tell you I know for a fact that for the small amount of data that you post is far above his.</p>
<p>I also applied to Northeastern and got denied… You’re in there you should be pumped, they had 44k applications and only took 2.8k. Your in the 6% range to the good, that should make you feel good. </p>
<p>My SAT, GPA, and class standing is also below your posting. I keep digging into the how’s and why’s of the way colleges do things. I have BU on my list of hopes like you but there is no telling how this all goes down. I even applied to Yale knowing full well that when I did apply I had only a 2% chance of getting in. I found out this past week from somebody who went to school there that Yale is very fair with all applications. If they like what they see in a app. your going to be in the mix, it’s not all about the SAT. I’m still in the mix!! Would I take it if offered? You bet I will. </p>
<p>You took both the SAT and ACT and did quite well, I’m surprised they wait-listed you at Villanova. I’m sure you essay was quite nice. I don’t know much about UPitt other than it being another good school and not easy to get into.</p>
<p>I can’t see BU kicking you to the curb. I visited twice, once for the normal visit the other was to see the engineering dept. If you don’t get in it would be crazy. </p>
<p>Good luck, see you in the engineering world and maybe in a BU class or two.</p>
<p>Thanks for the nice comment 
I ended up getting accepted into BU College of Engineering and I got into the Honors College also. I wasn’t granted any money, but I knew that I was getting nothing from financial aid.</p>
<p>Now I’m just really surprised with Villanova, since if I got into the Honors College here I’m shocked I didn’t even get into Villanova at all. It might be because I never showed any interest in Villanova like visiting, and sent my application the day before the due date, it was a last minute apply. </p>
<p>But, I could care less at this point, BU was my first choice and it’s just so relieving!</p>
