<p>OK, Here's my twin bro's stats: (Sorry to the 1450 rejection, you're gonna wanna kill BU after my bro's stats. Nothing against him he works VERY hard at what he does, but his stats are the lowest here so far)</p>
<p>Decision: ACCEPTED to College of Fine Arts (graphic design major)</p>
<p>Stats:
SAT: 1180 (610M 570V)
SAT IIs: 620 BioM, 590 Chem
GPA: 4.35w
Rank: 11/77
Other stats: A+ 1st MP and Midyear AP Calc AB, strong fine arts portfolio (as determined by Pratt and Syracuse)</p>
<p>Subjective:

Counselor Rec: Brilliant
Hook (if any): none</p>
<p>Location/Person:
State or Country: New Jersey
School Type: public
Ethnicity: caucasian
Gender: male
major strength/weakness: Strong porfolio, excellent GPA for designated major; lower-end SAT and SAT II scores
why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: A+ in AP Calc AB senior year for an art student is, to be honest, quite rare IMO. Also had As/A-s in science classes, as well as CP humanities</p>
<p>My twin bro received $38,635 in fin aid, of which only about $6,000 is loans. I'm really excited for my twin bro!! He has to decide among BU, Pratt, Syracuse, and Montclair State (NJ school) now</p>

<p>Congratulations to all! I'm starting to feel a little better by reading your stats. I was admitted ED to COM. 720V, 620M, 710 writing, Great ec's, recs, gpa 92 uw, all honors and aps, blah, blah. I knew that I did not qualify for financial aid--middle middle class--this is going to be a hardship financially for me and my family. I was counting on a dean's scholarship, did anyone receive one? I actually called admissions today when I saw the stats of some who received them--I think there is some financial need or legacy involved. This college admission process is so random.</p>

<p>Dantrek -- you got a 10K Dean's Scholarship with stats pretty much below BU's median? Maybe the Dean's Scholarship isn't worth 10K?
Are you on the lower end of the economic scale or something? No offense or anything, but it just seems kinda random otherwise.</p>
<p>I got a 10K deans scholarship with lower than that. My EFC was above the cost of BU (like they told me on the webpage with my award), and I'm white. Maybe theyre just looking for specific things.</p>
