<p>beth1486, I believe last year BC invited around 60 students to the PSP weekend and I think 55 actually attended the weekend in February.</p>
<p>Congrats to you, partybabe33n and FountainSiren on your invitations. Besides your stats, you must have terrific ECs, including community service which BC does place a premium on. It is quite an honor just to receive the invitation! It's also a nice bonus surprise around the holidays. Good luck to you all on the PSP scholarship and also on all your other college aps.</p>
<p>What does it take to become a PSP scholar?
I figure it is an arduous process given the competitiveness of BC's EA pool.</p>
<p>Does anyone think that without the full 4 year scholarship or even without being in the honors program that BC is worth attending (assuming you got in). After all, BC costs almost 40,000 dollars.</p>
<p>I know that there is a slight benefit to being a legacy. Is there one in the Presidential Scholars Program? Does anyone know how many of the PSP members are legacies? Is it similar to the overall population at the school?</p>
<p>For those of you who were invited to up to BC to compete for the Presidential Scholarships, how was your visit? How'd the interviews and such go? Do you know yet if you were chosen?</p>
<p>I was at BC in February for the PSP weekend. I had an amazing time. My interviewers were both fascinating people and they asked questions that were fun to answer, like "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" and "Which three people would you most like to meet?" They also split us in groups for discussions and watched us talk. The low point for me was the essay they made us write about religion vs. government - much thinking on one's feet required. The best part was probably the trip to Boston, in which they took us to see the Lion King.
The notifications went out around March 1st (the acceptances, at least)</p>
