Trustee or Presidential Scholarships

Hi everyone!

BU is my top choice school. I’m a senior currently and will be submitting my application soon. I just wanted to ask some opinions on the Trustee Scholarship.

My first question is: do I even have a shot?

My GPA is a 3.95. My ACT score is a 32 composite, 34 english, 29 math, 34 reading, and 34 science. I have a good balance of ECs and leadership.

I’m going to apply to the Trustee even if its a long shot but I just wanted to hear some opinions from people to see if anyone has gotten in in the past and what their stats were, or if anyone knows about typical stats for Trustee scholars.

Secondly, I have my eye on the Presidential Scholarship. From what I’ve read it is based on the top 10-15% of the incoming, no? I’m wrong please correct me lol. Do I have a chance for that? I’ve looked through past CC threads and my stats seem good for that.

Third, I am not sure if I should apply to Kilachand. I think that I should if I’m applying for the scholarships. Any insight?

Thanks, any advice is much appreciated!!

Oh gosh I accidentally wrote my science score down wrong as a 34 (I wish). Its actually a 29.

Trustee scholarships go to the top 1-2% of applicants but it is not only based on stats.

@TomSrOfBoston Am I correct in saying that the Presidential is based more on stats and the Trustee is a more wholisitic view, including stats, ECs, and the essays?
