<p>It looks good.</p>

3

<p>also wat r my chances of any scholarship?</p>

4

<p>I don't think you'll get a scholarship.</p>

5

<p>You have as good a chance at a scholarship at BU as I do, which isn't much of a chance.</p>

6

<p>Academic scholarship, no chance. Financial aid is a different question.</p>

7

<p>If you can bump up those SATs to over 700, which isn't a huge stretch, you might get merit scholarship money if you are lucky. I assume your family income is too high for financial aid. What are your grades?</p>

8

<p>my bad i wrote scolarship when i meant financial aid. srry bout that</p>

9

<p>That depends on your family's income, but BU is fairly generous.</p>

10

<p>as in my current grades? we dont get 1st semester grades till feb</p>

11

<p>I think he meant your GPA, but you already said. I think if you can get your GPA up to a 3.5, you're in a position for a scholarship as long as your SAT's approve like they should.</p>

12

<p>update on scores</p>

<p>CR: 690
M: 620
W: 700</p>

13

<p>wait a sec... i thought BU was pretty good at giving financial aid/scholarships...</p>

<p>are the academic/merit based scholarships few and far between?</p>

<p>BU is known for generous merit aid. Search under it on the web site for details and stats.</p>
