<p>see posts under scholarships, honors program, trustees, etc for a variety of suggestions and info. Last year our s got his acceptance but no mention of merit $---so we thought it was a "no" even though that made no sense due to his stats. We emailed the school and called a few days later. They said we would hear in two weeks but we called after a week explaining that we needed to make plans to travel for admitted student days in mid-April and needed to know soon since it was defintely going to tip the scales for BU over Tufts, NYU, etc. Well from what I gather in such a huge school with so many applicants the process to hear is random. Some got the merit with their acceptance letters while others, like our s, had to wait. There is also a suspicion on my part that they have to give thought to offering merit $ to students they think might not accept so bottom line---email then call---explain that you need to ask if no mention of merit aid means you didn't receive any or just did not yet hear. With your stats I bet its the latter and if you call and show interest and express the legitimate need to make travel plans and your desire to attend BU you will likely her within a weeek.</p>
