<p>Why did everyone here apply to BU? List all your reasons.</p>
<p>location (i'm from the west coast)
the city
my major: international relations</p>
<p>safety school</p>
<p>NewYorker how did you hide that in your supplemental essays?</p>
<p>-New England region
-city location
-good merit aid
-potential for early med school acceptance in sophomore year (MMIC program)</p>
<p>lol.. i also applied because it was a safety.. i had some problems hiding it.</p>
<p>i ended up saying something along the lines of "because it's a combination of a research university with hints of intellectual freedom" .. or something along those lines.</p>
<p>also safety... talked about their research opportunities and tied them to what i'm doing right now (alot of science stuff). but i made a dumb mistake on my common app essay so i actually don't think so anymore!</p>
<ul>
<li>merit aid</li>
<li>downtown boston</li>
<li>comm + business program strength</li>
<li>liberal student body</li>
</ul>
<p>thats about it</p>

<p>What do you mean by that?</p>
<p>Well since its your safety...if they notice that they might reject you..you know Tuft's Syndrome, so how did you hide that in your essays?</p>
<p>I wrote good essays; that's all. And tuft's syndrome, well they end up taking ivy league rejects anyway. =P</p>
<p>-one of the paucity of schools with a scleroderma research grant
-my pediatrician graduated from there...and I trust her
-match city</p>
<p>love the city
the school
loved smg
i just love bu :p
it's my first choice not my safety!</p>
<p>i almost wrote about Doug Fluttie in my why apply to BU essay. I bet they get the BC/BU mix up alot</p>
<p>SAFETY
number 8-9 on my list
reason:
Because they offered me 42,000K total in free $$</p>
<p>but i'm transferring.</p>
<p>7year med program, but probably will be rejected... so it'd become my safety.
I love Boston, and the campus is decent..</p>
<p>I don't really know that much about the school (which made the Why BU essay difficult) so it was a safety based on it's location and some of the social stuff I read about it from the Fisk guide</p>
<p>I REALLY regret not having applied to BU. It was originally on my college list, but somehow I ended up taking it off. It's supposed to be great for undergrad philosophy. Darn.</p>
