I'm praying for that extra letter in the packet...I just got a full ride to Cardozo, and I hate having to make a decision based predominantly on finances. Regardless, I'll try to work a bit of negotiating strategy to squeeze as many dollars as possible out of BU.

Anybody know anything more about the Public Interest Scholarship? Somebody said it is 30k/year. What kind of numbers were required last year? Or do the criteria lean more to the "soft" side?

When did you apply/go complete?

I have very similar stats (168/3.35) and applied 11/1 and haven't heard anything yet. Should I be getting worried?

Waitlisted via email, withdrew from waitlist online. I felt honored to be waitlisted rather than rejected outright, but BU would just be too expensive compared to my other options at this point. (plus, withdrawing from the waitlist is better for my ego than being rejected from the waitlist!) Good luck to everyone! :)

Waitlisted... just found out today

Least I heard back from them.

Anyone know what BU's waitlist normally looks like and if they have a reputation for going deep into it or not?

Thanks

I know 3 people who got off the WL. 2 were probably WL'ed just because they applied super late (really high scores), and 1 got off because of an LSAT retake. It happens... but 2 of the ones I know that took the off WL offer had really high scores - 171/3.5.
