Re: Boston University c/o 2015 Applicants
Agreed. Odd system, but I guess they figure we are more likely to attend? (Though I only went ED since it included full tuition. I'd think a lot of people who went ED are the same, meaning they need money to go.)7ate9 wrote:Great, I was originally ED.

To confirm, I'm also still waiting for scholarship info after applying ED, deferred to RD, accepted in December.

I'm glad that this seems to be the trend. As I've said before, if they throw enough money my way, I'll send them the deposits as fast as I can.landla wrote:Agreed.

Has anyone ED turned RD (non-URM) received their scholarship info?

Re: Boston University c/o 2015 Applicants
I went under review twice in Feb after receiving the "complete" email. After the second UR update, my status changed to complete. How exactly does BU's update sequence work/has anyone else experienced this sort of thing?

I never even got a status checker. I submitted in November. Figure they just didn't like me.

I got a response from my e-mail yesterday, basically said that most merit aid goes out with acceptances but sometimes people get money later. So basically just hang around and either one day money will show up or it won't.

Well damn, could they have made it any more pessimistic? I suppose the time for negotiations is near...bobbyh1919 wrote:I got a response from my e-mail yesterday, basically said that most merit aid goes out with acceptances but sometimes people get money later.

Well, I registered for the Miami admitted student reception. It's a week and a half before and I already feel the Miami driving stress...

Are scholarships ever awarded during the original acceptance phone call?
