They sent me a 60k scholarship 3 days after I withdrew. I think they're really disorganized

Huh? Don't you have a 169? And they try to buy that with 60K? They are disorganized.

Not necessarily. This is kinda the new normal. Not a lot of pickings.

I'm on the BU waitlist as well... Have not heard any updates. If anyone has any information it would be appreciated, I'm on the edge of my seat over here!

Seriously. Other schools have been much more transparent about the waitlist status. Ahh the waiting game...

I did. I got my WL decision in the morning (I had applied super late, like March 28) and then the update.

I did as well... Is anyone planning on calling the Admissions office to get more information? Like if they have a better idea of how many spots open they have or how large the waitlist is this year.

I'd be very appreciative if someone would be willing to do that!
