complete 2/3...haven't heard anything.
>75 LSAT, >25 GPA < 50

Heard anything as in decision or money? I'm complete 1.25 and haven't heard about a decision.

haven't received a decision yet

Ah okay, this is my last school I'm waiting on so hopefully something soon....

I have a 3.99 GPA and a 163 LSAT score, but I applied mid-February so I'm feeling like I'll be lucky to be admitted (let alone get scholly money). Is there anyone who applied early with similar stats? If so, would you mind telling me what you got for scholarships, if any (PM is fine)? I'm kicking myself for not applying to BU when I applied to other schools early on, and I'm considering waiting and re-applying next year.

I had 1 pt on u LSAT but a bit lower of a gpa ~.3ish and got admit no $ so I'd imagine you'll get in but not sure how much gpa would make up for the 1 LSAT point... I was also admitted b4 they got their T20 position so not sure if they are going to start being lame and more strict now that its official. But again, I'd imagine youll get in and if no money you can prob send a LOCI with other offers to see what they'll do

Hey there! I had a 163 and a 3.7 and I was admitted with 75k for three years. There's still hope for you!

[EnviroNerd]

I got 75k per year from BU. You think it's worth it to be in 75k debt for attending?

[EnviroNerd]

Also if you already asked if they can reconsider your scholraship and they just said get in touch with financial aid, is there anyway i can try and negotiate with merit based aid instead of need based aid again. I would absolutely attend if they gave me a little more.

Thank you!! That's really encouraging...right now I have full ride offers at low-level schools, $10k at a top 20, and no money at a top ten. None of the offers are terribly attractive, I so wish I'd applied to BU earlier.

I have the same GPA as you with a 160 lsat score, and got 60k for all three years. I don't think you're too late at all. I applied mid-January

Has anyone who has already received merit aid received anything in regards to need-based?

I have. You can PM me for details.

Possibly? I have exact same stats and got $96k

[EnviroNerd]

Got my need based package. Was alot less than expected. Wondering if i can talk to the financial aid office and negotiate and explain my situation to them while i'm at ASD?

[lakergrad]

For all of you who have heard about need based aid, how have you been notified? Email? Snail mail?

I went to the ASD this past Friday and had the same situation, so I went to the fin aid office and they basically just said to email them with concerns and scholarship negotiations. The same thing happened to my friend as well. So I would say just go ahead and email them about it.

Hey! I'm an admitted student but can't find the Facebook page. Any of you have luck finding it? Also, has anyone else not heard back about need based$$$$. I'm getting nervous I screwed something up

Less than a 3.7 and 168 and received 90k. URM tho, but I think you would have a good chance.
