Is full pay really an advantage at BU? I was told their admissions are need-blind.

They are need aware. They also favor males in admission.

If you have above average stats, BU is basically a sure shot if you apply ED. So it's a good way to lock in a decent-ish school.

If admitted ED to BU, and student applied for
Fin Aid will award amount come with acceptance?

My Kid admitted ED. 1480 SAT(790 Math) Math Major, 3.7 UW from a OOS private without any grade inflation. 8 APs(school limits APs to Jr. and Sr. Year) Highest rigor APs (APUSH, Physics C, Calc Bc etc. none of “easier” APs).

ED acceptance rate was 26% that year. They showed demonstrated interest and made 2 visits to the school. Was told that the Why BU? Supplemental essay was important. They are in a niche non-recruitable non varsity sport. BU was one of the 15-20 colleges that had a club team that competes nationally.

Friend with a higher GPA but less rigor in the same sport was deferred ED then rejected. Not sure of they were TO or not.

Perhaps the kid really wants to go there? Now there’s an idea.

Over 85% of BU students rank in the top 10% of their class. Among students who submit test scores over half have a 33/1450+.

Why BU?
