Can anyone convince me why I should go to BU? I love BU but there are some things I don't like and since I got admitted to USC, I'm really wondering if I'm crazy to decline that school.
But truth is i've been wait-listed to Vanderbilt university and if i get accepted there i am declining BU. Because i can simply save 11K by just commuting from home (17 min away) plus Vandy is a great school.
No, communication for both schools.
@afrogenius,
I feel ya. I wouldn't have to pay for flights to boston from california if I went to USC, though I'd still stay on campus housing.
It's just that, there isn't a single person in this thread who is 100% going to BU and is geniuinely excited about it. While on the USC thread, it is a vibrant and lively community of people celebrating their future school. When I compare the two, I really want to be in the USC group. Not to mention the higher prestige of USC and connections in LA. USC alumni are great! And then there's the awesome campus, sports, and people too. People don't seem to care about going to BU.
BU has a better program for me though. Way better courses and practicum in advertising + hands on opportunities on campus + solid internship options. while USC is just comm theory, which might be boring and kind of useless. And BU gave me 57k in aid, which is almost a full ride. Not sure if I want to take out a lot of loans for USC. Anyways, I'll wait for USC financial aid to come and if its not that less than BU, I'll go to USC.
Sorry for the rant.
That1guyy the only reason I'm waiting for Vanderbilt decision is because BU didn't give me enough aid (only 34k). Taking out the rest in loans will b crazy cuz by the time I graduate I'll have a house mortgage without a house.
Then tell them to cancel your application.
I agree with that1guyy. If you reallly are over it, then canceling your application would be the most thoughtful to those who are still waiting. If you still want to go, then just give it another week! They probably won't take more than that give out the rest of the decisions.
"by the end of june" the lady said . :banghead:
For those of you who didn't yet hear back... Did you also apply late? I ha everything in by May 21st. They said I could still apply because the commonapp was still open. I am surprised they got back to me in twelve days!
They asked me to send proof of high school graduation though...
