Boston University class of 2024 RD

@Biggreg I currently have quite a few options at higher ranked schools that have also given me quite a bit of merit scholarships. I was just wondering what are your thoughts on the Trustee Scholar community and what if you know any details about studying econ/business at BU?

It is it a bad sign if you didn’t get that email while others did?

For those of you worrying about not receiving the trustee scholarship email, remember that it was something that you had to apply for a while back and they sent an email. I would only take it in a less-than-ideal sense if you had applied for the scholarship and not received anything. However, congratulations to those of you who have received the scholarship!

@nt2502 I’m pretty sure the trustee scholarship mail and “the email” are two different things. I think the trustee scholarship letter is a physical piece of mail sent to those selected for it, while the email everyone has been referring to is the one sent in early march saying that decisions would be released tomorrow. This email was most likely supposed to go to all applicants but there are often errors in the mailing list. It happened to me with Emory, so I reached out and they got it all fixed up. No need to worry guys!

The Portal is down


I meant the time on saturday
 sorry for not being clear

im so nervous for tomorrow

@user_465009 ppl have been saying 8 am EDT but last year it came out at 6:20 am or so

idk maybe set a notfication for your phone
 besides that does anyone think they would release it today?

If I forgot to submit financial documentation (proof that I can pay the tuition), will my application get cancelled?

@amebede If you didn’t apply for financial aid, then Boston University is running under the assumption that you are paying the full price. You do not need to submit any financial information if you are not requesting financial aid.

I am an intl applicant for the Trustee scholarship.
I probably won’t get physical mail anytime soon due to curfew in my country for the next 2 days.
How will I be notified that I’m selected as a Trustee scholar, if I’m selected at all?

@amebede are you international?

@LyricalLeader I’d imagine they’ll let you know in your decision letter tomorrow, but I could be wrong

do decisions always come out on a saturday? or have them come out on fridays? just asking because the portal has been down for a while

My portal is back up - no decision

Will decisions be posted on the portal or through email?

they usually send an email saying they’re posted on the portal

@anon19e0290 Yes. I don’t need financial aid but I didn’t submit the letter from the bank saying my parents can afford to pay.

Do you have to do that?
