D: Based on the stats and ECs, I completely agree that BU was a good match for you, and I’m shocked that you weren’t accepted or, at the very, very least, waitlisted. I would doubt it was because of the number of students who applied from your school - 193 applied to BU from my school last year, and probably more this year, and I’ve never heard of a case of inter-school competition in that regard (though I very well could be wrong).

The monetary reason is the best I can think of as well, but that seems really uncool on their part. BU says they’re need-blind, so that would seem contradictory though. Is it possible they didn’t receive your mid year grades, or something along those lines? Maybe it was the lack of chemistry SAT IIs and APs (though even that seems odd in light of all of the hardcore chemistry classes taken during your senior year, and the biochemistry course at Harvard during the summer)

All-in-all, I’m really surprised, and I seriously can’t think of any reason for it. I’m really sorry dude =/

Good luck with Cornell though! I really hope you get in! <|[={D>–/—<
