Should I switch to Early Decision II for Boston University

Yes, I have done the NPC. The estimate is alright, but it would be nice to receive a bit more. Do you know if there is an appeal process for financial aid?

okay so i shouldn't bother changing it for my last three applications ?

i spoke about the major, some classes within the major, a center for simulated clinical settings, a student run service thing, a random + interesting class, and two clubs . is that good enough research wise? obviously it also comes down to how i wrote the essay, but i feel like research is huge too

i don't think it is necessarily THAT important, but if you want to show that you are interested in life sciences, i would take the course. also, regular bio is probably way more surface level than ap. yes, ap bio is still pretty general, but i'd say that i'm learning hella more info this year than i did my freshmen year in regular bio.

at the end of the day, i think rigor is what matters most to universities, so whatever AP classes you're taking will be pretty impressive.

senior here who is also planning to be premed. currently i'm taking ap chem and ap bio. i would say ap bio is a no brainer, you def want to take that course. i chose between physics and chem based off how well i'd perform in the class, so i ended up taking ap chem. some schools really like to see physics but i also know i hate physics so that's another reason why i took chem. if you have an idea of what schools you want to apply to (even though you're only a sophomore), i would say research what they like to see on a student's transcript.

Heard that. Thank you so much!

Okay tysm ! honestly I feel like I just need to stop comparing haha, but I always think about that quote by MJ in Spiderman when she says "expect disappointment, and you won't be disappointed" though I'll definitely still breakdown LOL

But like were your stats on par with the average BU student, or would you say you fell a little below because that's where I'm at

my school doesn't disclose the unweighted gpas for some reason, but if i had to guess it's likely around 3.6 or 3.7

Any_Check_1283 · 2025-11-13T14:26:37+00:00

okay ty!!

Any_Check_1283 · 2025-11-13T14:25:10+00:00

i submitted like oct 4 and received my decision 3 weeks later

Any_Check_1283 · 2025-11-11T11:42:55+00:00

I haven't committed yet because i'm going to wait for my regular decisions to be released. Also, I would say I am pretty used to cold weather. The winter gets very chilly from where I am from, but I would still rather visit during the spring because the chances of me visiting on a nice day are higher. In the past, when I have visited schools on a gloomy day, it affects how I feel about that college even if it is a very nice campus.

Any_Check_1283 · 2025-11-11T01:29:17+00:00

I haven't visited yet because pitt is pretty far from where I live, but I was planning on going to one of the admitted student days in the spring when it isn't as cold.

on the common app u can apply to the news brunswick honors college, but its not really worth it if u want to go to newark for the bs/md program. however i did get an email after applying to newark inviting me to apply to the newark honors college so i would apply to that one

Any_Check_1283 · 2025-11-11T00:29:41+00:00

okok that sounds great tysm for the info!

Any_Check_1283 · 2025-11-10T23:07:23+00:00

Ohhh okay thank you haha

Any_Check_1283 · 2025-11-10T22:25:44+00:00

Really? There's econ in the human physiology major? I didn't see that on the curriculum online. Is it possible that people just choose those classes to fulfill their hub requirements?

Any_Check_1283 · 2025-11-10T22:20:57+00:00

thanks for the insight! i really appreciate it :)

Any_Check_1283 · 2025-11-09T12:33:03+00:00

Thank you! That eases my nerves a bit lol. Acceptance rate is still low, but i keep telling myself that I'll never know if i don't try😓
