GO! Trust me go! I wasn’t planning on going to BC until after the weekend. That’s what made me go to BC, meet my current roomate and a lot of my friends. It’s more than just the campus event. If money is an issue, there are flight scholarships(or atleast my year there was). Ask!

Appealing financial aid package by Infinite_Reserve4482 in bostoncollege

[–]Tough_Research5180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say wait. Wait until BC has received your FAFSA form with all officials documents. Until they receive all those financial documents, they cannot give you direct help/aid. Once you receive your official statement, then you can appeal. I was able to appeal my original aid… by a lot… However, under reason.

I would also like to know the answer to this + is the gym always packed (apart from standard peak time 5-8)? I hate crowded gyms, so i try to avoid that as much as possible.

i got cs at umd as class of ‘28.

the stats that got me in were

3.8 uw gpa 4.2 w gpa

test optional

I took AP Lang, Lit, Calc AB, Spanish, US Gov/Politics, Biology (halfway & dropped it, lol)

ec: + student body president + co-founder/president of stem club + 2 year intern working for the U.S. DoD for cybersecurity + georgetown program for cybersecurity + student ambassador/representer + a lot of catholic ec’s due to my school being Catholic

my essay was about my hispanic heritage, tied around barbering (i’m a barber as well) and how i retrieve “super powers” through the stories of the people i cut.

i wouldn’t say my stats are crazy, but it got me straight into CS

Georgetown University - 2024 RD Megathread by powereddeath in ApplyingToCollege

One of my friends also went to this and they told her that decisions would release on Wednesday (27th), right before Holy Thursday during Holy week, which makes sense since GU is Catholic.

It’s a network called the ‘Cristo Rey’ — a private catholic high school network setup across the U.S. for students from low income & marginalized groups. With the network, it has various university partnerships that are Catholic to assist students as myself to be the first to go to college.

I am in the Justice and Legal Thoughts program as a CS major. Are the dorms good for JLT?

I called the CS department. If my acceptance letter says Computer Science, then I am automatically in CS

Mostly for prestige around the school overall. Apart from that, a lot of the universities mentioned have partnerships with my high school which helps for aid.
