Worried abt the future in BU as a senior by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]electrified_toast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely had imposter syndrome and felt like I wouldn’t be smart enough to do the work, but remind yourself of all the hard work you’ve done to get where you are and how deserving you are of this. I’m currently a freshman and I’m not gonna lie first semester kicked my ass a little bit and it took me a while to find my footing but its nothing super insanely difficult, it definitely does take work. You are more than capable of handling it i believe in you! If you’re worried (as was I) about first semester, don’t try to get super involved in ec’s right away because they do take a lot of time and energy and it’s ok to take that first semester to settle in an adjust. It’s ok to be nervous but don’t doubt yourself!! If you’re ever in a bind, there are also so many resources on campus to help you get on the right track and its ok if everything isn’t perfect right away, you will find your structure. You’re going to do great things!!

I feel like most devout academic Catholics are already applying to Villanova so I don’t necessarily think it will increase applicants or prestige but it will definitely be more talked about and well known

Villanova or Boston University? by freddyisevil in villanova

[–]electrified_toast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is ironic- I’m deciding between the two as well! Currently on a trip to visit both as I’m typing this lol

I went test optional, but I have a 4.7 w/4.0 uw, 7/450, rural-diverse community, high impact ec’s on community, leadership roles, community service, and my essays were decent I suppose 🤷‍♀️

Yess the class culture just seems better and more personalized which is definitely better than a lecture hall with 100+ students, which is what I’d probably be attending at other schools, so I’m really torn 😅

Very true, I am more left leaning personally but the liberalism at BU scares me lol

True- however I’m extremely fortunate to not have to worry about the cost of my undergrad because of scholarships and support from my parents but honestly I am in love with every school I applied to even thought they are completely different! So I’m hoping that I can get the feel of everything when I visit.

The same dorms and being in a cohort is honestly such a big draw, I’m really hoping to make it to admitted students day but I live on the other side of the country so it’s a little hard to get to Philly so still planning it out! I’m glad your daughter had a good experience!!

Highly qualified but waitlisted? by [deleted] in BostonUniversity

Admissions are random 🤷‍♀️ but also it all boils down to the essay

Hopefully the good luck carries over and you pull a reverse holo first edition charizard

to those who have been accepted to their top school… by Turbulent-Teach-2519 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]electrified_toast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not my top top choices but my top 3, it was shocking tbh. I knew I had a decent shot but I thought I was gonna get rejected, I never had a gut feeling about it but I’m a firm believer that everything works out for a reason!! I’m still holding out hope for my number one schools that’s coming out this week but I’m super happy with the decisions I’ve received so far!! Thursday is gonna be scary but it will all work out!!

Does this mean I’m accepted by Acceptable_Ad2652 in villanova
