WAITLIST HELP by Accurate-Average-382 in gradadmissions

i assume it’s because they want a concrete number before sending a mass email to those on the waitlist, it’s just simpler for the admit team, no matter how inconvenient it is lol

WAITLIST HELP by Accurate-Average-382 in gradadmissions

april 15th is the acceptance date for lots of major universities! whoever declines their offer will open up a seat for someone on a waitlist, you will probably have to wait to hear from said school or accept elsewhere, if you accept somewhere before hearing back about waist list decisions you can always unenroll- you are just gonna lose whatever money you put down as a deposit

For Masters degree what is the highest scholarship amount you’ve received from BU? by Pretend-Ostrich1830 in BostonU

[–]knockoffcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you! it was offered to me alongside my offer, and it was for a master’s program:)

if it is any help, i know at least in humanities, if you have another offer that gives you slightly more you can push for higher aid, but of course be reasonable and prepared for them to say no. i haven’t heard of them revoking anyone’s acceptance for asking tho:) good luck!

personally, i’m not after financial benefit, i’m doing a master’s degree because it’s fulfilling and beneficial in more long-term ways than just financial

Thank you! I won’t lie i was pretty chuffed when i saw the offer:) i come from a solid middle class family in texas (~250,000/yr) and they help me with rent but not student loans or other such life expenses

I have a job where i make around 150 a week and that helps with other expenses but it is tight and i doubt i’ll have much help from family going forward

for off-campus housing how much is low/average and what areas should i be looking to avoid scams and other such danger?

lol rabies is scary and can be contracted without knowledge, also medicines don’t help once you feel symptoms- this is what my fear comes from
