I received my offer today for 25k/year. FWIW, I wrote a 'Why BC,' attended a Jesuit school for undergrad, and have ties to the area.

I was accepted via email on Tuesday, with no mention of money. Should I assume that any scholarship info will be contained in the package they will be sending me? Thanks, and congrats to everyone else who has been admitted.

ETA: most of us who have been accepted for months are just getting the scholly emails so it may be a few weeks.

LOLing really hard at this scholarship offer. Just found it in my spam folder. Tuition is high, scholarship is low... Something isn't adding up quite right.

My plan for the student weekend is to show up wearing a barrel while holding out a burlap sack with a $ sign on it to solicit scholarship donations.

Been asking them for scholly info every 3-4 weeks since I was accepted back in January and nothing. BU sent me scholly info with my acceptance at $30k/year. BC was a front runner but they're blowing this

I got a low initial scholly offer too. They negotiate I wouldn't worry if you have competing offers from peer school because they will likely match.
