I’m going to be in Stuvi 2 this semester and I want to get stuff shipped directly to the mailroom there but I was wondering how far in advance to move in day would I be able to ship stuff?
And when do the mailrooms open??
How do you get a student ID if taking courses online only? I plan to attend / visit soon but still want to take advantage of student discounts and can't seem to figure out how to get an ID. Anyone else go through this before?
Does anyone have any pictures of a hojo single? I just got placed there.
Academics: I dont know my exact weighted gpa yet since my junior year grades didnt get added yet, but during sophomore year I had pretty shitty grades all 4 quarters, like for a few classes I had Cs. It was bad, and then during junior year I took 5 apes- AP Physics 1: I had an A average all 3 quarters except 1 B, AP Calc AB: I had A, A-s, and 1 B. AP USH: As and A+ among the 4 quarters. AP Pysch: As and A+ all 4 quarters, and AP Seminar I had A-s, and 1 A, and B+. And then regular classes. I am not submitting my scores.
SAT: 1530 trying for 1550+
Awards: Nothing except the AP Scholar thing
ECs:
1: During my sophomore year I fine tuned an Chinese model on finding alpha for low float stocks, and built an agentic system around it with multiple agents with different algos for different aspects. And I was building all through my sophomore year because I was really crazy about predicting on the markets even though I am not a quant. And I tested in the month of August 2025 and many portfolios and including mine went up 180%+. I had the stocks picks publicly posted on my socials but I got banned but I have clips of the system running, and my posts on Insta. I sold the whole project for 30k do a discord trading group I think around that time they were pretty small idk what they are doing rn.
2: I also built a tool for creatives that use tools like Figma, Canva, etc. Where it was a desktop agent that was sitting on your screen and as you work in Figma, Canva, etc you can spawn the agent and use context among different apps to prompt the agent to natively do actions in these apps, like draw layers in Figma, Canva, connect data from another app to use for another app. We also built the first plugin for Figma where it would convert react code to layers before anyone did this so a lot of browser rendering related tasks. And it was viewed by https://x.com/brycent on live (I have the clip), and he really liked it and he sent to the early investor of Figma, Notion, Granola, etc. And I had 2,100 users and operated for 2 months took 6 months to build, and during the operations of the 2 months we generated 38k. I was the CEO/CTO did the technical work and social media stuff, and I had a Stanford Alumni be our advisor. it was called Voca
3: I then pivoted from Voca, to build a b2b design tool where it lets any team design on a canvas with full control and as they craft stuff with their hands react code is generated on the side. Its still pre beta and we have 60 close users where designers from Wells Fargo's team, and like other companies globally use it and be our close beta users, and still in the making still didnt launch. I was the CEO for this too.
4: On the side I also built another stealth project for solo devs and freelancers to create AI UGC, and research about UGC where its an agent that natively watches videos for you, researches, and creates plans on whats going viral and then makes them and then you can post it on ur socials, and we track the metrics so every next post is based off this data. And I am projected to hit 38k MRR. By the time I apply, and I am actively trying to raise pre seed or get into a16z speedrun (but lets not count this).
5: Building a world model and writing a research paper on it
6: Built a sports betting model with documentation being 70% accurate tested for 1 month.
And a few other ones that arent important.
I was wondering if I ED to BU their biz skl, I went to tour the campus with my cousin once I really liked the campus, but also I just wanna know if the ROI going to BU is good. I mean ik in boston the whole venture side is like b2b so its almost never heard of regularly.
I’m a rising hs senior (4.1 gpa, test optional, 8ish ec’s, 5 leadership positions) interested in applying to BU. I’m going to visit it next week (out of state) but I am worried about falling in love with it and not being able to afford it. I read that BU gives full rides to applicants whose families make less than 100k per year, which would qualify me. But it seems too good to be true. What are my chances of receiving a decent amount of aid? Thanks!
How does one get a merit scholarship at Boston University? How hard are they to get?

does anyone fancy moving from west or warren into towers east? you and your roommate would need to switch with me and my roommate
thank you for reading ✌️
Given sequence would be alg 1 -> geo -> alg 2 -> pre calc
Is this rare or has this ever happened for students going into any type of STEM/Pre-Med?
Is this for only first year students ? Also not for post grad programs ?
’m interested in hearing from current or former Boston University engineering students about their experience in the program.
How rigorous are the introductory math, physics, and engineering courses? Is earning an A realistic, and how manageable is the workload when taking several technical classes together? I’d also appreciate any thoughts on grading, class sizes, professors, group projects, research opportunities, internships, and the general level of collaboration versus competition.
Are there particular professors or courses freshmen should look out for? Do you still have enough time for clubs, friends, and activities outside engineering? Overall, have you found the program enjoyable and worth the workload—and what do you wish you had known before starting?

Class of 2027 here! BU is my dream school, and I’m planning to apply ED.
Right now, I have a 1460 superscore, but I’m taking the SAT one more time and hoping to get at least a 1500 (superscore is fine). I’ve already taken the SAT three times.
For context, my high school’s average SAT score is around 900–1000. I know BU is obviously much more competitive than my school’s overall applicant pool, but I’m wondering how much of a difference a 1500 vs. a 1460 would realistically make for my chances, especially applying ED.
Would you say it’s worth putting significant effort into trying to get that 1500, or is a 1460 already strong enough that the difference probably wouldn’t matter much?
(I’m at a 710RW 750 Math)
I am a student ranking colleges for the Questbridge National College Match looking to gather first hand experiences on the colleges i'm considering!
Type of student: I'm not interested in Greek life, would love a nice outdoors, quirky, and authentic social scene with friends I can hangout with regularly. I'm a hard worker but value relaxation on certain days. I want liberty/freedom regarding my academics despite knowing I'm going to be premed because I have many passions. I want to have as many friends/connections as possible and gain a good community.
Questions
How is the premed track?
What are pros/cons you've experienced?
How accessible are jobs, internships, opportunities, etc.
How is the social scene?
What is the general political sentiment that most students/faculty hold? Do POC and Queer individuals feel welcomed and supported?
How are the dorms and food?
Is it a very city oriented experience? Or are there calmer areas?
Describe the school in one word!
Can someone help me with where to go on the BU website to find a specific professor's name?
I am a junior preparing for essays, and I want to know which professor will be teaching psychology, especially in Child Development and Public Policy, and Childhood Adversity: Risk and Resilience.
