大家收到过Boston University 的申请邀请吗？

今天打开邮箱，看到Boston University的申请邀请，偶还没碰到过这样的事呀，还没申请就告诉我会有奖学金？原文如下：

Congratulations!  Through the Graduate Management Admission Search Service (GMASS), you have been identified as a preferred candidate for Boston University抯 MBA Program because your profile is similar to current BU students who have enrolled and received scholarships for our MBA programs.

To take advantage of our scholarship opportunities, I encourage you to apply early since our funding is limited.  If you submit your complete MBA application by March 15th we will provide you with both, an admission and scholarship decision, no later than April 15th.

这是不是真的呢？Boston University 我从来没了解过啊。GMASS真有这个机构吗？

If you submit your complete MBA application by March 15th we will provide you with both, an admission and scholarship decision,

这个应该算是承诺了吧？我只是奇怪他们怎么得到我的资料？总不能只凭GMAT成绩呀？其他背景什么的是怎么知道的？不是陷阱吧。

I think it is " provide you with an admission and scholarship decision " but not  " provide you with an admission and scholarship "

But if you are interested in B U, you'd better try it.

我今天也收到这封信了，一模一样啊。正在为难呢，其他学校正在面试准备中，大概3月中旬前都结束了，还留了一点时间，这个学校要不要考虑呢？感觉那奖学金还挺诱人的。。。但似乎对学校没太多了解，是不是他们招不满人啊，琢磨不透。查了一下排名，大概40-50名，也还说的过去啊。

况且，essay似乎还要写挺多，申请费也贵。

这里有了解的朋友吗？给分享一些信息吧。多谢！

有谁知道BU到底怎样呀？好象很多人都有丰厚的奖学金呢。
