Boston University (2022-2023)

[wintry knoll]

all others are reach for me

[mint root]

bu’s a hard target for me

[weary helm]

BU is a target school for you?

[mint root]

i have a 3.7

[wintry knoll]

its hard target ig

[mint root]

my friend had a 3.9 and called bu her safety

[weary helm]

Was she rich af?

[mint root]

she’s a junior lol

[tranquil pasture]

i think your friend didn't deserve her 3.9

it all depends on context

[mint root]

tbf she’s a double legacy and attended a summer program there

[wintry knoll]

bu aint a safesy for anyone

[tranquil pasture]

well there it is

that's probably the closest you are gonna get

[mint root]

what’s crazy is that all the 3.9 gpa kids at my hs who wrote dogshit essays got rejected 💀💀

[weary helm]

Dogshit BU essays or in general?

[mint root]

bu essay

[wintry knoll]

i forgot whats my bu essay

[weary helm]

I’m actually really proud of my BU essay but I don’t think it’s specific enough

[wintry knoll]

but its definitely mediocre

[weary helm]

At least it’s not like “I want to live in Boston🤩”

[mint root]

mr why bu essay was one of my better ones

[weary helm]

Yeah same

[mint root]

the AO told me that they receive a shit ton of those essays

[wintry knoll]

i just wrote why major and research opportunites

[mint root]

lol i avoided talking about research

[weary helm]

I wrote about research and how easy it was to publish research

generic af but I just couldn’t fit everything in 250 words

[mint root]

i wrote about how i wanted to help diversity the field im in and how bu has a rich history of DEI work

[wintry knoll]

what their word limit

[mint root]

250

[wintry knoll]

i think i went over somehow

[mint root]

mine was 248

you literally couldn’t

[wintry knoll]

but its 253

[undone summit]

So there’s a chance

[weary helm]

Now that I think about it mines probably mediocre af rip

[mint root]

when i applied i had a sub 3.5 unweighted gpa and somehow got deferred

[wintry knoll]

if you improved significantly

thats really a big boost

[mint root]

yea i did

[undone summit]

I wrote mines why school essay all in the similar way

[mint root]

3.3->3.7

[weary helm]

I tried my best not to recycle essays

[undone summit]

Honestly as long as u take hard classes all u need is a 3.5 +

[undone summit]

No u misunderstood me, same style but all different stuff

[mint root]

i talked about BU’s commitment to diversity/social chance and how i want to do that within their cs program + their study abroad program

[wintry knoll]

i had good grades last semester but only 2aps

so rip

[weary helm]

Ohhh okay okay gotcha

Sorry about that

[undone summit]

I just talked about what bu offers that is in my interest and how I can use them to the fullest

1 class, 2 programs, and 1 club

[weary helm]

I just tried to make mine as personal as possible

[mint root]

yea i felt like mine was v personal

[undone summit]

Only my club reference was personal

Cuz I thgouht it would take up too many words lol

[mint root]

not too personal

because i legit was 100 words over

[undone summit]

And u submitted with 100 words over too?

[mint root]

nah i cut it down

[undone summit]

Oh ok

[mint root]

it’s helping me write my loci tho

[undone summit]

See I was genuinely taking my time to write these why school essays

[mint root]

rizz up rhett 💅

[fervent yoke]

My why bu was the best supplement imo

[mint root]

same here

[undone summit]

I would say it’s up there

[undone summit]

Have u wrote urs for neu yet?

I don’t even know where to start

[mint root]

i’m halfway there

[undone summit]

Like I have no stuff to update

Everything I’m doing rn is not news to them

[mint root]

the updates part is similar between the 2 schools bur my why x school is different

[weary helm]

Maybe mention recent research in the field you want to go to

[mint root]

idk go into more detail about what you’ve been doing

[weary helm]

And connect to back to you

[undone summit]

Bruh we have to add more to why x school?

Oh nah

[mint root]

yea

especially for neu

[wintry knoll]

my loci is lowkey better than my why school essay

💀

[undone summit]

Seeing how successful my why UMich essay is I’m prob gonna steal some ideas from that

[mint root]

where did u get deferred

[wintry knoll]

Northwestern

[undone summit]

Me for Purdue

[digital iron]

Essays matter

Them GPA just for show

[undone summit]

Ur opinion on my essay made me feel a lot better lol

[mint root]

yea i gathered that

[digital iron]

It sounded a lot like mine ima bffr

LMAO so I feel like you have a good chance

[mint root]

because how did i have a 3.31UW and catch a deferral meanwhile kids with 4.0’s r getting rejected 💀

(i have a 3.7 now)

[undone summit]

Ur simply better

[digital iron]

Yeah essay over academics 🤷‍♂️ you could be the smartest but if you have no personality no one going to want you

[undone summit]

Lol prob a red flag somewhere in their application

[digital iron]

It’s most likely the essays

[mint root]

it’s prolly their essay

their ec’s and stats r fine

[digital iron]

It’s the only other part that plays a major roll besides the stats

[fervent yoke]

I heard business is very competitive to get into

Or does bu admit by the uni in general or by majors

[mint root]

by school

[fervent yoke]

Oh..

[wintry knoll]

is cas one of the easy one

[mint root]

yea cas is one the easier ones

[undone summit]

no

oh nvm

[mint root]

the hard schools r questrom (biz) and sargent (health sci)

also engineering but that’s a given

[fervent yoke]

Im doing engineering🥰

[mint root]

i heard eng isn’t as hard as biz

i was gonna apply for compE or cs

glad i did cs

[fervent yoke]

I applied for bme

[mint root]

p sure that’s one of their best programs 💀

[fervent yoke]

Either engineering or nothing for me😔

[mint root]

but they don’t admit by major

and u can transfer to other schools with ease

[fervent yoke]

Thats true but i prob would have to take another yr or so to complete all the engineering classes

[mint root]

true

unless you do it before class starts

[fervent hazel]

oh! yeah this is getting added to the reject pile

i kinda half assed the essay

[weary helm]

I know BU is need blind but how come I’ve seen people say that if you can pay full price it’s easier to get in

How does that work if BU is need blind?

[azure bloom]

idk sorey

[mint root]

it isn’t

bu is need-aware for intls tho and that matters

[distant crest]

Bro don’t give me so much hope

[mint root]

if ur intl who is full pay (idk how this school is not cheap) you have just as much of a chance as domestic students at most

[distant crest]

Oh

It’s still hard

But why do for some reason I feel like the hype for BU is going down

Like in Reddit, no one is mentioning bu

[weary helm]

Oh I see

[weary helm]

Seems like NEU is the school to be at in Boston

[mint root]

neu is the “it” school

[weary helm]

I think BU is infinitely better imo

[mint root]

BU fs has its issues but they don’t have any big scandals

[weary helm]

Wait what scandals does NEU have?

Like playing the admissions game?

[mint root]

did u apply to neu

yea

[weary helm]

No

[mint root]

housing issues

[weary helm]

I was

[distant crest]

Bro I would die to go to BU

some people are just ignorant

also bu’s owner doesn’t care about ranking

That’s why they r not as high as ivy

[weary helm]

President Brown 🤩

[spark jewel]

@near venture pls respond to the statements above

👍

[near venture]

Who the fuck is pinging me in the fucking BU channel of all places

Ah I see

I mean BU is fine

Nothing wrong with it as a school

But since when housing issues are a scandal

That word is thrown around so much idt anyone knows what it means

[mint root]

bro ur gonna get ratioed in club northeastern💀💀

[mint root]

bu does care about yield but not as much as neu

[spark jewel]

I already am ratioed so hard

😭

[mint root]

once rd drops i’ll help defend you #goterriers 💓😭

[distant crest]

When does it drop?

[mint root]

march 25th

[distant crest]

Hopefully everyone that genuinely wants to get in, gets in🙏

[mint root]

bu tends to be v good at telling who acc wants to get in

[distant crest]

🤞

[static pelican]

Neu is him

[pastel hollow]

me 🥺

[near venture]

neu is literal bae

[rich bay]

bu really seems to be growing in the engineering side

they've been investing a lot in robotics recently so for engineering students it's def a rly great school

I also rly like the whole engineering department's culture and vision with their idea of a societal engineer

[distant crest]

What about their CS

[mint root]

i think same thing

[distant crest]

I hope it’s not growing, so I can get in😭

[mint root]

cs program is improving but since it’s in the arts and sciences school is not as competitive

bu admits by school not major

[distant crest]

Oh

Yup obviously

But still, some people just wanna get in, so they might opt for CS

[rich bay]

Why wouldn’t you want the department to be growing?

[distant crest]

Like currently not because it will have lesser competition😭

[rich bay]

Woah what?

[distant crest]

Boston?

Whaaaat

[rich bay]

Huh?

The notification date is like march 25th?

[distant crest]

They started sending out?

[distant crest]

.?

Wait actually

Bro I’m shakin rn

[rich bay]

Or I think that’s what I heard at least, it’s like late march

[distant crest]

Nice

Show pic

W

[rich bay]

Are y’all trolling?

I’m so confused

[distant crest]

Istg

They’re def trolling

It’s impossible

[rich bay]

It’s not funny to troll about that kind of stuff tbh :/

[hexed lagoon]

send pics 😭

[distant crest]

Ikr

[rich bay]

Are these likelies?

Wth

[distant crest]

I’ve got no email

[rich bay]

Same

[distant crest]

No rejection or acceptance

[rich bay]

There’s nothing on my portal

[hexed lagoon]

same

[distant crest]

Did you guys get email or portal?

[rich bay]

What

[hexed lagoon]

wtf

[rich bay]

Mine just says

Please check back for application status

[hexed lagoon]

did they send it out for just CS?

[rich bay]

This is whack

[hexed lagoon]

i applied to CS rip

[distant crest]

Did you guys get an email tho?

[rich bay]

Oh

Yeah minority call acceptances

[distant crest]

now it seems like you guys are trolling

[rich bay]

That’s a likely

[distant crest]

wtf

[rich bay]

I’m pretty sure

Most ppl don’t get that

[distant crest]

suddenly so many people got acceptance

Anyways good job to anyone that got in

Im looking forward to mine

[winged pivot]

I got an acceptance letter in my portal

[rich bay]

Most ppl will receive their decisions in late march so dw

[azure bloom]

woah owah owah

so if I check rn

i will get my decision

nope

didnt get it

any phsycial sciences ppl here?

[umbral pilot]

did this early thing happen last year too?

[azure bloom]

maybe they just accepted the ppl they 100% want in the school and are narrowing down the pool

kinda weird tho cuz they literally had a date for RD

[umbral pilot]

even im cs i didnt get

[mint root]

HUH

[umbral pilot]

guys who got in, yall instate or oos/int'l?

[azure bloom]

the guy who got in deleted his messages

🤔

[digital iron]

Lmao

Trolling

[umbral pilot]

BRUH

[mint root]

there’s no way

rd drops in like late march

[digital iron]

🤔

[umbral pilot]

ayo guys stfu i almost cried stop trolling 😭💀

[mint root]

ed2 JUST came out like last week

my heart was racing

[distant crest]

me too, I had goosebumps

[mint root]

i almost cried

[digital iron]

Nah bruh I was like there no way

💀

[mint root]

rd never comes out THAT early

they have like 80k apps

[umbral pilot]

ESPECIALLY CS

[mint root]

cs isn’t the most competitive program at bu tho

so like if u get rejected as a cs major it wouldn’t have mattered that much if you applied as another major

i’m not even done with my bu loci💀

[rich bay]

I got hit with a wave of depression when they said it ngl

[digital iron]

They admit by school so CS isn’t that competitive to get into at BU unlike business and engineering

[rich bay]

mhm

[tranquil pasture]

how selective is business?

[mint root]

like very selective

[tranquil pasture]

Questrom had an acceptance rate of 15.23%

huh

[mint root]

whwre did u get that number from

when i toured someone asked an ao and they said like 9-10%

[tranquil pasture]

I googled it

lol

[mint root]

oh

it’s prolly lower

google said bu had a 20% acceptance rate

[junior hawk]

what is it actually

[mint root]

like 14%

[sharp forge]

Google gets its data from US News

Which says BU’s acceptance rate is 19%

It’s likely they’re using old data and haven’t updated it yet

[mint root]

yea that data is older

https://www.bu.edu/articles/2022/class-of-2026-admitted-students/

[undone summit]

is it true that bu cares about when u submit?

i rmb seeing a article that they didn't like how majority of applicants submit on the last couple days

[mint root]

from bu specifically

[undone summit]

i think so

can't be for sure tho

[mint root]

must be old as hell

but generally no

unless you rushed your app

[azure bloom]

Imagine procrastinating applications to places u are gonna spend 4 years at

[undone summit]

no i submitted like weeks before. well prepared

[mint root]

then ur fine

i submitted bu back in december

[undone summit]

bu even sent a email asking if i want to change to ed2

[mint root]

they sent that to everyone

like all the rd apps

[undone summit]

yeah

[mint root]

ur good fam just wait until decisions drop

[undone summit]

i mean i wish if they would guarantee full ride

[undone summit]

yep 36 more days

[tranquil pasture]

gl all 🙂

[junior hawk]

me when i started it a day before it was due 🤞

[junior hawk]

interning on star wars is wild

[rich bay]

Peer tutoring program huh 👀

[fervent hazel]

bro i'd love to intern at star wars what

[weary helm]

Bruh how does that happen?

[kind cosmos]

If they accepted 3100 t’would would be 3%

[tranquil pasture]

yeah they have to account for yield

so it's more like 12,000 get in

or some range within that

[weary helm]

Wait so when’s regular decision date?

[tranquil pasture]

idk lol i withdrew

[warm yoke]

March 25

[viral crypt]

What’s the rd acceptence rate lookin like

[azure bloom]

at least 1

[viral crypt]

Def less than 100

[viral crypt]

I didn’t get that email

[weary helm]

Facts 🤩

[weary helm]

Me neither

[junior hawk]

ed1 acceptance rate was 30% i believe but i assume it gets lower for each deadline

[digital iron]

It does get lower but the application pool is bigger 🙏

[azure bloom]

Which makes the acceptance rate lower ?

[digital iron]

Yeah because it was only 30% for ED because there was like 3k applicants

RD prob will have like 80k plus or something

[azure bloom]

Oh wait I read ur message wrong

Lol

[distant crest]

But don’t they give consideration for the deferred people or don’t they give a shit

[rich bay]

Did anyone applying RD submit updates?

I emailed admissions asking how to submit updates a few days ago and haven’t gotten a response

[weary helm]

Like midterms?

Your counselor is supposed to do that I’m pretty sure

[rich bay]

no like updates to awards and ecs

[stoic rampart]

bu is incompetent

[stoic rampart]

You can upload a document with info to the portal under additional documents

You should also email it to your admissions counselor

[rich bay]

Did you do that under “other” as admissions

[stoic rampart]

I didn't but I checked the options and that seems most appropriate

[rich bay]

Ah alright

I’ll use that option then, Ty :)

[naive sinew]

anyone know the oos acceptance rate?

[distant crest]

What is oos

[naive sinew]

out of state

[distant crest]

Ohok

[naive sinew]

also when are decisions expected to come out?

[umbral pilot]

25th march

[weary helm]

It’s a private school so it doesn’t matter

[distant crest]

Why

[weary helm]

If it’s private it doesn’t use money from the state government

That’s why public schools are required to accept more in state than out of state because they’re using state funding

[lilac eagle]

same as in-state

[weary helm]

did anyone here get accepted to BU that wasn't in the top 10 percent?

[finite tree]

Doesn’t seem like uc does this

[weary helm]

I don’t know anything about the UCs

[open relic]

i didn’t hear back from them yet but this one person in my school got a full ride

she’s below average in stats n everything too

which i don’t wanna b a bitch ab but it gives me sm hope

[weary helm]

But she did early right?

[open relic]

early action

i believe

[weary helm]

I don’t think BU does early action

[pastel hollow]

bu does not have EA

[open relic]

then ed maybe

whatever came out this month

[pastel hollow]

prob ed2 then

[digital iron]

I’m not a top 10

[weary helm]

This gives me hope 🙏🏽

[distant crest]

Any IB students here?

[upper glade]

ME

[weary helm]

I was going to but was like nah it’s not worth it

[upper glade]

Tbh I’m not entirely sure how much IB really prepares me for college

Maybe it’s just my fault for literally procrastinating on all the IAs and the EE 😀

[weary helm]

Literally this week ALL the teachers made their IAs due

This week was literal hell for me

[timber raven]

NO LITERALLY SAME

like I'm fr going crazy

ee is due at midnight today wish me luck

[distant crest]

Around how many points u guys have?

[timber raven]

we don't do mock exams or predicted grades so I have no clue lol

[distant crest]

Oh

[distant crest]

That’s unusual

[upper glade]

We don’t do predicted scores either

[weary helm]

What’s the point if you don’t send predicted scores?

I thought that was always weird applying your predicted scores, and getting your actual diploma after you graduate

[distant crest]

Ikr

Then it’s better to just do IB subjects only for higher gpa

The burden of TOK, EE would not be there

[weary helm]

Good luck soldiers 🫡

You cannot afford senioritis 💀

[zealous hawk]

Is the Sargent college the hardest to get into

[fast sparrow]

Should I keep cs as my major or would I have a higher chance of getting into BU applying as undecided

also is it fairly easy to switch into cs at boston

[junior hawk]

yeah and questrom

[junior hawk]

it’s the same school so it wouldn’t be a difference really

[vestal island]

BU or Rutgers cs

[azure bloom]

BU but cost is a lot more

[vestal island]

U think it’s worth it ?

[azure bloom]

not rlly

[zealous hawk]

Fuck

Should’ve applied to CAS then

[digital iron]

Cas is in cs which Cas has the highest acceptance rate

Unless there is a cap on cs majors they take idk

[digital iron]

Where ever you have the least debt CS degree is essentially the same everywhere because in the end it is up to technical skill

[stoic rampart]

There's probably a cap but the competition probably isn't that high

[digital iron]

Idk CS is hot rn so there might be competition

10% more cs majors every year 😭

[stoic rampart]

That is true but it's not like T30 CS competition

Maybe a bit more selective than CAS as a whole

[digital iron]

Still a decent amount tho but yeah you right

It’s only a T40 I think within CS

[rose forge]

Rutgers if in state defo

Cheap asf and good alumni relations

[digital iron]

Still T40 is pretty good

[stoic rampart]

yea +1 for the debt thing

[rose forge]

Unless you’re rich than BU

[digital iron]

Orrrr

[stoic rampart]

cs prestige only matters for like t5

[digital iron]

If you are poor bu

[digital iron]

Very true

BU has pretty good cs programs

Out of class stuff

[rose forge]

Yeah FANNG only want mfs from MIT and Stanford

[stoic rampart]

Yeah I'm middle class even and bu is cheaper for me than top CS publics

[digital iron]

Yeahhh I’m lower class I am paying 8k a year to attend while at state schools it might of been more

[stoic rampart]

Eh it's more just that those students are top tier

Many, many people get FAANG with T100 schools

[digital iron]

It’s more like FANNG companies want to see an application where they apply themselves

They want to know you are committed at your field rather than the institution you went to

Blessing of need met schools if you have a low to mid income it isn’t too expensive

[stoic rampart]

Yeah

And if you're rich just gun for T30 publics

and really don't drop 80k on an ivy for cs

[digital iron]

Fr ivys have a higher ceiling tho so sometimes they give out some money to people in higher income brackets

[stoic rampart]

That's true

Tho if you don't get any aid you should reconsider

[digital iron]

80k on cs tho is crazy because people don’t realize the prestige won’t get you the job Lmao

[stoic rampart]

Yeah exactl

[digital iron]

Only reason I can see someone doing that is either they have the money or just want legacy 💀

[stoic rampart]

Fr

If you're that rich or wanna plan that far ahead then sure

Realistically the only ivy that is probably worth full boat is Upenn wharton

because the connections will actually take you places

[digital iron]

Good friend of mine got accepted into UPenn the first round it’s crazy like the higher colleges have such a high income bracket that ppl sometimes get payed to go their

Like he getting money to go plus another one of my friends that got into UChicago

[stoic rampart]

Damn

Must be nice

[rose forge]

Harvard has god teir alumni relations. Everyone that goes there is kind of a NPC tho so not sure you’d want to be working with them lmao

(Joke btw)

[azure bloom]

when are decisions

[stoic rampart]

Seems accurate

[stoic rampart]

Same as every other school

Late March to early April

[azure bloom]

theres no specific day?

[stoic rampart]

TBD

[azure bloom]

damn ok ill call Mr. Boston and ask him

[stoic rampart]

W

itll probably be march 31st or april 1

i think they got a ton of apps

[azure bloom]

can you ask them to do it in 2 days

[stoic rampart]

Last year was March 26

Ofc

Ill just call up ms. boston

[finite tree]

Looks like March 25

That's good news

Disregard what i said

[finite tree]

i forgot the date but it was 3/26 i think

[stoic rampart]

#1050906059683930184 message

Swear that was due ages ago💀

[fast sparrow]

So is my application incomplete?

[rich bay]

Yeah I’m pretty sure they require it

Submit it as soon as you can

[deft cairn]

[distant crest]

25th could be the best or worst day of my life low key

[deft cairn]

So yes?

Ight thanks!

Comes out 3/25

[distant crest]

Today is 3/3

Did you get into UIUC for CS?

[finite tree]

Lmao we both got it wrong

I thought today was 3/1 and you thought today is 3/3

It’s 3/2 in America rn

No I got in for ee didn’t apply cs

[distant crest]

Electrical engineering?

[finite tree]

yes

[distant crest]

Then why bu?

UIUc is better right?

[finite tree]

i applied here before my decision

i applied rd

[distant crest]

ohok

[sudden ether]

lmao i didnt get any email from BU

do they just dislike intl students

oh nvm i got it and it went to spam

[fringe crystal]

So if you’re going to UIUC please withdraw😉

[true ocean]

How would that affect anyone lol

Decisions are already made Ig

[distant crest]

I dont think so

[finite tree]

no

[fringe crystal]

Nah I dont think so either, they got like another week😌

[true ocean]

Why lol

[finite tree]

First off I’m not committed to uiuc

And second

I paid the app fees and wrote the essay

So I am not withdrawing

[true ocean]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[finite tree]

Y’all are selfish if you are really telling me to withdraw

[true ocean]

Nice ans ; I’ll give same ans to others

[true ocean]

Hmm at times it’s seems like that lol

I’m in same boat as u

[digital iron]

It takes like 1 spot but I mean if you haven’t committed anywhere no reason to withdraw

[tardy harness]

When does RD come out

[sharp stirrup]

March 25th apparently

[weary helm]

It’s confirmed March 25th

[tardy harness]

thank you !!

[weary helm]

Do anyone know what time decisions will be released?

[distant crest]

😭

You seem too excited

[weary helm]

Im not I swear

I just have a competition the same day and those are like all day things

[distant crest]

You should be😭, it’s BU

[distant crest]

Oh ok

[weary helm]

Wdym I should be 😭

[distant crest]

It’s BU bro, who wouldn’t be excited

[umbral pilot]

will they also include the trustee/presidential scholarship decision in the letter?

[distant crest]

Have no idea

[umbral pilot]

im international so 85k per year is just ☠️

[distant crest]

Oh same international too😭

[umbral pilot]

mutual trauma 🤝

[distant crest]

But getting in is more of a big deal for me

[azure bloom]

85k is domestic price?

[weary helm]

Probably cost of living as well

80k for tuition, dorm, and food

[azure bloom]

No I meant

Is domestic price the same as intl

[austere needle]

I hope so

I wrote that in such a rush

i hope it turns out okay

[mint sky]

ugh 20 more days

i cant wait any longer

[distant crest]

Same

The wait is so intense😭

[weary helm]

Enjoy life while you can

[distant crest]

True

[austere needle]

no but like

what if I enjoyed life now

with an acceptance from bu

[undone summit]

oooooooo who let him cook 🔥 🔥 🔥

[flat grail]

Bro I’m so fucked

I’m cs applicant

And im screwed

[severe rock]

Yes

[lilac eagle]

why

[flat grail]

Bc cs= extremely competitive

[lilac eagle]

so? you could still get in. you never know. :-)

[undone summit]

BU admits by school not major

[flat grail]

I’m sure there’s a lot of people applying for cs in cas lol

[undone summit]

Yeah I’m one of them lol

[distant crest]

me too

[digital iron]

Cas has a high acceptance rate like 15% during rd so you prob good

[flat grail]

15% is not high 💀

[distant crest]

Ikr

I applied CAS also

Why does BU look less hyped in Reddit n stuff

Very few people are talkin about it

[flat grail]

Bc cs is not too popular in BU

And Reddit is filled with Cs kids

[distant crest]

That’s great

Hopefully no one applies

[flat grail]

Lol

[austere needle]

please

[distant crest]

Bro does BU defer for no reason?

Did many people here get deferred?

[austere needle]

I didn’t ED

[rose forge]

Did anyone send a loci or just a continued interest letter even if they applied rd?

[digital iron]

A few I think 1 or 2 other people got in during the ED2 round

[rich bay]

Thats’s only something you do if you get deferred or waitlisted, no?

[austere needle]

You can send it just to demonstrate interest

[flat grail]

I feel like they have already made their decisions tho so there’s prob no point now

[distant crest]

I dont think so

Why would they wait 1 month then?

They could already release it

[flat grail]

Probably just finalizing decisions now

[distant crest]

Is there anything that I can do

I want to get in so so so so so bad

[flat grail]

Idk you can still send one

[distant crest]

What?

I already sent a LOCI before

[flat grail]

Loci

Oh

Then just wait

You can’t do anything else

[distant crest]

Yup I think if it down to luck, I will get in

I am a lucky person ig

I hope😭

[flat grail]

When did you send the loci?

[distant crest]

like 3 days after I got deferred

[flat grail]

Oh ur fine then

[rich bay]

That's pretty weird lol

[flat grail]

I have visited campus once, sent email for requesting information about the courses, and went to an information session when one of the representatives came to my school

[weary helm]

Imagine having a representative come to your school

Couldn’t be me 😭

[azure bloom]

bro I know my representative

[weary helm]

My regional AO is hot thou

[flat grail]

Ayo?

[azure bloom]

proof

[distant crest]

Im so nervous

I want them to release decisions already😭

I just wanna see either a rejection or acceptance

[weary helm]

I honestly don’t care at this point

Rejected or accepted I’m getting zooted that night

[distant crest]

ikr

Im crying eitherway

stats?

oh

nice

F my life

nah nothing

[weary helm]

4.3 weighted?

[distant crest]

obviously

I think I should jjust dip out this group at this point

I dont think I stand a chance

Just got baited because I got deferred

do you guys think full pay can make a big difference? or is BU too rich already

[weary helm]

Don’t lose hope! Deferred people still get in!

[distant crest]

but my stats are low?

there's just a massive upward trend

[flat grail]

If your stats were low you would have gotten rejected

[tardy harness]

Was it a mistake to submit a 1450

[distant crest]

thats why even I was surprised

[flat grail]

Don’t think so

It’s in their average I believe

[tardy harness]

Okay good

[weary helm]

Did you go test optional?

[tardy harness]

@vocal wagon what did u submit

[distant crest]

Anyone else visualising getting accepted or rejected and getting emotional?

[tardy harness]

i have a 3.86UW 4.52W 1450 SAT

so I hope it’s fine

[distant crest]

I think your stats are great

[flat grail]

I think you are a little too attached to college lol

[distant crest]

bro, I need this shit

college is the label next to my name for the next 4 years

[flat grail]

I’ve already visualized getting rejected

Lol

[tardy harness]

thank youuu

ooo nice

[digital iron]

That’s good Lmao

I went test optional and had a 3.9 UW prob like 8 aps at most

[tardy harness]

does BU have EA

[digital iron]

That’s crazy good damn 😭

[tardy harness]

Or just ed1 ed2

[flat grail]

No

If they did I would apply 100%

[digital iron]

ED1 and 2

[tardy harness]

Yeah I would’ve done EA

[weary helm]

My school as 3 APs🤩

[flat grail]

Bro what 💀

[digital iron]

I mean if that’s all they offer

[tardy harness]

I lowkey just reused a supplement for BU

[digital iron]

If the why BU supp was something you can find within a 5 min search it will def make a difference in the admissions

[weary helm]

I think my essay is pretty good

[flat grail]

Wdym?

[weary helm]

Like good or bad?

[tardy harness]

oh wait was it a why us

then prob nvm

i don’t even remember what the BU essays were

i applied kinda early

[digital iron]

It’s bad if you can find info on a why us supplemental in 5 mins

[flat grail]

I just wrote about their research and courses

[digital iron]

Yeha it was why Bu was the supp

[tardy harness]

I’m a god at why us essays

[tardy harness]

Ohh ok

[flat grail]

And clubs and organizations

[tardy harness]

Let me re read mine

[digital iron]

Should be aight then

You don’t really need anything crazy

[distant crest]

I went a whole unique path

[digital iron]

I applied ED1 tho so might be different I was like average tho imo

[distant crest]

I didnt write about courses n stuff that they have

I wrote about their clubs

while addressing their location and good education

[digital iron]

Mine was over clubs, courses, professors, and how I would utilize the resources there

[distant crest]

same

cause finidng courses on google did not feel unique

Or it has to be a specific thing that only BU offers, and I dont think there's anything like that

[sharp stirrup]

i talked about study abroad and clubs and related it to something im involved in now and would like to continue doing in college

i mentioned one course but it related more so to a club and something i do now

[weary helm]

I talked about a professor’s research so hopefully that’s good enough

[vocal wagon]

Same, I wrote about what I'm doing now and what I'll do in the future with the help of BU

[tardy harness]

Cheesy

[sharp stirrup]

yup i mentioned something similar in mine

[rich bay]

I did the same and wrapped it around the college of engineering’s idea of a societal engineer to show how my values and the work I’ve done connect to societal engineering and will grow at bu

[digital iron]

This ^

[sharp stirrup]

i ended it off in like a future note kind of thing

like my experiences will help me etc

[flat grail]

Bro I wish I could write like you

My writing is so ass

[azure bloom]

bro had to flex the ice in there 😂

[tardy harness]

Wait that’s so nice of u to say but I’m very sure ur being hard on urself don’t sweat it

[tardy harness]

Noo I swear I’m cringing

I reused the same concept like 6 times tho

So it better not make them cringe

[undone summit]

So real

[azure bloom]

@tardy harness bro if u get accepted without any aid you know why

[tardy harness]

Wdym

[azure bloom]

I was just joking cuz of the jewlery thing in the essay

[flat grail]

Lmao

[tardy harness]

LMAOO

Fake gold sometimes 😋

[weary helm]

Oops that’s an L for me 🤣

I wrote that I visit my mom’s village in Indonesia every summer but I only go there like every 5 years 💀

[hexed lagoon]

when saying the number of APs you took does senior year count as well?

[undone summit]

Yes

[hexed lagoon]

is 20 APs/IBs with a 3.6 fine 😭😭

[undone summit]

Holy 20 😭

How

[undone summit]

With 20, a 3.6 is def good

[azure bloom]

@hexed lagoon who are you trying to show off to by taking 20 aps

[median ember]

Bro I wrote about fanfiction ☠️

[rich bay]

20 is very overly excessive…

[hexed lagoon]

my school is way too competitive people take 15 on average 💀💀💀

[tardy harness]

bruh

i have 11 wtf

and that’s above average for my school

how is ur avg 15

to be fair tho we weren’t even allowed to take any APs until soph year

and even then we only had 3 options sophmore yr

[undone summit]

dawg i have less than 1/3 of that with 6ap's 😭

[hexed lagoon]

people can take up to 4 APs freshman year 😭😭😭 (i didn’t)

[rose forge]

Kinda hot ngl

[rose forge]

They are need blind so it shouldn’t matter

[digital iron]

Holy fuck

😭💀

[flat grail]

What the fuck 💀

@distant crest what are your stats if you don’t mind me asking?

[iron void]

BU pls take me in

[distant crest]

37 ib points predicted (3.6w🥲🥲)

[distant crest]

.

[flat grail]

Thanks

[distant crest]

What do you think 😭

[weary helm]

18 more days 😤😤

[flat grail]

Well you are international so I don’t really know

But you got deferred for a reason

Thats all I can say

[distant crest]

Yup lowkey

[kind cosmos]

what 😭

[flat grail]

I meant in a good way

As in they didn’t get rejected

[stone scaffold]

When will they release rd decision?

[lilac eagle]

[junior hawk]

[azure bloom]

do you have friends

[flat grail]

I hope you were able to touch grass

[rapid vault]

3 hr of sleep a night go brrrr

[coarse dirge]

Dude is a robot

[flat grail]

If he doesn’t get accepted I don’t know who will

[undone summit]

Idk with this many classes, how does he have time for extracurriculars

In terms of course rigor aspect, he def checks all the marks

[flat grail]

Yeah I’m assuming he has some sort of ecs

[junior hawk]

you are not a real person

[flat grail]

Is BU need blind

[weary helm]

Yes

[flat grail]

Ok good bc my npc is cheap af for this school lol

[azure bloom]

What if you don’t get in

[flat grail]

They are need blind so at least they won’t consider the Net cost when making a decision

So I don’t have worry about that

[azure bloom]

Ok

[azure bloom]

ik its a little fruity to say this but all of the townhouses being part of the campus is cute

I would love to live in one of them but they probably cost a shit ton more

[weary helm]

you mean bay state road?

[azure bloom]

ye

[quiet grotto]

hii backreading

[distant crest]

Guys, I didnt get the email from BU saying that the decisions will come out on 25th

was that considered as a likely?

[median ember]

...

No

[distant crest]

then why didnt they sent me that

Im a deferred applicant

[azure bloom]

Umm lol?

Was that a joke

[median ember]

Did you check your spam?

It doesn't really matter lol

[distant crest]

yup

its not there

[median ember]

Alright well, maybe they didn't send it to you cause you got deferred or smthing. That's definitely not a likely.

Nothings a likely other than a likely letter itself

[distant crest]

oh

does someone know if BU sents likelies or not?

[sudden ether]

Lmao I wish

[median ember]

Idts? Normally, the people who get likely letters are the top 0.5% who would've gotten in ED/EA anyway.

[distant crest]

oh bye

Ive accepted my fate

[median ember]

Why?

[distant crest]

Why tf would they take me😭

[median ember]

Most accepted students don't get a likely letter?

It's not normal. Likely letters are truly rare.

[distant crest]

oh I didnt know that

[sudden ether]

Is it that small a percentage though

[median ember]

Don't trust a2c. You only see the top 1%. The rest don't get likely letters and get into top colleges

It depends on the school

[sudden ether]

I heard it's somewhere near 10%

[median ember]

Nah

Some schools only send out 20-30, some send out upwards of 200

But when you take the whole admissions pool of 60k + people

It's super low

Some schools don't even send them out :>

[distant crest]

then lets hope for the best

[median ember]

Sure! But just remember that you can get into schools/get scholarships without getting a likely.

[distant crest]

do you think they made the decision already

[median ember]

I don't know

[distant crest]

I dont even need scholarship, I lowkey just wanna get in😭

I get what you mean

[median ember]

Yeah. Don't stress out about it too much! It's a big deal, I won't deny that, but it's also super exciting to see where you'll be going next year

[distant crest]

Yup true

[fossil summit]

Yeah, try to distract yourself with hobbies or something for the time being

[junior hawk]

no they dont

[open relic]

Heavy on the DONT trust A2C

I don’t even read the Reddit anymore

☠️

[weary helm]

In general don’t trust A2C or Chance Me

All the ppl on there are like top 1%

[austere needle]

Exactly so

[austere needle]

100%

[open relic]

And still don’t get into they colleges and blame it on “yield”

Just say u boring 💀

[iron void]

i am manifesting BU

[boreal quarry]

Did BU have supps 💀

I swear I don’t remember writing any

[modern jacinth]

yes they do

i remember writing why bu

[azure bloom]

They did

[boreal quarry]

Oh god

[azure bloom]

One for honors college too

[boreal quarry]

Were they optional or req

[azure bloom]

The main one wasn’t

[boreal quarry]

Damn I guess I didn’t do it

[flat grail]

There was a main supp essay

It was why BU essay

[austere needle]

Yeah

And then there was a trustee scholarship essay a couple of other optional ones too

[boreal quarry]

Ah shit

Don’t have it in my drive
Either I wrote it and forgot abt it or didn’t write it lol

[weary helm]

If you wrote it shouldnt you have like an online copy of it

Like a Google doc

[rare herald]

i hope its trolling

i somehow bagged neu so i think i can bag bu

[plain summit]

is the bu decision date the 25th?

[fervent yoke]

Yes

Dont know what exact time tho

So im gonna be checking every 5 minutes

[plain summit]

^

[rare herald]

^

i feel like its gonna be in the early afternoon

ill ask my friend who got in rd what they say

[mint sky]

Just check common app

[boreal quarry]

Applied via qb

[mint sky]

Ah

Then idk

[wise oxide]

qb rd didn't have any supps for bu

[boreal quarry]

Okay bet then

[flat grail]

Bruh why

[austere needle]

Cuz u have to fill out an app to do qb to begin with

So they send that on to colleges

[flat grail]

Oh ok

[boreal quarry]

Real, QBs essays were like 1x 800w, 2x 500w and some mini supps

[neat dune]

Does anyone know what TIME BU is releasing on the 25th?

[austere needle]

No

[distant crest]

youre getting in for sure

My assumption is based on ur gpa and SAT.

[quiet grotto]

judging from my school's admission data they like stats

3.95 and 1550 is like 80% acceptance rate from here lol

[weary helm]

Is that what you had?

[quiet grotto]

pretty close ?

my gpa was like a decent bit worse

[tardy harness]

anyone know what time decisions will come

@quiet grotto do u rmbr what time decisions came out for u

[distant crest]

2am

[quiet grotto]

i got the funny phone call

so i didn't check asap

[digital iron]

They usually come out 6pm their time

[torpid bay]

i got the call too and then portal updated next day at 6 PM

est

[boreal quarry]

The day of decision or prior?

[quiet grotto]

day before

[tardy harness]

do they do the call for RD too

this is the first time I’m hearing of ppl getting a call lol

[torpid bay]

for ED2 they gave some students a call for their acceptance a day before portal updated

[tardy harness]

do they do that for RD

[sudden ether]

what if you missed the call

[weary helm]

We just gotta realize that we’re all living on a rock lmao

[sudden ether]

thought they would reject you over it

like a QTE

[junior hawk]

they drop decisions from like 4 to 6 pm

[junior hawk]

its a student so they should text you

they did it for ed1 too so i assume they would for rd

its only for minority students tho

its part of their diversity program or something

[weary helm]

One more week we got this guys

[umbral pilot]

for international too??

[digital iron]

The calls and text are for a limited amount of students plus it’s for minority students only

[open relic]

If they accept high gpa im not getting in lol

[austere needle]

Just check ur Naviance

Idk ppl around my stats get into bu for my school

[open relic]

My school isnt on naviance

Ik 2 two people who got in but their gpas are higher
