[zenith token]

[molten schooner]

🤭 🤭🤭🤭

i wanna be an a2c mod so bad but i won't apply until im done with senior year because god a2c is too distracting just as a participant

also i got like warned twice so maybe need to prove my good behavior streak before applying lol

[spark reef]

[worthy token]

it just went away after i reloaded after 10 min

but they definetley are working on the portal rn

[spark reef]

thatws good

[zenith token]

😭 lmao I COULD TELL FOR REAL

[zenith token]

💀

ur always well behaved lmao

[molten schooner]

you're the goat

[zenith token]

[molten schooner]

i got warned twice for nsfw 💀

and im mean

so im not well behaved LOL

[zenith token]

wtf 💀

when did u send or talk about nsfw

[zenith token]

UR SO NOT

ive literally never seen u be mean

to anyone ever

[molten schooner]

lets not bring that up 😭

[molten schooner]

i mean

not mean mean per say

but bullying mean kinda?

there was this one sophomore i was lowk mean mean to tho lol

but in my defence if you're a sophomore in a2c you're literally asking for it 🙄 /j

[zenith token]

💀 💀

feisty

fr

[zenith token]

ong

freshmen or sophomores

have no rights

in this server

[molten schooner]

me who jioned as a sophomore

i only became active in senior year tho

[zenith token]

LMAO

i only joined the summer before applying

[molten schooner]

i was very invested in college during 10th

[zenith token]

damn why

[molten schooner]

i wrote the sat then

and needed something to procrastinate online classes

so i'd just google a lot

[zenith token]

oh fair enough

lMAO

wish i procastinated by doing college research

[molten schooner]

LOL

it was not healthy btw

so

be happy you didnt

[zenith token]

oh

😭

[molten schooner]

yeah i went a bit too deep on a2c

and prepscholar

[knotty hatch]

lmaoaooaoa

i joined right towards the end of my early submissions 😭

[untold crane]

quick question

can you show demonstrated interest after youve applied

[worthy token]

yes

[untold crane]

great thanks

how should i show it for BU LOL

[worthy token]

attend info sessions, email an AO a question, attend tours, early decision, join email list, do virtual tour

[untold crane]

i mean i cant do early decision if ive alr applied

but that's good advice thank you!!

[worthy token]

oh i didn't know u were this year

[untold crane]

OH yeah i applied rd

[alpine arrow]

Ngl this is so true

I have spent an unhealthy time on a2c

[worthy token]

dude wtf they keep changing the "recieved" text on the checklist from bold to unbold like what

and yes, this is my 12453th time refreshing the portal today

[knotty hatch]

u need a hobby ngl 😭

[main crater]

i wouldn’t count on when bu dropped their ed2 decisions previous years, i applied ed1 and i was told previous years that it was released on the 10-12th and i didn’t get mine till the 15th at like 6pm

and constantly checking your portal is only gonna make you grow grey hairs, just wait it out 😭

[surreal pollen]

does anyone know when bu ed2 is coming out?

[molten schooner]

omg hii phloophie how are you

[alpine arrow]

Smrithi!!!

I’m good!

Hruhru

[scarlet tree]

I can confirm ED2 released this week. That’s all I know.

[molten schooner]

surviving lol

[zenith token]

when’s middlebury coming out cryptodude

[scarlet tree]

It’s out. Rejected.

His GPA is low. 3.55 UW. And mid 1400. So it’s been a tough cycle.

BU is probably a long shot RD with ~90k applications. It’s like NYU 2.0.

[zenith token]

really sorry to hear that

[zenith token]

it's not too bad, i'm sure he'll end up somewhere great

[zenith token]

i wouldn't say BU is as competitive as NYU at all

i think BU is way less selective, especially for people without a 4.0 gpa

[dawn vault]

i agree

in the navaince for my school a lot of people with 1400s / 3.8s get waitlisted or accepted for BU

but no one really gets accepted to NYU unless they have an SAT above a 1500 at my school...

[scarlet tree]

True. He applied ED1 to NYU Stern.

He probably would have had better chance with liberal studies.

With FAFSA not being processed yet, waitlists at a lot of schools could be interesting this year.

[zenith token]

stern is brutal for sure

[scarlet tree]

What do you guys think about submitting an application late. How late is too late? If the schools still have the apps open.

[molten schooner]

it's a risk you should be willing to take. id say anything over 4 days past deadline is a waste of time. within 4 days itself isn't a great look but colleges have grace periods so you'll likely be considered. don't take my word for it though

[vagrant grove]

F

[scarlet tree]

Middlebury just started to seriously work on DEI, so probably for the best.

[vagrant grove]

you never know hopefully they get into a better place during the rd round

[scarlet tree]

His supplemental essays are rough. So he definitely needs to find the proverbial empty bucket.

[zenith token]

what are his other top choices atm

[scarlet tree]

Notre Dame, UF (instate) and Emory

[zenith token]

oof

notre dame is TOUGH

emory too

[scarlet tree]

For sure

[zenith token]

not sure about UF in state

never researched on it

[scarlet tree]

He is right at the cut off with the 3.5

[zenith token]

ah okay

what about sat

[scarlet tree]

Close to 75 percentile

Naviance makes it seem he has a chance but really needed a 3.7 uw to feel better

[zenith token]

oh nice

[zenith token]

how are the essays looking

tho

[scarlet tree]

For UF good

[zenith token]

okay thats good

[scarlet tree]

But the other schools the essays were forced.

He got a lot of negativity at school and it clouded his judgement to aim higher with confidence.

[surreal pollen]

Ed2 today possibly ??

[scarlet tree]

This week 💯. I confirmed it.

[vagrant grove]

fuck

i forgot to upload financial documents

i sent my senior grades w commonapp

[vagrant grove]

[molten schooner]

No you need to email

[tranquil citrus]

Wdym w commonapp

I thought school have to send official transcript til mid-year to college seperatly

[vagrant grove]

[vagrant grove]

[static warren]

[spark reef]

[surreal pollen]

[spark reef]

[sturdy saddle]

ED1 came out on a Thursday

[surreal pollen]

Oh dam

Istg the admissions r just teasing us atp

[zenith token]

source: trust me bro

[spark reef]

better than nothing

[worthy token]

I’m pretty confident it’s Thursday

[knotty hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/freedom-server-vuni-boston-university-loona-gif-26185702

[worthy token]

Some student who works in the tech department or something at BU leaked it or sum

Saw on Reddit but maybe he’s capping

[knotty hatch]

for what it's worth i think about you at least once a day and i genuinely hope u get into boston 😭

every day i've seen u talk in this channel and ur username and ur nickname and like

atp change ur pfp to BU logo too

[tall sable]

Get in boys

[worthy token]

I hope bro

I think I’ve spent 10+ hours staring at the portal refreshing it

If I don’t get in I’m probably just gonna go to my state school lmao but it’s whatever

[sharp wagon]

nvm-

[worthy token]

Why nvm? Did you find some new information out?

Oh you said that yesterday

[thorny pollen]

does bu accept application updates? like can i email them w/ a new achievement/award or does that not fly

[tranquil citrus]

when will the result come out

[worthy token]

Today

[scarlet tree]

This week

💯

[wheat kayak]

ok now i think today 6pm

if not ill just forget about it for like 3 days

[tranquil citrus]

Whats ur timezone

[wheat kayak]

est

so in about 11.5 hrs ish?

[worthy token]

Portal down

[tranquil citrus]

Again?

[worthy token]

And now it’s back up wow

[tranquil citrus]

Why they just dont email us when the result comes out

Bruh

[worthy token]

I think they do but that’s after it’s been on the portal for a while

[tranquil citrus]

Oh

Thats why ppl keep refreshing potal frist

First*

[sharp wagon]

i heard that applytobu posts the notification announcement pretty fast so prob looking out for that

[worthy token]

Damn if it’s dropping today I feel like it should be down by now

Istg if it’s not today

Everyone told me it was today

[sharp wagon]

same

but the portal glitches are so unpredictable

[worthy token]

For anyone from ed1, how long was the portal down before decisions came out?

I thought it was 6pm today but the portal isn’t down rn

[spark reef]

does it really have to be down right before?

[worthy token]

I would assume so

[main crater]

it was only down for a few minutes, but tbh i forgot abt it and then checked when bu sent me an email saying to check my portal so honestly i would suggest you wait

[worthy token]

Oh shi really

So it’s just gonna go down like 5 min before it drops

alright then yeah it’s probably today

[worthy token]

Is the portal down for anyone?

[surreal pollen]

not that i know of

[worthy token]

I'm going to lose my mind

[surreal pollen]

6 or 8?

[worthy token]

wdym, timewise?

[surreal pollen]

yea like when itll release

[worthy token]

I was assuming 6 but I feel like the portal would be down

[surreal pollen]

hmm then prob 8

[worthy token]

I doubt they would release it that late tho

[surreal pollen]

wasnt ed 1 at 8?

[worthy token]

I have looked at past years and its never later than 6

[surreal pollen]

oh

[worthy token]

No? i dont think so

[surreal pollen]

then ig we'll c

i think since it went down two days ago

and the whole empty check mark thing

means they dont need much time when they shut down the portal if they choose to shut it down at all

[worthy token]

yeah I looked at past years and its only like an hour

but it should be down at 5

and released at 6

[worthy token]

@surreal pollen where did you hear 8?

[surreal pollen]

i think my friend read it online on reddit or smth

just all pure speculation tho ig?

[jaunty swallow]

this guy lives in the boston uni thread

lmao

[strange tiger]

Could someone maybe call the admissions office

I called earlier and they said they didnt know

[worthy token]

they r closed

[strange tiger]

Oh ok

[worthy token]

????

u asked them if its coming out today and they said idk?

[surreal pollen]

ive heard so many diff answers

[strange tiger]

Yeah

[worthy token]

thats a pretty good sign cuz i called like 8 times a couple days ago and they said mid febuary and basically nothing else

[surreal pollen]

i feel like the admissions counselors either dont wanna say or they r just oblivious

[strange tiger]

They said there would be no warning and they would just email when decisions come out

[worthy token]

did they say the portal would be down?

[strange tiger]

I didn't ask that

[worthy token]

did they say what time

or anything else

[strange tiger]

No just that it would come soon but they don't know when

[worthy token]

u called tdy>

?

[strange tiger]

Yeah earlier

[surreal pollen]

im rly rooting for u here man

u seem so stressed

[worthy token]

yeah i called

they didnt pick up

it was just a voice saying its outside of their horus

[worthy token]

gonna be so geek when I get rejected even tho Ive been living in every single BU online discussion of the past 6 years and named my account terrier2028

[surreal pollen]

is terrier their mascot or smth?

[worthy token]

yes

[surreal pollen]

o nice

noo u gotta manifest the acceptnce

[strange tiger]

I wish BU gave a warning on when decisions come out

I feel like most colleges do that

[worthy token]

ive litterally reached my deepest low of my entire life obsessing over it not able to do anything

[surreal pollen]

what other colleges did u apply to?

[worthy token]

like 14 but really its just this or stateschool tbh the other ones arent really worth the money for me

maybe george washington ig

or college of the holy cross

but most of them i wouldnt consider going to

unless i get a big merit award

[proper kayak]

I hope it's today

[worthy token]

Please

[proper kayak]

I'm not thinking it's today

[worthy token]

Fuck dude please

[surreal pollen]

That’s fair

[strange tiger]

What time was Ed1 released or ed2 last year?

[worthy token]

6

[strange tiger]

Do you know if BU ever released past 6 for any cycle?

[worthy token]

from all the previous cycles I've looked at, no

god this makes me so frustrated

[strange tiger]

Ok, so probably tommorow or early next week

[spark reef]

no hope for today?

[worthy token]

i dont think so

fuck

[scarlet tree]

It’s this week 100%

[worthy token]

bro ik

[strange tiger]

Probably tommorow at 6

[worthy token]

im gonna lose it

[scarlet tree]

Is Naviance down at anyone’s school?

[spark reef]

mine is fine

[jaunty swallow]

my sources have told me tmr

[worthy token]

You have no sources

[jaunty swallow]

😔

[scarlet tree]

It's either today, tomorrow or Saturday. 100%

[worthy token]

I don’t think they would release on a weekend?

[jaunty swallow]

then its tmr

[strange tiger]

Yeah probably tomorrow or next Monday or tuesday if things are very slow

[jaunty swallow]

simple

[spark reef]

didn't mit or somewhere do Saturday for ea

[worthy token]

I dont know I just highly highly doubt BU releases it on a weekend when all their offices are closed

[jaunty swallow]

mit this year was thursday for ea

[scarlet tree]

I agree, its probably tomorrow. If it's next week, then there was a problem with systems to release decisions, because decisions have already been made.

[spark reef]

idk then but i remember somewhere releasing them on a Saturday

[spark reef]

hopefully earlier than 6?

[scarlet tree]

If I work at BU on Friday before the Super Bowl, I am releasing at 230pm to beat the traffic.

Then login to work remotely for all the kids calling about waitlists

[tranquil citrus]

When will it come out 🥲

[jolly depot]

blud please relax

[vagrant grove]

down again ?

[sharp wagon]

mine's fine though

[proper kayak]

Mine is fine too

[tranquil citrus]

Will it come out today

[worthy token]

Probably

[tranquil citrus]

I wish

Kinda tired of waiting now

[sharp wagon]

ok im gonna study now

even though its almost like 1am in my time zone

ill forget about it for 7hours

[vagrant grove]

same

i just wanna move on to look at other Ed2 results

atp

[vagrant grove]

mine is still down , i love life

[worthy token]

Damn

All of ours are up still

[vagrant grove]

:(

[tranquil citrus]

@vagrant grove dont refresh the down one

And try with new link

[vagrant grove]

ahhh there we go

didnt know it was broken like that

[tranquil citrus]

😉

[worthy token]

Ohh yeah

I realized that a couple days ago too

It does that lol you gotta go back into the original applicant link and try

I called and they said "within the next few days, they don't know yet"

But I would take it as a grain of salt I think no matter what they r just gonna stir away from answering the question

[sharp wagon]

imagine it comes out 15th lmfao

[worthy token]

there's just no way

we are already later than its come out in the past several years right now

[sharp wagon]

yeah true

the lastest date ik is like 10th on 19-20 year

[vagrant grove]

we better get it tonight

i wanna get 3 acceptances from really amazing schools in the span of 24 hrs

already got 2 bu would make it 3

[sharp wagon]

that would be amazingg

[tranquil citrus]

come outt

[worthy token]

some kid on reddit tried to tell me he got his but he was just being a troll

his tag said class of 26 and if u look at his post history and evverything hes already in college

[molten schooner]

last year uchicago ed2 came out feb 10th so people expected feb 9 this year but its coming feb 16

so its v possible you could get a delay

[tranquil citrus]

True

But i wish why they just tell us when they would release it like UIUC

[worthy token]

the thing is is that this guy on reddit went on the megathread and the bostonu subreddit and told everyone he works for like the tech department as a student or something and said he was notified that it would drop thursday

he got all our hopes up

[vagrant grove]

v sad

anyway yea hopefully it comes out by monday

[worthy token]

I genuniley believe he works there tho and that he got notified that it was thursday. his post history matches up. I think that boston just got an unexptected delay

[vagrant grove]

i mean ehh

doesnt matter

atp

24 hrs here or there

[worthy token]

all his posts were about helping people with tech questions and stuff

ranging for a while

at boston

idk

[tranquil citrus]

Hm

Do they annouce during weekend tho?

[worthy token]

i highly doubt it

id say probably today or monday

[tranquil citrus]

Hm

Plz today

[vagrant grove]

oui oui

[tranquil citrus]

It will be today

Has to be

[worthy token]

yeah from my research it will just go down like only an hour before it drops

so the fact that its not down rn doesnt mean it wont drop today

I think it goes down at 5 and drops at 6

if its not down by 5 then im gonna assume its not today

[tranquil citrus]

Like 3 hrs later?

[worthy token]

?

maybe ur in a different timezone then me

[tranquil citrus]

Wats ur timezone

[worthy token]

im EST

i live in boston

[tranquil citrus]

Ah

So in 5 hr

[worthy token]

Yo guys the glitch is gone for me

The blank checklist thing

[tranquil citrus]

[spark reef]

[worthy token]

We just have to pray

[worthy token]

The portal is down; this is end game

good luck everyone

[surreal pollen]

Good luck to everyone 🫡🫡

[worthy token]

decisions are out

[scarlet tree]

you in?

told yall

[strange tiger]

I got deferred, didn't know they did that

[scarlet tree]

stats?

[strange tiger]

My school doesn't have gpa's but mine is around a 3.7 UW

[scarlet tree]

test optional?

[strange tiger]

Yeah

I thought they just accept, reject, or waitlist ED2

[scarlet tree]

For everyone reading this, Dartmouth and Yale confirmed test optional is truly not optional, if your scores were in the 50th percentile in 2019, submit

I expect schools to deviate from the norm with waitlists and deferrals, given that FAFSA still aint out till next month

[simple steppe]

bu decisions are out?

[scarlet tree]

ya

[jaunty swallow]

yeah a college admission person told me that if you go test optional they automatically assume it's bad/worse than their school average and its harder

[scarlet tree]

BU is lenient on the GPAs, which tells me they like cracked scores

so if you were in the range 2019 and your GPA is meh, it probably good to submit to bolster

[simple steppe]

@worthy token did u get in?

[jaunty swallow]

@worthy token

[simple steppe]

this got me curious ive been waiting for bu decisions for this man

[scarlet tree]

what was his stats?

[jaunty swallow]

i felt like bro would've said something if they got in though

[simple steppe]

is bro ok even

😭

[scarlet tree]

guys chill it's BU

[jaunty swallow]

i want BU so bad bruh

that 4 year dual degree program sound so fire

[scarlet tree]

go to community college save your parents 65k and transfer in next year, if you need it that bad

[spark reef]

got in

[simple steppe]

im chilling im a transfer student

[scarlet tree]

transfer acceptance rate is 30+%

[simple steppe]

yo congrats!

[spark reef]

no more thinking about college

thanks

[scarlet tree]

nice!

[jaunty swallow]

congrats

[simple steppe]

have fun in boston fr

[scarlet tree]

spent two years in cambridge, some of the most memorable years of my life, enjoy!

learned how to swim at BU pool. lol

[surreal pollen]

Congrats to everyone !!!

[scarlet tree]

@simple steppe what program did you transfer into?

son is thinking of going to a trade school, so just thinking of options if he doesn't like it

[spark reef]

thats something i wanted to do in hs but covid made our year get swimming waived

[scarlet tree]

did laps at the Latin School, meet some cool people there

[surreal pollen]

What weee ur stats? @spark reef

[simple steppe]

im still in community college, im looking into BU, BC, and NEU (suffolk uni is my top safety)

[scarlet tree]

ok cool

[simple steppe]

OVERALL, would prefer northeastern

[scarlet tree]

is NEU D1?

[simple steppe]

idk im not an athlete

but their law school is t30, same with boston uni so either way id love to get into one of them

[azure blaze]

was this ed1

[spark reef]

3.7-3.9 somewhere + school reputation for rigor mightve helped (public tho not private)

[scarlet tree]

@meena T15 is all that matters, outside of that go where you want to practice and <$$$

[azure blaze]

3.4 1560

maybe a chance

[scarlet tree]

i think so

[spark reef]

didnt really have much of a good trend since i trolled a lot on hw

[azure blaze]

I did rd here

and I have an upward trend

[simple steppe]

well theres harvard law obv haha, i do wanna go to harvard law

but its nice to have a backup plan

[scarlet tree]

i remember someone asked me, do i go to NEU or suffolk full ride

obvioulsy suffolk

[simple steppe]

suffolk university is so nice

ill be happy going there regardless

[scarlet tree]

everyone i have ever met from suffolk are super chill

now that ED2 is out, when is RD?

[strange tiger]

Does anybody know if BU deferred ed2 last year?

[worthy token]

Deferred

And I’m not getting in RD I have a terrible mid year report

Bye BU

[strange tiger]

What are peoples stats that got in or deferred?

[worthy token]

I would have rather have been rejected

[jaunty swallow]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

all hope is gone

[worthy token]

Once they came out, I drove to the beach, played sad music, rethought how much my parents sacraficed for me and how I failed them and how i knew i am about to get rejected. I hotspotted my laptop, opened it up while some elderly couple stared at me (probaly because of how bad my parking job was). Anyway i got deferred

[jaunty swallow]

happens to the best of us

[worthy token]

Bro did anyone get rejected? i dont think a single person got rejected

defer is pretty much rejection to me tbh

they actually defered like everyone shits crazy

@jaunty swallow @simple steppe @surreal pollen did anyy of u get in?

[jaunty swallow]

i did rd

[simple steppe]

im alr a college student lmao

[worthy token]

at BU?

[simple steppe]

no i plan on possibly transferring next spring

[worthy token]

oh

[simple steppe]

im gonna campus tour first to see if i like it

[wheat kayak]

shit

its out

omg

[worthy token]

bro im so fucked for this defer, I might just not even right a LOCI. There quite litterally is no hope

i bombed my mid year report cuz i went into this deep dark depression about BU and the decision in the first place. litterally haven't been lower. ironic how it probably is the reason im gonna get rejected

I wanted to atleast get into the CGS thing dude

@sharp pebble u get in?

[sharp wagon]

I GOT IN

OMG

slay

[worthy token]

congrats dude

welll done

[sharp wagon]

thank youu

[worthy token]

ive seen 3 acceptences like 7 defferals and no rejections

[leaden reef]

don’t stress out too much. there are plenty of students(like me) who’ve applied rd w very bad stats. I’ve also talked to a few people w similar stats as me who’ve applied just for fun. I’m sure you have a high chance of getting in rd.

[worthy token]

bro I got a C, my mid year report was my worst semester of all of highschool. Idk how thats supposed to convince them to let me in after defferal bro.

[hardy shale]

trust me things happen you just need to let go for now and let admissions do their work

im in the same boat except i didnt ed1/ed2 anywhere but i am relying on my rd decisions

[worthy token]

Bro 💀 it would make no sense for them to let me in if they didnt let me in now, my application has only gotten worse

[hardy shale]

the anxiety is insane at times but ive gotten better at enjoying the moments of senior year and not just counting down days until my decisions or overthinking my app. i promise its gonna be ok no matter what happens

[hardy shale]

you never know

i am a firm believer in mid years just showing that you didnt just fully stop trying in senior yr or only sign up for hard classes for the looks

i would only say it's over if you got Ds and Fs, one C isn't going to break everything you've ever done

[worthy token]

na bro its done

[hardy shale]

just try not to dwell on it, again enjoy senior year

you cant change any future decision by stressing, so just try to have fun now and good things will come

and a lot of us are in the same boat and i am someone who went thru a rlly depressing month after getting rejected from my dream school but im better now w this mindsetttt

[worthy token]

Might just join the military, ship me off to ukraine bro.

[main crater]

[leaden reef]

I still think you have a chance w rd but you can always choose to transfer from whatever college you go to

[worthy token]

im good with the transfer. How could I have a chance. My senior semester is like a 3.2 gpa im not even lying

[leaden reef]

I’ve talked to people w lower gpas who’ve applied rd

[worthy token]

[spark reef]

anyone have experience with asking them about aid? i got ~7k less need based than the npc said but idk if i wait or not since fafsa is delayed but theres ed commit deadline

[spark reef]

congrats

[honest spoke]

It’s crazy I didn’t even turn in my sat because i got a 1290 and my unweighted gpa was 3.80

I thought eastern universities would weight standardized tests more heavily

[tranquil citrus]

lol i got deferred too

[worthy token]

gg

[tranquil citrus]

do they even reject

I dont think so

[worthy token]

it feels like they dont but i saw someone on reddit who did

[tranquil citrus]

ah

hmm

[worthy token]

god i dont wanna deal with like 4 months of college admissions im going suicidal dude holy shit

its not even i wanted BU that bad I just rly wanted not to being dealing with this college shit anymore lmao

[tranquil citrus]

same

can you ed2 other school when you got deferred? lol

[azure blaze]

um i mean i dont see why you couldn't in theory

[azure blaze]

dude you didn't even get rejected you just got deferred

[tranquil citrus]

he wants acceptance result asap

but deferrel is basicially another month for him to suffer lol

[azure blaze]

yeah i mean i got deferred like 4 times already

[worthy token]

i mean u would have to email them to change ur rd to ed2 cuz all the ed2 deadlines r past. I was thinking about it but all of the colleges i would wanna ed2 to r releasing in like a week so i doubt they would take it.

[azure blaze]

yeah probably not

i just ed2 to norhteastern after being deferred

[tranquil citrus]

same

[azure blaze]

i had a good midyear report and i'm not bound by ed if its not my first choice campus

[tranquil citrus]

thats what I was trynna do

cause northeastern result comes out late feb

does ed2 right now works?

[azure blaze]

um

if you mean change your application category

you can't do it anymore

the option is physically not on my portal

[worthy token]

i couldnt find an option in their portal to change from rd to ed2

i was thinking about pulling that shit too and going ed2 neu

[azure blaze]

no that option was only after being deferred

honestly i doubt you can do it now

since they said latest for ea was feb 15th and they did it in jan 31

[thick verge]

did decision come out yet for BU ed2?

[azure blaze]

they're probably two weeks ahead here too

yes it did

so that means they're probably pretty much done

[tranquil citrus]

ah

it used to have a option for ed2

but its gone in portal

[azure blaze]

yes

[worthy token]

does everyone defferred write a LOCI or is that something that college applicant gurus on discord and reddit threads online really know about

[azure blaze]

idk

i have a college counselor and he told me to do it

so

[hardy shale]

hopefully only rhe latter

lol

[thick verge]

@azure blaze did you get in

[worthy token]

yeah

[azure blaze]

i didnt do ed2 here

i did to neu

[thick verge]

[molten schooner]

[worthy token]

anyone get rejected?

[tranquil citrus]

Yea did anyone get rejected

[main crater]

my two friends got rejected

[worthy token]

i read on college confidential its like 5 percent getting rejected

but that that was kind of outdated idk

they definetley defer a shit ton

havent heard about that many people getting rejected

[tranquil citrus]

Same

Is it because there arent many regular applicants

[worthy token]

I think there’s a shit ton of regular applicants

I think they just wanna get all of their applicants at once to like compare everyone

[torpid cobalt]

why do u guys wanna go to bu

[vagrant grove]

Rejected

[tranquil citrus]

Wat..

[native otter]

What decisions is out rn?

Ed? Or rd?

[tranquil citrus]

Ed

[vagrant grove]

has been for hours

like i got this email like 5 hrs ago

i still dont understand why BU doesnt want me

v sad

[native otter]

Dangggggg

[tranquil citrus]

Same

[native otter]

Sorry to hear that

[tranquil citrus]

😦

[native otter]

I apply rd so idkk

Is very iffy too aha

[vagrant grove]

so far 3/3 ED rejected

[tranquil citrus]

3 ed?

[vagrant grove]

yea

[finite mural]

wait some people got rejected like straight up?

[vagrant grove]

ya all got deffered ?

[tranquil citrus]

Yea

[vagrant grove]

lol i got rejcted from two unis in the span of like 5 mins

first BU then Kings

[tranquil citrus]

😦

Sorry to hear that

[native otter]

Oof sorry to hear that as well

[worthy token]

At least you got 12 As

[vagrant grove]

5 of them are direct matchs from my school

which didnt give my first choice major

i have 2 qs t100 schools but both outside the us and hella expensive

rest are just safeties cuz ofc they are

[worthy token]

I’m sure you could switch into your major

[vagrant grove]

lol they dont even teach bme

soo deffo not happening

most of them are shitty LACs and Regional Unis

only semi decent ones i was matched directly were Uni of Adelaide and Uni of Technology Sydney but both for EE instead of BME

i think UTS does have BME but too expensive and i m half sure the offer already expired anyway

[misty mountain]

Congratulations to everyone who got in to BU!

[jolly depot]

go back to the beach, reflect on the writings of osamu dazai, walk into the ocean.

rush ashore coughing water from the deepest parts of your lungs, parts you didn’t even know were there. every breath is a sign to live for the sake of living and not for fucking boston university.

[simple steppe]

wow this made me wipe my tears away

[karmic socket]

whens BU coming out? like what week of march is most likely

[jaunty swallow]

wait rd comes out in march?

oh shit

[zenith token]

no shit

[jaunty swallow]

i just applied everywhere and forgot when decisions would come out

i tho it was late april or something lol

[twin estuary]

[misty mountain]

RD is in March

Comes out around the 23rd or so

[jaunty swallow]

oh man

[trim cloud]

any ed2 news?

[twin estuary]

didnt they come out 3 days ago, heard some people talking about it

[trim cloud]

did they

[azure blaze]

yes

[scarlet tree]

A bunch of defers

[hardy shale]

pls RD be nice...

[honest spoke]

quick question, to what degree of a bad grade will cause bu to revoke your admission?
are there any examples

The first semester i had all As, and im concerning that I might have a 2-3 Bs(AP courses) out of my 7 classes during the second semester of my senior year will affect my admission

[twin estuary]

I wouldnt be worried, getting straight Bs should be fine too - not that Im saying you should ofc

[astral flicker]

Nah that's fine

[summer bridge]

When can we expect RD pouring in?

[restive pasture]

prolly end of march

[tropic patrol]

last year was 3/26

[worn wadi]

Are RD students getting the merit schollys before the decision or with it?

[harsh glacier]

How would you get them before the decision?

[molten schooner]

with

[worn wadi]

Some EA kids for other unis got it before, no idea how

[harsh glacier]

That’s so weird

Imagine if you get that and then denied

[dense axle]

i forgot i applied here ngl

would love to live in boston but i know for a fact my supplemental was ass

[dusky apex]

is there a way around the SSN requirement for the css profile?

i left it out when filing the css for early apps and didnt know about the requirement then, idk if I should be putting smth like this in an update message

[karmic vigil]

How would you even know

email?

[honest spoke]

Merit are released in applicants portal along with admission letters

[tender mortar]

[zenith quest]

https://www.bu.edu/articles/2024/applications-for-bu-class-of-2028/

[hardy shale]

oh no RD please be nice...

[stark tulip]

im cooked 🔥

[hardy shale]

nahhh we got this

Every A2Cer is getting an acceptance I'm manifesting

[honest spoke]

78k apps and 3200 class size, dang

[zenith token]

ur tweaking

cos they accept way more

than the people who enroll

i feel like people ask this question every two minutes

there should be a ! tag for it

[burnt hawk]

Isn’t that super low

Damn I thought ppl liked BU 😭

Is it cuz a lot of ppl that get into BU also get into other t20s

[torpid cobalt]

we like bu just not the price tag

[molten schooner]

that's why we applied for trustee

[winged turtle]

don't u have to write an essay for trustee

i was like nahh im lazy and went for presidential lol

[molten schooner]

yeah but it's a fun essay

600 words yummy

[honest spoke]

i mean merit scholarship other than fullride is no different than need-based?

They reduce your need-based scholarship if you already have merit or private scholarship

[compact shuttle]

U couldn’t apply for all those scholarships if u applied in January right

Cus wasn’t that shit due in like November

[mighty scaffold]

December 1st

[molten schooner]

yeah but im not getting need based lol

[misty mountain]

Just thought I'll drop a couple of pictures that I've taken so far from this semester here at BU

[simple steppe]

my dream 😭

[misty mountain]

Hopefully you get in!

[simple steppe]

ahhhh im so nervoususus cuz i know transfer apps are different

no one from my school has ever gotten into bu

so im like

😭😭😭

[misty mountain]

Right, ironically my roommate is also a transfer

[simple steppe]

WHATTT???

from cc??

[misty mountain]

No, he took CC classes in HS, went to another college, and then transferred from there to BU

[misty mountain]

Maybe you're going to be the 1st one ever haha

[simple steppe]

I WOULD BE YES

WELL LEMME STOP

PROLLY NOT 💔

id love to connect with a bu student who transferred from cc

im pretty much like dying from stress about the whole thing

i fear im doing too little

[misty mountain]

Hey, I mean keep the hope up, you never know something surprising can come up

[simple steppe]

bu bu 🙏🙏

[misty mountain]

Yeah, it's actually insane for the transfer process, I'd probably overstress myself out from the process

[simple steppe]

im not too confident on it too which shouldnt be a mentality but

finding out that no student has ever transferred to bu here, as well as being surrounded by smarter, more involved people

was such a humbling experience

[misty mountain]

Transfer rates were abt 27% last year based on the Common Data Set from what I've heard

[simple steppe]

😭😭

[misty mountain]

Oh yeah, I've noticed that here in BU as well, people definitely put in a hell lot of effort. It's only my first semester here and there are days where I'm just studying for hours on end

Everyone really pulls their own, and I'm sure that's in your CC as well

[simple steppe]

oh man

what did ur roommate do to transfer to bu?

[misty mountain]

I have no clue, but he switched cause he wanted to do math instead of business

[low belfry]

hows the financial aid from bu?

[dawn vault]

Need-based its probably good considering the fact that its on questbridge

[honest spoke]

its ok, my scholarship covered 50% of the total cost

[native otter]

When does BU rd release?

[honest spoke]

late march early April on the school website

[jaunty swallow]

anyone know when rd came out last year

[tender mortar]

[knotty hatch]

March 25

[tender mortar]

[sour smelt]

what time have they historically come out?

[knotty hatch]

RAHHHHHHHH

[knotty hatch]

2022 it was 10 AM EDT

idk there's mixed answers

[sour smelt]

i can’t tell if 10am is great or despicable

[knotty hatch]

the two most common are: morningish EST or between 3-5 like most other schools

[sour smelt]

but it’s a saturday so i guess it’s better if it’s in the morning

[knotty hatch]

yeah i suppose 😭

if im awake !!

[sour smelt]

praying for morning bc i work in the afternoon/evening on the 23rd😾

[knotty hatch]

23rd 10Am expected

[spiral hollow]

This is my only decision left

[tender mortar]

You got USC Didn’t you?

Like you got in?

[spiral hollow]

Not that usc

University of South Carolina usc

Cause that's my state school lol

[jaunty swallow]

this guy

[alpine radish]

[tender mortar]

ahh

[manic vigil]

when is boston uni rd out?

nvm its 23rd

[jaunty swallow]

1 week!

[manic vigil]

uh huh

[mighty scaffold]

Bu or neu for applied math in yalls opinion

[zenith token]

bu or neu for business

in y’all’s opinions

[cunning cargo]

bu

neu rejected me

still salty

feel like bu's better tho

[glad bramble]

bu but im very biased

[ornate gulch]

is bu harder to get into than neu

[glad bramble]

i have no idea after this year neu was so stingy

[zenith token]

i feel like it’s not

[glad bramble]

i hope it’s not

i got deferred ed2 if they made me wait longer for a rejection i’ll be pissed awf

[harsh glacier]

From what I’ve seen, no

NEU artificially lowers their acceptance rate

Like like even as soon as 10 years ago NEU was just a normal school in Boston

I live just south of there and all the adults I’ve talked to about NEU all say how it was nothing as compared to today

[glad bramble]

boo 🍅🍅🍅

rhett if you hear me please save us rhett

[zenith token]

that’s true

[cunning cargo]

i feel like bu is more well regarded than neu

[glad bramble]

i agree

[knotty hatch]

same

[sour smelt]

go where the money is xoxo

but northeastern def has more of a “normal” college campus whereas BU’s is a lot more urban

either way they’re both great schools

[spiral hollow]

Legitimately saving best for last

Last decision and best school

[knotty hatch]

🔥 hope it goes well

[dawn vault]

Pls let me in BU

[simple steppe]

!bu

!boston

!bostonuniversity

[knotty hatch]

Suspected day?

[restive pasture]

It’s confirmed 23rd

[marsh spade]

Nice

[limpid arch]

does anyone the average ib predicted score for BU?

[simple steppe]

[limpid arch]

alr thanks

[bitter sonnet]

[glad bramble]

i’m not doing that to myself

going to be blindly confident

[molten schooner]

fr

[glad bramble]

believe in yourself

[carmine moth]

what's BU's acceptance rate?

[spiral hollow]

Like 19 or something

[eager widget]

14%

[spiral hollow]

I'm seeing ranges from 19-14-10

I think 10 is RD specific

[sour smelt]

last year it was 14.37%

[spiral hollow]

19 is outdated

[sour smelt]

it’s in their common data set

[spiral hollow]

Was that overall or rd

[sour smelt]

common data set is overall

colleges don’t typically disclose exact acceptance figures for different decisions cycles

[eager widget]

i’m guess around 12 for this year

[winged turtle]

i think it's lower

don't they fill like 60% of the class with ED or smt

[tender mortar]

ED is like 30% acceptance lol

they fill lots ED

[compact shuttle]

BU whennn

[tender mortar]

23rd

10AM est

A 10am rejection is gonna be fucked

[ember ledge]

wait how do you know the time?

[tender mortar]

always been 10AM

[ember ledge]

ah ok thanks

[compact shuttle]

10am??

Bro that’s during my lunch

Ima open it with my friends

Idk I hope I get in

I’m hoping northeastern wasn’t just luck cus I was rejected from stern + uva commerce and waitlisted at Babson

[ember ledge]

best of luck to you then especially

[compact shuttle]

Thank you! To you as well

[sour smelt]

23rd is a saturday

[floral ridge]

[tranquil citrus]

Same lol 😦

[glad bramble]

omg same

[floral ridge]

Did u guy send in any LOCI?

Guys*

[marsh spade]

They might

Unless you do something like a loci then obviously

[glad bramble]

ya i did

[tranquil citrus]

Nah

[burnt hawk]

Less than a weekkkk how are we feeling v

[ember ledge]

already accepted into uva, so chilling

[floral ridge]

if anything goes wrong i got northeastern

But i want BU

🥲🥲🥲

[mighty scaffold]

Literally same

[harsh glacier]

I'm so anxious about this decision

Ik BU is my top choice and if I get in I'm most likely going, so this is gonna be a long week lam

[glad bramble]

i’m also really anxious i get it

[marsh spade]

I got wl NE so I want BU. I rlly rlly want BU

[floral ridge]

i rlly rlly rlly want BU

Too

I m desperate

but idk if BU wants me

[half geyser]

I feel like I'll get rejected from bu for some reason now

[marsh spade]

Nah BUT wants all of us

I applied for that extra scholarship stuff too

So they know i want them

Or was it honors college stuff?

I don’t rlly remember lol

All I know is you had to submit by December 1

[glad bramble]

[compact shuttle]
