Boston University (2023-2024)

[north warren]

maybe not

[manic vigil]

yea u got yield bro

[stiff oak]

i saw some insane applicants get in too

[manic vigil]

cuz Ik CMU and UVA are much better CS schools than BU

[stiff oak]

like i got WL ed too

[main wigeon]

pretty sure BU yield prots if you show no interest

[stiff oak]

oh

[main wigeon]

i probably only got in since I attended a webinar

[stiff oak]

ok thats why

i showed 0 interest in the schol

[manic vigil]

even I am going to UIUC instead of BU

[main wigeon]

ill double check though

[manic vigil]

cuz BU aint good for CS imo

[main wigeon]

yeah they consider interest

[silk widget]

wait is BU that bad for CS

[main wigeon]

you can honestly just attend the best of boston webinar and instantly have a chance at bu, neu and tufts LOL

[main wigeon]

uiuc is just insanely better tbh

[manic vigil]

BU vs NEU, which is better

[manic vigil]

Yea

same

[stiff oak]

BU imo

[silk widget]

i heard someone said NEU was better

[main wigeon]

if you want coop neu

[stiff oak]

depends on tbe field

[silk widget]

whats coop

[main wigeon]

its honestly personal preference tbh

[manic vigil]

I got into both, and I am not going to either, so imo I would so NEU

[stiff oak]

inteenship

[silk widget]

oh

[main wigeon]

you take a term off to go to work

[stiff oak]

you get real workforce wxperience or sumthing

[main wigeon]

saves on tuition as well

[stiff oak]

by getting time

to do whatever

[manic vigil]

they have that in UIUC as well

[north warren]

Cmu #1 and UVA t20 I tbjnk

[silk widget]

bro BU lowkey expensive

[manic vigil]

yea

go to CMU bruh

[silk widget]

i dont think i got any aid 💀

[stiff oak]

cmu bruh

[main wigeon]

all privates in boston expensive ash 😭

[manic vigil]

u got the best already

[stiff oak]

cmu better

[manic vigil]

CMU IS the best

[north warren]

Same different but NEU Has coop which is good for job placement

[glad bramble]

60% of the 2028 class was accepted ED so it was pretty competitive this yr for rd

[stiff oak]

like MIT elvel

[north warren]

everything else is literally same shit

[main wigeon]

still like 6k spots more or less for rd

[silk widget]

yea rest of us RD applicants were fighting for the remaning 40%

[manic vigil]

I didn't apply to CMU cuz I thought I wouldn't get in, and I am prob right, with a 1470 sat, its a wonder they took me in UIUC/BU/NEU etc

[glad bramble]

and all of the deferred ed 😭😭

[main wigeon]

nah were at the same ballpark dw

[stiff oak]

dont downplay urself gang, im sure they saw something in u

[manic vigil]

idk man, this app cycle, was HARD ASF

[stiff oak]

i have high sat and it has not proven beneficial to mostnplaces

[north warren]

I didn’t get into all 3 (well I didn’t apply UIUC)

[silk widget]

i got low sat too

[manic vigil]

did u see the competition this year

[main wigeon]

1500 vs 1470 aint much but I still got into bc, bu, and uva

[silk widget]

and it doesnt matter

[stiff oak]

i had a 1590 and got eejected oberlin

[manic vigil]

there is a difference imo

[stiff oak]

lol

[silk widget]

i got in w 1450

[main wigeon]

depends where you got affected though

[silk widget]

really sat doesnt matter

[manic vigil]

true

[glad bramble]

i got in BU without submitting it

[main wigeon]

spiked math kinda carries ngl

[glad bramble]

and thank god for that

[manic vigil]

It matters bruhh

[glad bramble]

cause i did awful

[north warren]

it matters

in some cases

and doesn’t in others

[stiff oak]

i think in soem LACs

they care

because they want to raise the avg sat

[main wigeon]

mainly for merit imho

[silk widget]

andrew do u have any more LACs to hear back from

[manic vigil]

I also didn't apply to any UCs also

[silk widget]

or nah

[manic vigil]

but now I am thinking I should hv

[stiff oak]

hamilton

[silk widget]

ight bet

gl

[main wigeon]

but if you can get 780+ in one component unless its like less than 650 you might as well submit

[stiff oak]

NO demonstrated interest at all

[glad bramble]

UCs were rough for my school most of the best students were getting rejected

[main wigeon]

ngl i feel like some people forget that youre supposed to show interest in yield protect heavy schools and wonder why they get rejected 😭

[north warren]

I got 770/740 m/r

mid as hell

[stiff oak]

ucs went well for a good amount of us

at our school

[north warren]

I did a bu tour under a different email 😭

[glad bramble]

thats so interesting

[stiff oak]

our econ class had 6-7 ucla admits

[north warren]

what else was I supposed to do

[main wigeon]

nah mine is just as mid as yours 780m 720e

[stiff oak]

and 3 early uc berkeley

[main wigeon]

wait thats unlucky 😭

[north warren]

1500 tho so it don’t mayter

once you break 1500 u are in the same comp

because it’s holistic admission

[stiff oak]

if ur cs ur marh should be higher than 750idh

math*

[north warren]

well yeah that’s mad easy

[stiff oak]

which you both had

[north warren]

that’s fair

[main wigeon]

barely broke 1500 my retake was like 1450 when I was trying to get 760 for english and I was like yeah its not worth it anymore ill just work on other stuff 😭

[stiff oak]

i took the sat like 5 times lol

[north warren]

My first time was 1490 and second 1500 superscore 1510

[stiff oak]

fee waivers clutching

[silk widget]

bro english is so hard

[north warren]

didn’t study so it was chill

[main wigeon]

yeah but 740-760 english would be nice though

[stiff oak]

1360 firrst time

[glad bramble]

took it once then saw my result and gave up

[north warren]

English is so fun

[stiff oak]

1160 psat

english the best

[north warren]

I could’ve gotten a higher score but I didn’t study grammar rules

I just wing it

[stiff oak]

same

[main wigeon]

grammar rules was the bane of my existence as an intl

[stiff oak]

well i wing it only

[north warren]

whatever feels right in my gut I press

that’s literally it

[stiff oak]

u gotta read it out loud

thats the meta

trust

[north warren]

yea there’s just mechanics you have to know

like when you use a dash there has to be another dash

[stiff oak]

i got 2 wrong on math kn the easy level problems LOL

[north warren]

which is stupid because that’s only for a specific clause

[silk widget]

english sat is actually my #1 opp

[north warren]

I use dashes once all the time

[stiff oak]

so close to perfect

[silk widget]

i was so close to perfecr for math

[north warren]

because im a good writer so its like why you limiting grammar rules when they aren’t even like that

[silk widget]

i calculated slope wrong bc idk

[stiff oak]

his gpa was pretty decent but course rigor a bit lower

and no crazy ec but 1 leadership position in a sport

[stiff oak]

ive noticed very little "insane" applicants get in

[north warren]

I think it’s just people who almost break the boundary for being cracked

[stiff oak]

[silk widget]

that means im not cracked

[north warren]

No

As in I think that’s special

[somber cove]

[burnt hawk]

Extracurriculars and good essays

[patent niche]

WHAT?????

[amber mortar]

and this server has more accpetances than rejections

[patent niche]

I have not watched the video yet

[amber mortar]

[patent niche]

Ok A2C is a weird sample group though

[unreal terrace]

Yesss even I was shocked 😭😭

That's their Dean of admissions saying that too 😭

[patent niche]

Like everyone here is an ugh of a try hard to join a discord about college

[unreal terrace]

😭😭

[patent niche]

I’m so flabbergasted. I wonder wtf the honors college admit rate was

[unreal terrace]

I joined it thinking this would help me in my journey as an intl but I'm only active during decision dates bruh 💀💀

[unreal terrace]

Trueee 😭

Man this makes me happy that I got admitted somehow haha

Although mostly I won't be going :/

[amber mortar]

[patent niche]

Yeah same

[unreal terrace]

People who got waitlisted, dw I got your back 😎

[patent niche]

But the validation is nice!

[unreal terrace]

Hahaha truee

Would BU be considered a reach?

[patent niche]

Same haha

[patent niche]

Uhhhhh idk

[unreal terrace]

Ohhh alright

[patent niche]

(I never understood how ppl determine reach and stuff)

[unreal terrace]

Sameeee 😭

My college list is downright insane tbh 🤣

[patent niche]

Same 😭

Mine was lowkey just a couple safeties and targets

And then just a ton of super reaches

I’ve made choices 💀

[amber mortar]

[unreal terrace]

I didn't have a safety I guess 😭

Is UW Madison a safety?

[patent niche]

Idk????

Again

[unreal terrace]

Sameee 💀☠️

[patent niche]

I am clueless

[unreal terrace]

Ohhh alright

[patent niche]

[patent niche]

[unreal terrace]

Ohhh do you mean emails?

[amber mortar]

[unreal terrace]

Hahaha understandable 😭

[patent niche]

I got 10

Waiting on

[unreal terrace]

Ohhhh so how far would that number be from the no.of kids accepted?

Would be around the same right?

[subtle hemlock]

yield

[unreal terrace]

Maybe a hundred more or something

[subtle hemlock]

think of yield

wait what

[unreal terrace]

What's the yield percentage for BU

[patent niche]

Probably double

[subtle hemlock]

probably quadruple bgl

ngl

[unreal terrace]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

[unreal terrace]

Ohhh wow

[subtle hemlock]

if bu’s yield is 25%

[patent niche]

Oh yeah you’re right I’m thinking of LAC yield

[subtle hemlock]

which is generous

[unreal terrace]

It's 27%

[patent niche]

Ok so quadruple then

[subtle hemlock]

yeah so around 8-10k accepted probs

[unreal terrace]

Alright so around a 13% acceptance rate

Which matches Google's 14%

Seems about right

[subtle hemlock]

13-15, yeah

[unreal terrace]

Thankssss

[marsh spade]

What’s this website?

[subtle hemlock]

def not 4 percent thats like harvard

[unreal terrace]

Yeahh my bad fr

Anyways guys gotta sleep now

Thanks for the help

[subtle hemlock]

have a good sleep

[patent niche]

Gn!

[unreal terrace]

Byeeeee

[velvet trail]

its just my personal notion lol

[marsh spade]

Notion?

[patent niche]

It’s this organizational website

You can make different templates and stuff

[north warren]

What

UR JOKING

[crystal meteor]

i think 3.3k is their intended class size

[vernal swallow]

what’s typical aid for bu kids

ik google says around 20-30k? (for 110> income) but idk how reliable that is

[velvet trail]

yeah its an app

[molten oak]

yeah exactly

they have a class size of 3300

but with yield rate of ~27%, they admit many more

[zinc bluff]

yeah last year 11k were offered admission

[molten oak]

yeah it would be close to 11-12k

if 27% yielded

[timid notch]

Grrrrr

[burnt hawk]

It’s ~140 out of 3300 admitted students

So 4.2%

[patent niche]

Goddamn. Yield is prob pretty low though I would guess

[burnt hawk]

How tf did I get in 💀💀💀💀

[patent niche]

because you are cool and BU sees that duh

[burnt hawk]

This is insanity

[burnt hawk]

Nah dude you don’t understand

[unreal terrace]

Yeahh sorry I misinterpreted what she said. My bad.

[unreal terrace]

You're right

[worn wadi]

4% AR in BU wtf

Matching the ivies???

[crystal meteor]

nono it’s higher than that 😭

[desert star]

its around 11-13%

proabably around 8-10% for RD tho

since they have ED1 and ED2

[crystal meteor]

yup 10.7% for rd last year i think

lwk one of my goals this admissions process was to get into a school w a <15% acceptance rate

so ty bu for making that happen

[desert star]

fr same for me

[worn wadi]

I say this

[worn wadi]

.

It's from the dean

[desert star]

Yeah because 3300 is the amount of spaces they have

Obviously everyone that is accepted will not be going to BU

Actually the majority won’t go

So the amount of students accepted is always higher than the actual amount of spaces that are available

[simple steppe]

we got yield prot

[dusky apex]

cope

[high egret]

has anyone gotten into kirchland?

[simple steppe]

im going to cmu so idc

but ppl who r barely in the top 5 percent of my class got in

[simple steppe]

^

[molten schooner]

a bunch of people did

[dusky apex]

i was jk i got rejected asw

[high egret]

do they have separate housing for the honors kids?

[dusky apex]

a lot of decisions left but wven as things stand i wouldve gone to one of colby/bc/mac anyways

[molten schooner]

i think so?

[simple steppe]

I got waitlisted

[burnt hawk]

yes

[burnt hawk]

yes

[amber mortar]

most of the 11% acceptance rate are in htis server apparently

[dusty grove]

what's the chances of guaranteed transfer?

like acceptance rate wise or whatever it technically is

[leaden reef]

When does the trustee scholarship decision come out? Is mentioned in the letter?

[timber mulch]

it came out w acceptances already

[leaden reef]

Oh okay. Got in but my decision letter doesn’t mention anything ab scholarship. It’s like they forgot I applied for trustee

Did anyone here get the trustee scholarship?

[timber mulch]

two people on this server did

i don’t think they formally say u were rejected

i got presidential and they just said “you were considered for other scholarships”

[vernal swallow]

do yall think bu is going to extend their commit deadline? my letter said to commit by may 1 but ik other schools are extending to may 15

plus i think fafsa got delayed for the umpteenth time again 🤩 🤩

[leaden reef]

Ah okay. That’s disappointing

[upbeat frost]

Guys do u know where to find cute BU merch 😭 i need a shirt/sweater for my school’s commitment day :/

[crystal meteor]

does bu send admitted student packages

[gusty fable]

yeah im curious as well im tryna collect admitted students packages like infinity stones

[patent niche]

the real reason to apply to college fr

[crystal meteor]

facts i wish i applied to rit just cuz my friend got this cool tiger thing, socks, & a shirt

[molten schooner]

wtf

bro i should've applied

they kept emailing me but i didnt wanna apply to any universities that had technology in their name as a humanities major

[crystal meteor]

LMAO i got sm emails too but didn’t apply cuz i was like i’m never gonna go here

[sturdy saddle]

No

[topaz seal]

I got into bu and honors college but I won’t be able to afford it 😭 I don’t think they’ll give me any aid

[timid notch]

Sus

[molten oak]

not even a letter?!

[sturdy saddle]

Nope

[sturdy saddle]

They’re pretty generous with aid tbh

[crystal meteor]

BRO what nooo

[vernal swallow]

is the calculator accurate for estimating it??

[sturdy saddle]

My aid was even better than what the npc said

[vernal swallow]

oh zamn

do you think this will apply for high income families?

my parents make a lot but the issue is that we're also supporting family overseas too

well

not an issue

more like a catch idk

[upbeat frost]

Wait how do u already k ur aid??

[robust hearth]

You click on Finaicial aid decision on the portal

[sturdy saddle]

ED

[sturdy saddle]

They haven’t posted aid for RD admits yet

It’s coming mid-April

You can call the financial aid office and they’ll tell you your aid offer though

[robust hearth]

When I click on it it says I was given 10400 need based

Still 80k tho

[sturdy saddle]

Weird

[sturdy saddle]

Real

[robust hearth]

It says it was based off CSS and that fafsa is needed just to confirm income and stuff

So I think aid offers are out for some people maybe?

[upbeat frost]

Ohhh

[tidal zealot]

What's the most appealing and unappealing parts of BU for you?

[topaz seal]

The campus isn’t amazing but its location in Boston and how there is so much access to public transport is great

Also the academics are very strong of course and they have a lot of international students which is pretty cool and a smart student body

[vernal swallow]

its joever

im out of town for all the student orientation dates

except the ones that are reserved for fysop

💀

[honest spoke]

depends, for me my aid was only half of the estimated aid.
But since fafsa isnt yet so it might be changed

[pliant jasper]

How are BU dorms?

Can't really find a LOT of information about it

[sonic creek]

Where did u see urs?

[desert star]

there is alot of videos on youtube

on the official BU youtube channel

students give tours

[pliant jasper]

I mean from current students, are they worth it?

[desert star]

well most of the videos were recorded maximum 2 years ago

so it shoudlnt really be that outdated

[honest spoke]

For a while, i did ed2

[sonic creek]

Oh okay ty for answering

[restive pasture]

anyone committing to bu?

[desert star]

Almost

Just waiting for 2 more

Decisions

If those fall though

It’s BU for me

[restive pasture]

[eager cave]

my friend said someone’s when ppl get rejected from BU they send emails explaining how they think they should be given a second chance or some shit n rarely someone will look at it n get them in

how true is this

[lost iron]

true to a certain extent, its not like you should do this, mostly if u believed u were absolutely more than qualified to get in beyond a reasonable doubt and this is ur #1 school you would of ED if it werent for money issues

otherwise dont

ur just making urself look silly

[unreal terrace]

Wbu aid? Do they give aid if you ask for it 😭 For internationals I'm asking 😭

Gosh I sound stupid, ignore that comment sorry 😭

[lost iron]

idk i didnt get in lmao

[simple steppe]

well guys!

[timber mulch]

feeling grateful for my scholarship😭😭

[eager cave]

boston university: “you can transfer after two semesters of strong work at another accredited university”

does this mean i complete two semesters of freshmen year at a diff college n then apply for a spring transfer to sophomore year 2025, or do i complete one semester at diff college n then apply for a fall 2024 semester transfer into sophomore year

[simple steppe]

you have to complete two semester at freshman year

hey if ur applying for 2025, same here dude! same boat as u

but yes u do need to be at another college for at least a year

[eager cave]

ohh got it

[eager cave]

do yk how competitive it is

[simple steppe]

in 2023 the ar for transfer was about 11%

[eager cave]

damn

why everyone saying BU transferring isn’t too bad

[mellow timber]

You need to attend another college for a year and get at least a 3.0 gpa (community college counts)

And if so then you are guaranteed to be accepted as a transfer at BU

[eager cave]

mine isn’t guaranteed

i have to reapply

but when i do reapply i can be an incoming sophomore right

fall 2025 incoming sophomore?

[mellow timber]

Can you send me what your full letter says (you can just dm it), cause i’m not sure if they’re telling you it’s guaranteed or if they just worded something weird

[eager cave]

yeah i’ll do it in a sec

my friend said sometimes when ppl get rejected from BU they send emails explaining how they think they should be given a second chance or some shit n rarely someone will look at it n get them in

is this true?

[mellow timber]

I’m not sure

[simple steppe]

can anyone with knowledge about either BU or NEU check the x vs y page or the international students page

[burnt hawk]

Make me love BU

[subtle hemlock]

the campus is a road

[burnt hawk]

No but like actually tho

[tidal zealot]

What does that mean?

[oak belfry]

NYU moment

[subtle hemlock]

it means the campus is a road

[azure blaze]

good research

good access to a big city with lots of things to do i guess

um my cc said they treat their students better than northeastern does?

that cs building looks rlly cool and that church or chapel thing also looks really cool

close to a lot of other schools too

boston is just a cool place in general

[burnt hawk]

Tyyyyy

[burnt hawk]

Did anyone get an acceptance package yet

For RD

[desert star]

I thought they didn't send anything

[burnt hawk]

WHAT

[desert star]

Yeah

I think they only send stuff if you enroll

Correct me if I’m wrong

[sharp wagon]

my friend who got rd got this email

Dear Parent:

Congratulations! You must be very proud of (name)’s many accomplishments and admission to Boston University. With an admit rate of 10.7%, this has been an extraordinarily competitive year for admission to the University and we are confident that (name) will be a positive addition to our community.

like damn

[twin gust]

Lol

They are sending but didn't give me enough aid

[desert star]

oh it goes further than that

then they list out bullet points on why (your child) should attend BU

[eager cave]

how important are my hs grades if i wanna transfer to BU as an incoming sophomore?

[dawn vault]

will BU release any waitlist decisions before may 1 or no

[simple steppe]

I bought mine from their bookstore

[vernal swallow]

how do external scholarships work for bu? do they deduct the external scholarship amt from your need based scholarship/federal loan amt?

or is that only if the external amt exceeds the school's provided aid amt

[dusky arrow]

If any of yall tried appealing your financial aid by uploading the form, do you happen to know if they email you back or you just need to check your portal for updates?

[vernal swallow]

what did ppl even write for their appeal forms i need help w mine 😭

[dusky arrow]

Idk but I’m hoping begging works. Also don’t forget to submit today, the website says to submit by 4/15 to receive a reply before 5/1

[fleet fossil]

did bu waitlist come out for anyone

[cold bison]

I haven’t gotten anything yet 🫠

[fleet fossil]

anyone hear anything for bu waitlist rn?

[coral condor]

its been rolling out i heard a few kids got off yesterday

[simple steppe]

i know 4 ppl who heard back ye

[eager cave]

can i apply to BU as a sophomore transfer if i got rejected as a hs senior

[subtle hemlock]

you can apply as a freshman transfer too

[eager cave]

how

[simple steppe]

u just... apply

wdym

you just apply as a transfer student instead of first year student

[subtle hemlock]

lol thanks

[tame thistle]
