[tardy kite]

houses

[sour cliff]

You can survive if you live just far enough outside of Boston that you can still claim you’re from there

[tardy kite]

and summon them

inquire

about me

😼

[dire shuttle]

real

[sour cliff]

“I’m from Boston” -is like a 20 minute train ride away

[dire shuttle]

greater boston 😂

[unreal ore]

Lmaoo yeah

Like over here living in town is pricey

[winter delta]

is the ed really out??

i think this one is also fake..

bc my friend who didnt get the first mail got the second one

[opaque panther]

Not officially

[tardy kite]

yes

[tardy kite]

@dire shuttle

hi

[dire shuttle]

hello

[ocean coyote]

Oh nice, congradulations

[late vale]

The decisions are official though so yeah

[late vale]

same but I had to check with them and they said I was admitted

[spice yew]

WTF ANOTHER ONE??

[sour cliff]

YOU SCARED ME

SO BAD

I THOUGHT THERE WAS A THIRD EMAIL

[spice yew]

LMFOAKAOA IM SORRY

[sour cliff]

I WAS ABOUT TO JUMP OUT THE WINDOWSW

[spice yew]

NO I MEANT STATE

[sour cliff]

yes I am another one

[spice yew]

omg yay

hewoeh and i live in neighboring cities this is so funny

[sour cliff]

I might be neighboring too

😮

[spice yew]

wait dm

[ocean coyote]

Everett/Canton/Malden

Well Canton you gotta take commuter rail

Everett/Malden you can take the T

[spice yew]

these amt of kids from inner city bos ending up at neu is ridiculous i fear

not as bad w bu at my school actually but yeah no bos is expensive and the only way to have fun is spending money

[sour cliff]

Yall need to see the acceptances at BU from my school they’re ridiculous

They DO NOT want us

[autumn cave]

last we got like 5 ppl though ed around

5 more through rd but only 1 enrolled

[sour cliff]

Tima is literally the ONLY senior I know who was acccepted

Ed1 💀

And I asked like EVERYONE I could

[ocean coyote]

For my school, 7 people applied

2 got accepted (Including me)

[split dock]

Damn

[sour cliff]

I have like no hope rn

[autumn cave]

this year from my school I was the only one so I got in lol

[sour cliff]

Especially when I look at my stats I could of done better

[ocean coyote]

People who got rejected ended up going to UCSD, NYU, Purdue

The other person that got in, he went to USC

[split dock]

Nah dw

[autumn cave]

nyu is still good

[spice yew]

my schools rate is like 25%

[ocean coyote]

NYU Shanghai

[spice yew]

29/112

[autumn cave]

oh yea that’s acceptance rate a little higher

[split dock]

NYU Shanghai seems awesome

[sour cliff]

That’s so good wow??

[autumn cave]

would be fun to do a semester in Shanghai

[ocean coyote]

True but the only problem is that US Companies won't like a degree from China

[sour cliff]

I WANNA DO A SEMESTER ABROAD SO BADDD

[ocean coyote]

Europe, if it's like University of BC or Oxford or Cambridge or smth really really top

[split dock]

Good point

[sour cliff]

I’m considering so many places I can’t even pick.

[split dock]

Thought it was a year program tho

Is it 4 years?

[ocean coyote]

Nope, all 4 years

Ye

[spice yew]

my school is like an anti feeder to bc tho

[ocean coyote]

You can transfer from NYU Shanghai to NYU NYC, but the chances are insanely low

[autumn cave]

Oh damm

[spice yew]

7/59 which is ~11%, and for neu its 57/132 which was 43% 😭😭

[autumn cave]

Wait what ur major at bu

[ocean coyote]

Computer Engineer, but might do BME

[split dock]

How’s the course load

[autumn cave]

ohh

r u dorming at Warren

[dire shuttle]

I’m dead I ain’t ever see this chat so active

[ocean coyote]

Unfortunately yes

[sour cliff]

Right

[split dock]

😭😭

[dire shuttle]

😭

[ocean coyote]

Not bad, but I am taking a 300 class right now, as a 2nd semester freshman

That's not going... so well

[autumn cave]

I heard the construction is like loud af

[ocean coyote]

And the fact I joined on the 3rd week of BU

[ocean coyote]

I mean, I have 9AM classes for 4/5 days so I can't really tell

[spice yew]

wait what is floors 5-19 like of the data sci building cuz i saw an id reader when i went and had to turn back 💔

[sour cliff]

I haven’t heard a single good then about Warren ever 😭 except for how close it is to the buildings

[autumn cave]

what do u think is the best dorm for freshman

[ocean coyote]

It's mostly office. Some rooms are lecture halls, or projects. I have access to the 7th floor 24/7

It's really clean and nice

[spice yew]

ooo thats really cool

i was gonna do a hackathon at bu spark but couldnt go and was so sad ab it

(hopefully) going to buhhs tho

[dire shuttle]

rip phae

[ocean coyote]

I mean, you're either stuck with Towers, Warren, or West. West is the best, but it's like a 1.5 mile distance from most of your classes unless you're in CGS. Tower, not bad. Warren is the worst living condition, but there's a dining hall on the 4th floor, and it's in the middle of the campus

Personally, I got used to Warren around mid October and it's not bad. I'm considering to do Warren again next year

[split dock]

What are u thinking for housing next year?

Oh

[ocean coyote]

One of my friend asked me to join her group, I'm doing it

[split dock]

Okok

[ocean coyote]

There's like a 0.1% chance you'll get into StuVi

[split dock]

What was ur housing number do u remember

[ocean coyote]

It's an apartment style dorm. Private bathroom/shower, kitchen, oven, refridgerator etc.

[dire shuttle]

was it jas

[split dock]

Like the lottery number 😭

[ocean coyote]

Wdym

Oh, we don't know

We just need to pray once assignment gets released

[dire shuttle]

this gonna be u later on

[split dock]

Oh really I thought they tell u

[ocean coyote]

It's really expensive, almost double the price I'm paying rn 😭 (For dorm)

[autumn cave]

But isn’t the chance of getting displaced high

[dire shuttle]

😭😭😭

[ocean coyote]

Unless I get a scholarship in the future, I can't afford StuVi

[autumn cave]

at warren

[ocean coyote]

Wdym displaced?

[autumn cave]

cus of the construction

[split dock]

W the construction

[ocean coyote]

Oh right, yea Warren is gonna be harder to get now

There's 3 towers in Warren. One will be shut down every year until 2028

[split dock]

[ocean coyote]

So basically by the time I graduate

[autumn cave]

That suck

[split dock]

Super curious to see how things play out for ‘29😔

Hotels maybe

I heard they place some people in Cambridge

[spice yew]

i saw a tiktok ab that!

i think a girl was in a hotel across the river

[split dock]

Yeah

How is northeastern housing?

[autumn cave]

hotel!

but I heard the hotel is nice

it’s just very far

[ocean coyote]

Nope, that's off campus housing

A good number of BU students does off campus housing, their senior year

I was considering to do that, but the price tag is about 22.5k for the entire year 😭

No financial aid for housing if you do off campus

[sour cliff]

I went on a tour once and I was shocked at how small it was

[dire shuttle]

Just a couple limbs

[sour cliff]

It’s so crammed

[ocean coyote]

You'll be fine, don't worry about it. I don't think BU will ditch freshmans for their housing

Just focus on maintaining your grades so you don't get rescinded

[sour cliff]

I’m scared that the Warren tower reconstruction is going to affect the acceptance rate ahhhhh

Especially cuz I heard from others they over enrolled last year

[ocean coyote]

Oh yeah... good luck

You got a point

BU guarantees housing for all 4 years. It's either they take that away, or lower the class of 2029

[autumn cave]

Wait did u applied ed2?

[sour cliff]

Yes

:(

I didn’t think my parents would agree to ed

[autumn cave]

but Ed still get priority

[sour cliff]

IF I KNEW I WOULD OF DONE ED1

I need to. Stop freaking out. Like

I’m super self aware of how anxious I’ve been coming off but I can’t calm down at all help

[dire shuttle]

dead

I told my family after I applied

💀

[sour cliff]

GIRL

LMFAOOOO

[autumn cave]

me too lol

[sour cliff]

BYE WHAT

[dire shuttle]

fgli core

[autumn cave]

actually I told when I got it

[split dock]

LMAO bye

I think I told my mom to sign something

And she didn’t know what for

[dire shuttle]

nah I’d be anxious too

[split dock]

😭

[dire shuttle]

esp with that silly email n everything happening

😭

[sour cliff]

😭😭😭

[dire shuttle]

😭

tbf same

[ocean coyote]

Don't worry too much. I mean even if you don't get into BU, you'll do good regardless which university you enroll in

[sour cliff]

That’s true!!

[ocean coyote]

Talked to a couple professors at BU, and a instructor at MIT. They all told me the undergraduate name doesn't matter. It's what you do at the university that matters for Graduate school, or when it's time to get a job

[sour cliff]

I’ve been weirdly fixated on it since elementary school

[autumn cave]

Help I sign the ed agreement myself

[ocean coyote]

I mean, yeah everyone wants to go to those top named schools. Harvard, MIT, CalTech, UCB, etc.

But at the end of the day, don't be too stressed

[sour cliff]

For me it’s not about the like

Name or prestige I just genuinely like everything about it

I think that’s why

But I can still see myself being happy elsewhere anyways

And there’s always transferring 🤞

[dire shuttle]

yas

[split dock]

Yup!! We’re all rooting for u

[ocean coyote]

Good luck with BU decision

[sour cliff]

AWWW THANK YOU

🫶🫶🫶

[ocean coyote]

Hopefully all your '29 classmates sees you at BU B)

[dire shuttle]

🫡

[split dock]

Have any of u guys posted on instagram BU2029meet

[dire shuttle]

no I’m scared

everybody is a model

but prob soon

[split dock]

Bahaha it’s definitely not something u need to do but I’ve met a lot of people from it

I wish I was in this BU discord 😔

[autumn cave]

i plan to just slide into someone dm instead of posting lol

[autumn cave]

I can invite u

[split dock]

Pls 😇

[sour cliff]

RIGHT.

WHY IS THE CLASS OF 2029 FILLED WITH BADDIES

TOO MUCH PRESSURE

[uncut dune]

Wait, bu has a discord

[ocean coyote]

What if I repost it so my 2028 BU friends sees it

[dire shuttle]

Was it down like this on the day they came out???

[autumn cave]

Then suddenly I got a status update

[sour cliff]

Oh. My. God.

[sour cliff]

I’m crashing out

[deep flower]

The portal is dead

[deep flower]

We are so cooked

[late vale]

So it’s out in the portal already?

[autumn cave]

[late vale]

[autumn cave]

I was talking abt Ed 1 lol

[stuck zinc]

Was the error thing for ED2 applicants

[autumn cave]

[sour cliff]

It’s back up

Phew

[fervent tree]

shit i need to take that

oh i might take circuits this fall

[kindred brook]

Scared for fucking Boston

I’m literally gonna get rejected 💀

[late vale]

I'm pretty everyone who recevied the emails did get in

The second one

[ocean coyote]

And how do you do that

[ocean coyote]

All engineers at BU needs to take it

It’s a weed out class for ECE… I heard about 50% changes majors after that class

[naive gate]

im majoring physics but i lowkey shit at physics now am i cooked

[kind girder]

youre cooked

[naive gate]

stfu diureiromo

stfu get out

[kind girder]

[naive gate]

stfu

[kind girder]

[naive gate]

[kind girder]

GET OUT

okay lets be so fr

[dire shuttle]

dead

[kindred brook]

lmao

what if I just never open my bu decision

[sour cliff]

You gyat this

[cinder sail]

You can switch majors at BU I am pretty sure

[dire shuttle]

ya

[kindred brook]

ONE MORE DAYYY

Ahahaggs

@sour cliff praying for us both since we didn’t get the emails 🙏

[split dock]

Manifesting for u guys

[kindred brook]

What time do they usually release? Like 5:00?

[autumn cave]

ed 1 was released at 5:02pm

[kindred brook]

Ohh ok 👍

[calm flax]

wait do you still have a chance if you didnt get an email?

i thought all accepted got it

so theres hope??

[dire shuttle]

Yes, there’s still a chance.
The email was just sent randomly from BU and so only some people got it and some people didn’t. (I got the email for the virtual event, but im already an admitted student lol). If you didn’t get the email, it just means that BU fixed the system before it could reach out to u and many others.

It is likely that decisions come out tomorrow, bc of the email that was sent, talking abt the release. If not, by the end of this week

[calm flax]

hooray

[kindred brook]

They said they sent it randomly so hopefully yes 🙌

If I don’t get in, I’ve made peace with it tho, I still have my state school 🙏

[calm flax]

thats really great

one of my friends was really bummed out that he disnt get the email

[kindred brook]

I’m also bummed ngl cause it just makes me more anxious about decisions but it’s not the end of the world, I can always save money going in state and apply for BU for med school (since I’m doing pre med)

[calm flax]

ohh cool

we live like 5 mins away from boston and being close to family was important for us

but state school is always there

[autumn cave]

they don’t ever release on weekends for ed

[ocean coyote]

Yeah, BU is a pretty expensive school. I'm sure you'll do fine wherever you go

[ocean coyote]

Hmm I'll say this... college classes are a lot different compared to high school lol, just see how physics major is, and go from there

Idk about other people here, but in my experience, college midterm/finals are a lot easier (Only downside, one question wrong and that'll HURT the score)

Cuz all the midterms/finals I had so far, it's less than 10 FRQs, given about 1.5-2 hours

I struggled in English, but I ended up finding college English really easy. Same as Calculus, Multivariate Calculus was a lot easier to understand. Physics in college (Taking it rn) is a lot easier compared to AP Physics

[naive gate]

oh rlly? Thank god

all i know is physics c

like i barely know electromagnetism

[ripe sluice]

Is bu ed2 out?

[dire shuttle]

At around 5pm est today (2/10)

[kind girder]

gl all

💀

im still tweaking even tho I got the follow up u got in email

[naive gate]

damnn

[fast creek]

[dire shuttle]

Based on the emails people have received from the accidental one, it seems to be today, yes.

[ripe sluice]

do all of you have really good grades?

[sour cliff]

😭

I’m ranked 42nd in my class

[ripe sluice]

out of how many

[sour cliff]

536 or something like that

[ripe sluice]

that’s pretty good

we don’t have that here

[sour cliff]

It would be if I’d taken more APs

[dire shuttle]

No my grades r shit now

[ripe sluice]

are yall based in the US

[sour cliff]

Yeah

Ughhhhh I’m so disappointed in myself for submitting my SAT score for consideration

[ripe sluice]

oh cool

[sour cliff]

I feel like that really fed me over

[ripe sluice]

I didn’t submit my SAT

what was ur sat

[fast creek]

Any idea if this email was sent out to a particular set of students from one college like questroom?

or did people from multiple colleges get this email

[sour cliff]

710 math 650 English

💀

[ripe sluice]

Ah

[fast creek]

you got accepted?

[dire shuttle]

This is good though

[sour cliff]

No

[ripe sluice]

I had a 700 math 690 English, didn’t submit it

[naive gate]

i got 1410

[sour cliff]

WHY DID I SUBMIT

[dire shuttle]

The testing is inflated anyways

[sour cliff]

WHYYY

IM ACTUALLY GONNA PUKE

[fast creek]

Are you international?

[dire shuttle]

bc of last years test optional

U guys should be fine

[naive gate]

yeah

i got a 3.6 GPA

[ripe sluice]

im an Indian but im a US citizen

[fast creek]

I got 1460, but ddint get the email

[naive gate]

just means you didn;t get pranked

[fast creek]

im cooked

[naive gate]

dw

[sour cliff]

I’m surprised the portal is still up

I guess it’s not going down today?

[naive gate]

itll go down in 2 hrs

[sour cliff]

I thought it went down 5 hours before release

Oopsies

[ripe sluice]

it’s coming out at 4:30 AM my time, do u guys think it’s worth staying up for 😭

[fast creek]

I thought it wasn't a prank since everyone recieved a follow up email they were accepted?

[sour cliff]

Set an alarm 😭

[naive gate]

not everyone

[ripe sluice]

I can’t sleep im too nervous

[naive gate]

only the people who got their application reviewed + admitted

[sour cliff]

GOR REAL?

WHAT.

[dire shuttle]

yeah not everyone got the email

[naive gate]

if you didnt recieve the 2nd email, it probably just means they didnt review it yet

doesnt mean rejection

[sour cliff]

WOW

I didn’t know this

[dire shuttle]

What they said

😭

[sour cliff]

I thought everyone that got the first email got the second UNLESS they were one of the ed1 applicants

[dire shuttle]

~2hrs left

💀

[sour cliff]

Yeah that’s what I meant

[dire shuttle]

oh I can’t read

[ripe sluice]

I didn’t get even 1 email.

[naive gate]

my friend got it in RD lol

[ripe sluice]

am I cooked

[dire shuttle]

RD is crazy

[naive gate]

ikr

[sour cliff]

Wow..?

[fast creek]

on the 7th i had emailed the uni with some additional info and they said they will make a note in my file for the board of admissions to see, does that mean they hadn't judged my application yet

[dire shuttle]

idk how they messed up with that LMAO

[naive gate]

i mean if they say anything else it might reveal too much

[fast creek]

one can hope

[ripe sluice]

Do you guys get teacher recommendations?

[dire shuttle]

Yes

required

[sour cliff]

Yes

[ripe sluice]

[dire shuttle]

MA

[ripe sluice]

oh sick I got psych and math

[dire shuttle]

we both MA 🤝

[naive gate]

is it harder to get in if you're international

[sour cliff]

Which means chances of getting in are significantly lower!!!

[naive gate]

oops wrong ping

[ripe sluice]

Where you from

[naive gate]

canada

[sour cliff]

I never I wished I was from the south more bruh

[ripe sluice]

sick

Im from India but im a US citizen I think that helps does it?

[sour cliff]

Boston is so competitive

[naive gate]

is it?

[sour cliff]

Boston? Or

[dire shuttle]

Fr

Feeder schools n shi

😭

[ripe sluice]

itll be fine guys dw

[unreal ore]

Yall think they look at the sat as a whole or put more emphasis on the part that is more applicable with your major

[sour cliff]

I have no idea

[dire shuttle]

Both

Well most likely both

[ripe sluice]

are we sure that all decisions are coming out in a few hours?

All ed2 I mean

[sour cliff]

Yes

For ed2

[deep flower]

Same

[sour cliff]

Well they’re all released at the same time

BU is generous if you’re low income. But if you make over 200k, kinda cooked

[late vale]

I see thanks 🙏

[dire shuttle]

Ong

[dire shuttle]

[calm flax]

Nope RD

[dire shuttle]

oooh

[kindred brook]

DEFFERED

💀

Did anyone get rejected

[sour cliff]

I know someone

[kindred brook]

Well there goes my dreams of coming to Boston 😭

[fervent tree]

theres always idaho state

goat school

[kindred brook]

I haven’t been deferred before so what do I do

Do I submit anything

[fervent tree]

loci i think

[agile bobcat]

what major

[split dock]

No don’t give up hope 😭😭🙏🙏

[kindred brook]

Psych but I’m thinking about switching to biology with a cell bio/genetics focus

Also pre med

[deep flower]

yo why are so many people getting deferred

[kindred brook]

Idek

[deep flower]

this has to be a psyop done by BU

[split dock]

😭😭

[kindred brook]

Ugh I worked so hard on that supp too 🫠

[kindred brook]

Or actually, I was thinking about moving to Sargent and doing their health sciences program (haven’t been a specific one yet)

[deep flower]

are u out of state

in state

or inter

[deep flower]

you got deferred or nah

[kindred brook]

Oos but I didn’t think that really mattered since Boston is private

[split dock]

Accepted Ed1

[deep flower]

ive heard theyre more bias towards oos idk

in a good way

[kindred brook]

Ohh

I really hope I get in RD 😭

[split dock]

Definitely possible 🙏❤️‍🔥

[deep flower]

my senior grades are peak

do they check spring grades

[split dock]

I’d assume so

[kindred brook]

My senior grades are good too and my schedule is packed, I hope they like how rigorous my schedule is 💀🫠

I’m doing this all for these schools 😂

[ruby cairn]

DID YALL GET IN

[ocean coyote]

I ended AP Lit with a 72%... did I get an email from BU, or have my acceptance revoked? No

Should you end with a C? Definitely no

Try to get a B or better. Getting a C will put you at some kind of risk to get your acceptance revoked. Once you get a D/F, it's kinda GGs

[ocean coyote]

Unless you got waitlisted RD, they don't care about spring grades

Just "pass"

[cold nacelle]

frog

[deep flower]

is it encouraged or discouraged to send additional information during deferral for BU, like for example, writing Loci

[split dock]

I believe it’s encouraged to send a LOCI to your regions AO

[sour cliff]

I wanna talk to someone who got accepted after being differed so bad rn 😭

[ocean coyote]

See if BU allows you to send additional information

Some colleges like USC, they do not accept additional information

But when I got WL for NEU and CMU, I was encouraged to send additional information

[tardy kite]

i thought ed2 didnt have defferals

[autumn cave]

bu definitely under admitted this yr cus of housing crisis

[dire shuttle]

Defo

[autumn cave]

why is everyone getting deferral/rejected

[dire shuttle]

fr

😭

[sour cliff]

Oh…!

[unreal ore]

Where would you send the loci

[split dock]

To your regional admissions officer

[ocean coyote]

600 beds closing per year!!!

[ocean coyote]

They do, but I mean

I guess it'll be harder to get in as RD because of how there's so many applicants

[dim tulip]

nyu defers very few people (like 5%) so its possible nobody was deferred ED2 or so few ppl were deferred that we just dont know abt it

[ocean coyote]

ED 2 deferral rates are high for some universities, cough NEU

I'm not too sure about BU and deferrals, but for sure, deferral does not mean your application journey is over (Unless the university defers like everyone everyone, then might be a bit cooked already)

[autumn cave]

Actually? Even for neu

I thought neu love ed applicants so they nearly admit all of them

compared to ea where everyone get deferred

[kindred brook]

Yeah exactly

[ocean coyote]

Oh, I did NEU EA

I would sell my soul to an ivy league

But NEU? No thank you

[autumn cave]

Yea me too and I got deferred

so I withdrew

[kindred brook]

Lmao I got not neu Oakland but I don’t think I’m gonna end up going

Neu is great but compared to what my in state school is offering idk

BU is the only school I wanna go to

[autumn cave]

What state r u from

[kindred brook]

Maryland, and the state school is UMD

they offered me into their honors program and their limited enrollment program

So I’ll probably end up going their if I don’t get into Boston

[ocean coyote]

I mean you’ll get guaranteed Boston NEU transfer

Just no guarantee housing

[ocean coyote]

I got waitlisted from UCI, and I withdrew lol

[autumn cave]

so that’s how neu admit bunch of ppl they just gotta live off campus

[sour cliff]

I can do that for Bu just admit me

I am like 30 minutes away JUST TAKE ME

[autumn cave]

unfortunately bu force every first yr student to live on campus

[ocean coyote]

Yup, I mean on the bright side

BU is guaranteed housing for all 4 years

But once you do off campus, you lose guaranteed housing

[dire shuttle]

hello gang do u know what the triples n quads r like

bc I swear they barely have vids n stuff on ts 💔

[ocean coyote]

Depends on your roommate tbh

LOL

[dire shuttle]

helep I have two but I’m wondering like which area is best

[ocean coyote]

Ohhhh

Uh

Honestly as freshmans, yall dont get a lot of choices

Warren, Towers, or West

[cinder sail]

The BU students in the hotels though 😭

[ocean coyote]

West is probably the best, but it's really far away. Towers is mid. Warren is the worst, but really convenient

[ocean coyote]

That's StuVi, typically only seniors

[cinder sail]

This is such a good split

[ocean coyote]

And junior, if you're lucky

Also no AC

LMAO

Summer weather will be really terrible because of the humidity

[cinder sail]

I was just so confused when I was in Boston in a hotel and saw a bunch of BU stuff lol

[ocean coyote]

Ohhhhhh, idk 😭

The only "Hotel style" I can think of, is StuVi

[unreal ore]

Where would we send our LOCI

[stuck zinc]

Email to ur regional AO

[cinder sail]

It was this https://www.bu.edu/housing/hyatt-hotel-housing/

[naive gate]

this might be a dumb question but what should i put as my BU email?

cause my real name is all taken

can i put cl1110 or is that too unprofessional

[split dock]

I did my first and middle initials

Then my last name

It took me a while to find a name too🥲

[dim tulip]

this is so fucking funny omg

"theres too many of you. youre going to cambridge goodbye"

[naive gate]

or does it sound too messy

mz is my middle name shortened

guys am i overthinking 😭

[split dock]

I think that’s good yeah

[split dock]

No ik😭😭 and idk how professional it’s supposed to be

I think that sounds good though

[cinder sail]

Probably too unprofessional tbh. You’ll probably use this email for internship and whatnot. Maybe like firstinitial+ last name or maybe even first name last name with 29?

[cinder sail]

As long as it resembles your name you are probably fine

[naive gate]

Oh okay

I just put my first, middle and last initals

[cinder sail]

Yeah that works

Also bu lets yall choose your emails???

[pure egret]

bro if I get into BU this is the DORM

[autumn cave]

it’s kinda far tho

[cinder sail]

It’s so fucking far away I honestly wouldn’t recommend

[naive gate]

we can pick our dorms?

[cinder sail]

As someone who was in the hotel and ended up at bu warren towers it was really far

Don’t recommend

[autumn cave]

yea across the river

[pure egret]

how far is it?

[cinder sail]

It’s 20 min walking

It’s just not very convenient

[pure egret]

oh i see

[ocean coyote]

It's only for Spring 2025... highly doubt they'll continue that program

[ocean coyote]

True but the bus helps, and public transportation

[ocean coyote]

Yup

[ocean coyote]

I feel like BU will either build another dorm... or just do a funny and say "Hey, no more guaranteed housing womp womp"

[cinder sail]

Yeah prob

Well most likely latter tbh

[dim tulip]

the student village is so sexc tho

highkey beautiful

bu is like the quintessential urban school

[sour cliff]

Guys

Rlly dumb question… can I just take pictures for the css idoc

I’m really lost

[naive gate]

is anyone else havinf issues signing into their BU account portal lol

[late vale]

Who submitted appeal for aid?

[dire shuttle]

Yes, js make sure it’s bright lighting n clear

[sour cliff]

Tyy

[ocean coyote]

Really beautiful

[naive gate]

help

[cinder sail]

It might just be temporarily down

Try again tomorrow maybe

If it’s urgent call the number

[deep flower]

you have to

[kindred brook]

Does anyone know if the AO actually looks at LOCI letters and considers them

I’m doing one rn but I feel like it’s so bad

There’s nothing much I can add

the only new thing is that I started a new job/work study but it’s already on my common app extracurricular list (very brief tho) and idk if I should go more in depth about it in my loci or if I would sound too desperate if I added it

[cinder sail]

They do

[cinder sail]

Dw about sounding too desperate imo like they know everyone is baseline anyways

[plain prism]

I believe they do, but I heard that you should reiterate some small things existing in your app thats relevant as a refresher

[naive gate]

what do i do????

im so confused

how do i even get BU Google Drive??

[calm flax]

my bro

it literally says what to do

[cinder sail]

What does the need help button tell you to do?

Maybe check your email for IT???

[naive gate]

There is NO email

[naive gate]

Ill check it out

[ocean coyote]

Bro forgot to setup Duo Push 💀

[cinder sail]

I hate duo push so much

Like please just let me exist in peace

[dire shuttle]

duo push an opp

[feral yarrow]

[dire shuttle]

[feral yarrow]

I finished fasfa and css long time ago but do we need to upload proof of income right now too?

[stuck zinc]

I uploaded mine to iDOC and BU automatically received it

[stuck zinc]
