[hollow geyser]

yo ive been pretty positive this whole cycle but idk what im gonna do if i get rejected from here like... damn then it was fr all for nothing

yeah they better ring me right meow

[willow isle]

What is the phone call for?

[stone oak]

mainly to congratulate you, but also if you have additional questions about BU

[willow isle]

Oh

[stone oak]

fr

[willow isle]

BU if you don’t accept me I will go to Vassar 😡

[sudden shale]

what time est should i expect it?

[torn rapids]

whats a phonecall

💀

[willow isle]

They call you to tell you that you got in or if you have questions I learned

[torn rapids]

oh cool thx

[willow isle]

This is where I get my info from

[cedar swift]

My number is open if u wanna call bu 👀

[torn rapids]

so no call is like u got rej

[willow isle]

Not necessarily

Most people don’t get phone calls probably

There are only so many phone calls in a day

[sly hawk]

i think i got one but i didn’t know if it was them bc i didnt see it until now

what’s the phone number you got

[glad fog]

they prob leave a voicemail

[sly hawk]

didn’t see it but they called me like twice so idk

[hollow geyser]

so if i don’t get a call does that mean i was rejected/wl… or

[dreamy oxide]

Well I don't think they'd be able to call like every student

[sly hawk]

wait so is bu still dropping tmr right or is it today?

[hollow geyser]

yeah ur right im just super paranoid esp since im also on the east coast😓

[hollow geyser]

it’s tomorrow

[dreamy oxide]

No that is legit me rn

[hollow geyser]

well i hope u get a call🙏

[dreamy oxide]

I hope you get one also!! tho my last two calls were from my mom

[hollow geyser]

help😭😭

[cedar swift]

It might be over 💔

[glad fog]

its primarly for first gen/minority students

[vestal ravine]

Got a likely

[vestal ravine]

yes

it was a likely

director of multicultural something

[stone oak]

yea and i was confused because apple labelled it as "spam risk" 😭

make SURE to answer all your calls

[glad fog]

i dont think you need this

[hollow geyser]

i did see someone on reddit say they got a call & weren't first gen/minority

[vestal ravine]

lol

[shrewd grove]

BRO bu need to call me too

[hollow geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/danganronpa-kyoko-kirigiri-after-school-lesson-gif-6483675630744807798

[sly hawk]

wait what’s the # that called you two cuz like im got a called around the time you got too n i didn’t see it until later n i called back n no one picked up so idk if it’s them

[stone oak]

is it fine if i just leak it here 😭

try to look for a number with a (617) area code

[open tapir]

just reject us atp

[inland mulch]

was it just the BU admissions number or smth differnt?

[sly hawk]

oops im in west coast i got smth w 213 lol

so i have no idea if it’s them or not

[stone oak]

its +1 (617) 358-xxxx
a BU number i’m sure

[vestal ravine]

it just says Boston University

but mine was 617-353-XXXX

[stone oak]

yea

[inland mulch]

that makes sense, considering it's all bu volunteers. Congrats on ur acceptances!!!

[lime frost]

hoping i get a call :)) it'd honestly be such a relief to learn i got in tonight

i would honestly commit in a heartbeat

[inland mulch]

some people in the reddit got it from a florida area code, so it may have still been them

[vestal ravine]

The person who called me was like the director of multicultural recruitment

or smth

[lime frost]

i've struck out at every other target / reach so i hope BU sees the potential that i see in myself lol

[vestal ravine]

so idk abt all volunteers

but best of luck to all u guys

[hollow geyser]

yeah same

its one of my top schools

and hoping that my acceptance to pitzer & nyu gives me a chance 😭

[sly hawk]

oof so mine prob not them

[sly hawk]

you like bu over nyu?

[hollow geyser]

[languid gorge]

sorry for asking but does anyone know what time we could expect decisions by est? i need to know what time to wake up 🫠

[bleak aurora]

guys

what timezone we talking?

[tame kayak]

Most likely EST

[bleak aurora]

for ed1 it came our at

12:50 am

GMT+3

im too lazy to convert to est im not from the us

[tame kayak]

That’s 5:50 PM EST

[sly hawk]

oh nvm lol i thought nyc! that makes sense😭

[jovial dome]

is not getting a call a sign of for sure rejection

[hollow geyser]

they accept like 8,000 people

so im going to say No

[ebon pulsar]

Which do you want tomorrow chat

[willow isle]

Oo

I like the one on the right

[lime frost]

one on the right feels more personalized

[willow isle]

Yeah I agree

First one isn’t recognizable as BU

[hollow geyser]

i cant tell wether i like the first or second more...

[cedar swift]

Is it actually coming tmrw between 8 am and 12 pm

[cedar swift]

2nd one

[midnight plume]

Yo do we know what time it's coming out or nah

[jovial dome]

second is amazing

i love the icons you guys edit sm

my fav was the washu icon for ed2 decisions

[timber oracle]

[ebon pulsar]

Waitlist

Last sentence 1st paragraph

[cold jolt]

[agile osprey]

😭

[ebon pulsar]

But you need to respond to them if you wanna stay on it

[agile osprey]

18/15000

[cold jolt]

any chance of getting in gang if I update a 1580 SAT superscore

😔

[ebon pulsar]

I’ve been compiling a list pinned in #1448830292482719914

[finite flower]

Im pretty sure I did

I submitted everywhere, the only uni that didnt consider them was uwm cuz apparently they needed official scores

[hollow geyser]

ahhh

yeah i feel like for certain schools not submitting it is maybe where i went wrong

[finite flower]

Not much you can do now, you got NYU which is an excellent choice

[hollow geyser]

[lilac cosmos]

i got waitlisted again

[thorn flicker]

rejected 💔

[vague hollow]

bu was the ONLY school i applied as a data sci major and i got in 😭

[willow isle]

Chloe are you the one that is maintaining the website

[ebon pulsar]

Mostly why

[willow isle]

I m just curious lol

I never knew we had a website

I know a2c mainly because of the Reddit

[ebon pulsar]

Bc it’s the most popular and the first to spawn by 7 years

The website was more like 8 after

The website is mostly used for the decision calendar although last year it caught on a bit for the fee waivers list

I’ve tried to make a modified version of the Reddit faq bc I find theirs to be very redundant but it hasn’t caught on

I also have like 3 decades of UChicago prompts on the website

I am surprised that’s not looked at more

What’s funny to me is I emailed UChicago admissions asking for their prompts list and they claimed they didn’t save them yet suddenly the next year their website had significantly more archived prompts but they weren’t the original versions

Multiple were shortened

https://www.applyingto.college/resources/uchicago-past-essay-prompts

[twin veldt]

how tf did it come out

[ebon pulsar]

[twin veldt]

[agile osprey]

[boreal horizon]

[livid mulch]

Is this guaranteed transfer?

[boreal horizon]

admitted spring term w/ no scholarship

guess i'm not going to bu

[willow isle]

This looks like a rejection, I’m sorry

[ebon pulsar]

send the link they put

[fluid orbit]

Hi uhh is there any current BU student here. I just got my decision as a guaranteed transfer and I’m wondering what it means

[livid mulch]

What does your letter say?

As a guaranteed transfer

[fluid orbit]

Lemme send a pic

[livid mulch]

Oh yeah I think this was a straight up rejection

Fuck me

[fluid orbit]

Can I not send pictures what

[ebon pulsar]

bc youre new

you can dm me

and i will send

[fluid orbit]

Oh okay

[livid mulch]

Can you copy and paste the text?

[fluid orbit]

I send it to chloe they can put it in here

[willow isle]

We appreciate your interest in Boston University, but after a careful and thoughtful review of your application, the Board of Admissions is unable to offer you admission at this time.
We do, however, recognize your strong commitment to your studies and your many achievements in high school, as well as your potential for success at Boston University. For these reasons, you are one of a select group of students to whom we are offering guaranteed admission as a transfer student to the College of Arts & Sciences for September 2027.
This offer of admission is extended with the understanding that you will maintain your current level of academic performance in all coursework in which you are currently enrolled. You are required to submit a copy of your final transcript—including proof of graduation from your high school, final grades, and final external examination results, such as an IB diploma—in order to verify that your current level of performance has been maintained. In addition, you must complete two semesters as a full-time student at one accredited college or university in the United States, other than Boston University, earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, with no grade lower than a C (2.0), and maintain good academic and disciplinary standing.
For more information about the guaranteed transfer admission program, including important deadlines, please review our frequently asked questions. If you are interested in pursuing this option, please visit the Guaranteed Transfer Response page to accept your offer by May 1, 2026. If you have any additional questions, I encourage you to contact us at 617-353-2300 or [e-mail].
I wish you the best of luck as you complete your final year of high school, and I hope to welcome you as a transfer student in the fall of 2027. This was what I got from BU as guaranteed transfer applicant

[fluid orbit]

Yea

[willow isle]

That’s what I got too

[fluid orbit]

Did you get it too?

Oh nice

[willow isle]

Yeah guaranteed transfer

[livid mulch]

Yeah I got straight up rejected 🥲

[willow isle]

Lowkenuinely just gonna go to Vassar 🫩

[fluid orbit]

I’m kinda disappointed cuz I don’t want to transfer :/

But at least it’s guaranteed

[ebon pulsar]

We have a current student there

Probably in #1400594916094247082

[fluid orbit]

Is there a current BU student????

[willow isle]

Ty Chloe

This was my final college decision 😢

[ebon pulsar]

BU students are @turbid acorn @sudden halo I think

There may be more

[fluid orbit]

oh okay

wait I’m still confused was this like a soft rejection

Is it better than a reject/waitlist

[willow isle]

I mean if you go to a school and don’t like it then you can transfer easily

[finite flower]

Yes

[willow isle]

It’s much better than reject/ waitlist tho

Because you got in just for a different enrollment year

[fluid orbit]

That’s true but I’m wondering like if you can change into a different major in a different school or are you stuck to cas

[finite flower]

You go to another school for 1 year and if u get the gpa req you can transfer to bu guaranteed

[fluid orbit]

is there a high school gpa requirement?

[willow isle]

Idk

[finite flower]

No

[fluid orbit]

oh ok

[finite flower]

You need to maintain the same performance

[fluid orbit]

wait so in theory you can just go to community college for 1 year and then transfer

[willow isle]

Yeah

[finite flower]

Yes

[fluid orbit]

Ah

[willow isle]

Or go to another school you got into and transfer

Not limited to just cc

Like a uni or something

[fluid orbit]

Problem is that if I decide to transfer after 1st year I most likely won’t just apply to BU I would choose other schools

[willow isle]

Yeah me too

[fluid orbit]

But at least there is a stable option

[willow isle]

I’d transfer to a better school probably

But it’d be a safety transfer

So if you don’t get into your other options you can go there

[fluid orbit]

Especially cuz my state school Rutgers and BU are like kind of similar

and in state tuition a lot cheaper

[gusty tiger]

Uh oh ejected

[lilac cosmos]

do you get email if ur accepted, my friend can’t log into her bu portal

[gusty tiger]

Rejected

Duke ont left

[spare warren]

Does anyone know if bu lets you negotiate tuition/price? i got in w/ honors but it’s too expensive and was thinking about asking them to match another uni

[spare warren]

My password ended up being “(mypassword)(mypasswordagain)(mypasswordagainagain)”😭

[fluid orbit]

What is the point of bu honors program?

Is it a different curriculum

[spare warren]

I have no idea honestly, i think there is extra leadership based classes (?) and a internship/project you’re required to do

I wrote it so long ago idk man

[fluid orbit]

oh okay

[midnight plume]

I'm in boys

[lilac cosmos]

what…. 😭

[fluid orbit]

I feel like guaranteed transfer is their way of keeping the acceptance rate so low

Why do they have to play games bruh

[lilac cosmos]

boston is not all dat 😒

[fluid orbit]

@ebon pulsar you should add a guaranteed transfer option in the poll

[ebon pulsar]

cant add after its made

[old geyser]

can u choose any major in bu or only the one on the application?

[trim gull]

did they send financial aid package yet?

[zenith smelt]

rejected

[runic moth]

accepted :)

finally my 9 rejection streak has been broken

[runic moth]

nope

i got accepted and no email

[zenith smelt]

wooo congrats

14 rejections

4 acceptances

i mean

12 rejections, 4 acceptances, 3 waitlists, 1 waiting

[timber oracle]

Rejected

[zenith smelt]

thats ok

it takes 1

[leaden island]

hi

[gusty tiger]

Does everyone not get that

[tacit fossil]

click the three lines at the top in your portal

[open tapir]

ugh rejected

i guess this is the end for me

[runic moth]

ur in a great school already! dw

[open tapir]

true

idt i would’ve chosen bu over smith

bu was my dream school junior year tho so part of me is mourning

[dusky ingot]

this is wild i got admitted to cornell berk and umich and bu waitlists me

[zenith smelt]

its okay i promise

i had a plethora of rejections n it all worked out

i didnt get into my top choice but i got into another school

abd im super happy

i was rejected from every selective boston school as a mass applicant

[quick steppe]

What is this verti education thing man

wait how do we know if we got honors or not

[opaque geyser]

i think itll say it in your decision letter and if it doesnt mention it you didnt get in

[quick steppe]

ohh ok

[opaque geyser]

I got into BU and WashU and everyone is telling me "go to WashU its higher ranked" which I understand but I really wanna go to BU. Can someone help me justify going to BU over WashU because I really want to. I'm a biochem major not planning on med school

[sly hawk]

rejected but im not gonna go anyways bc i got into wellesley so still in boston yayayh

[zenith sky]

rip i got rejected from my final college decision

[boreal horizon]

I saw ur post on A2C

Why do you wanna go BU?

[fluid orbit]

It’s only for a select number of students I believe

It’s okay bu pmo cuz I’m not interested in the school 🥲

[fluid orbit]

Honestly go for washu I know a friends brother who went there. The midwestern location is not that good compared to Boston but academics are pretty strong and it’s a mid size school

He liked his time there

I believe they have 1 of the best med programs as well

[opaque geyser]

lol sorry for double posting. anyway i wanted to go to bu anyway because of the crazy research and good internships outside of the university. guaranteed housing all 4 years is nice too, but wasnt really a tipping point. the only thing I really like about BU that WashU doesnt have is the location. I just don't really like the midwest (used to live in iowa and highkey hated it) and i really love boston as a city

[boreal horizon]

Where did you live in Iowa

Because it seems like location is the real deciding factor

[opaque geyser]

yess i was super excited to go when i got the acceptance because before BU i thought I would go there, its a nice school and super good academically. im gonna tour both in april either way

[opaque geyser]

near cedar rapids

[boreal horizon]

Right

Saint Louis is a city

I mean it’s not new york or chicago

But Clayton is a nice area

Like Cedar Rapids is not the same experience as STL in any way

[vestal ravine]

wow yay accepted

Any1 know if I can get like travel aid for MCW

[fluid orbit]

Ye def tour both but me personally I would pick washu

Plus ur kinda close to Chicago

[runic moth]

ugh i dont know whether to choose BU or carleton

[nova lily]

anyone have an opinion BU vs. CU Boulder for Engineering?

[wicked pasture]

I got rejected LMAO

[zenith sky]

same i mean to hell with bu there overprice peice sh

[wicked pasture]

I have Duke left now

[zenith sky]

gl

[upper bone]

is BU out

[zenith sky]

yes

[upper bone]

why they drop at the crack of dawn

[wicked pasture]

It came out a few hours ago

[upper bone]

i’m so chopped

i just woke up

i can’t record this shit

[upper bone]

woah holy cow u guys did good

[zenith sky]

more accepted than than rejects

[upper bone]

ugh wait now i have to get ready

[wicked pasture]

The only good poll

😭

[zenith sky]

yea ik

most i tend to see 2 acceptance mostly reject and waitlisted

i guess u guys cook with yours app

[open tapir]

which is cheaper

[zenith sky]

BC poll vs BU pool

[runic moth]

same...

good luck!

[open tapir]

girl you know i’m biased but if i were you i’d choose carleton

[zenith sky]

go with the one that cheaper

means no debt

[open tapir]

thats what i was gonna say

[runic moth]

carleton is better programs and a better school

but BU has a significantly better location

and also i would like a bigger school

[zenith sky]

yea i but i think bu more expensive

[open tapir]

true

i just think at carleton the smaller class sizes would be more beneficial

[runic moth]

maybe

im appealing both

[open tapir]

but if you want a bigger school thats valid too

[runic moth]

so ill see how it goes

[upper bone]

omg wait vli did u get into BU?

[runic moth]

i may simply choose the cheaper

[runic moth]

yes!

[zenith sky]

did Carleton give good aid

[upper bone]

that’s so awesome congratulations!!

[fringe thicket]

me too bro

i thought itd be at like 4pm or sum

😭

[upper bone]

i hit the bed hard omg 😭 😭

my phone died

so my alarms did not go off

[runic moth]

not really

neither did BU

but thats bc my dad lost his job

so im appealing

[zenith sky]

BU doesnt typically give good aid
I mean up to u but if i were u i would go with the one that cheaper

[zenith sky]

yea try to appeal

[runic moth]

mhmhm

[zenith sky]

which ever one give more money go

[runic moth]

sounds like a good plan tbh...

[turbid acorn]

yes that is me

Congrats to everyone to got in

[turbid acorn]

It’s just additional classes you take with the program for KHC (it’ll fill up hub too so I guess that’s useful). The only real difference is the dorming (which will have ac) and being able to register for classes a bit earlier than everyone else.

There’s also some other things you do with the program (thru the classes)but it’s nothing too out of the blue.

This is all I really know so I might be missing like a part or two

[lilac cosmos]

congrats

[turbid acorn]

lowk if anyone has any questions im happy to share what i know

Which is like not a lot but not a little

🫡

[fluid orbit]

Oh I see

[turbid acorn]

@short sail lock in bud

[short sail]

HI

CONGRATS ALL ADMITTED WOOOOOO

[turbid acorn]

[upper bone]

oh fire i got in

[finite flower]

Ofc u did ur goated

[upper bone]

🥹

ill be declining my spot so i hope one of u waitlisted people gets it

[trim gull]

is college of general studies worth it

[bleak marten]

Ty 🤞

[short sail]

woah

so many friends

[open thunder]

not an option but got guarantee transfer for BU

[solid hazel]

It came out?

[turbid acorn]

Yes

[solid hazel]

Oh wow so quick

[sweet flare]

does bu send an email a couple of hours after decisions are released if you're accepted?

[solid hazel]

Dam rejected

[solid hazel]

I got an email abt it being out

So i assume maybe everyone gets it

That would be funny if they js dont send it to ppl that got denied

[runic moth]

thank you!!

i hope BU gives me good aid

[short sail]

I hope so too 🙏

[upper bone]

bu was more than carleton for me ☹️

[runic moth]

it probably will be... but i get to go to carleton!

[vague hollow]

afaik there are more humanities gen eds but you get nicer dorms

[jovial dome]

i got guaranteed transfer next year to BU….

[jovial dome]

why is there no option for me on the poll smhhh

[fluid orbit]

Same your not the only one don’t worry

🫡

[jovial dome]

idk if this is good or bad

should i just stay 4 years in state udub or transfer

[fluid orbit]

It’s better than a reject/wl

[fluid orbit]

Did you get aid for bu?

[jovial dome]

do they tell you as a transfer?

[fluid orbit]

wait I think you have to reapply for it

[upper bone]

bu for me matched the guarantee on their website if that helps u

google bu expected family contribution to see what u would pay

[fluid orbit]

I don’t think bu is worth full pay

100k+ no please

[lime frost]

no school is worth full pay if you have to take out loans bro

[ebon pulsar]

Speak up before results next time

[jovial dome]

im sorry i just woke up 🙁

[fluid orbit]

No one is waking up in the wee hours just to view a goofy ahh college decision

[jovial dome]

i stayed up until 4am one hr before decisions but i couldnt take it and fell asleep 💔

thenw oke up at like 2pm and saw what happened

[stiff finch]

guys i got in but college of general studies is that basically the bu version of nyu's liberal studies core

[jovial dome]

bu is bu! congratulations

[turbid acorn]

yes bu is bu, congrats!

[radiant path]

is anyone else having troubles with the applicant portal?

[fluid orbit]

Wait I have a question did you click on accept guarantee transfer offer already

[jovial dome]

yes bc its not binding

so it wont hurt me to accept! i dont have to acc do it

[fluid orbit]

Do they send you a confirmation email

Or like anything

[jovial dome]

nope

just said theyd reach out shortly and keep in touch

maybe expect an email after hs for transcript

[fluid orbit]

Oh

So they won’t email until like summer ig

[jovial dome]

thats what i think

[livid mulch]

Does BU accept appeals for rejections?

[jovial dome]

nope, id move on

bu isnt worth its price at all

[livid mulch]

Ugh :(

If I had gotten in it basically would’ve been free since my family is low income but in all fairness that may have been what got me rejected bc of how need aware they are

[jovial dome]

im sorry, that really sucks

i hate it when schools do that

[livid mulch]

It was my dream school :P

[jovial dome]

what is your first choice? you could also try applying to bu as a transfer and that way save money

[livid mulch]

I’ll probably be going to UW Madison

[jovial dome]

its ok, just think about how bu doesnt have a campus!!

uw madison is a great school

also uw madison has a campus and you get a fun college experience thats more close-knit than bu

[livid mulch]

But one of the big draws for BU was the guaranteed medical school acceptance program and transferring would screw up my application for it

[jovial dome]

college in city with no campus can feel isolating for a first year

[jovial dome]

they guarantee undergrad acceptences to their med school??????

wonder if they do smth similar for law.......

[livid mulch]

Yeah, a cohort of like ~20 students but only 100-200 apply so it’s not horrifically selective

[jovial dome]

are you aware of anything similar for their law school?

i think uw madison also has a great med school!

and again there's always transferring somewhere even better

[turbid acorn]

gloom and doom weather

[jovial dome]

imagine waking up to 13 feet of snow and not being able to go outside!

going oos might also be a fresh start to new opportunities

meet new people get used to becoming more flexible which wil help you in future. you will work with anyone

[turbid acorn]

yes theres like a deadline for it somewhere

[fluid orbit]

bu pmo

[jovial dome]

CHOOSE UDUB 🔥🔥

bu doesnt have campus and udub campus mogs bu campus

[fluid orbit]

I’m oos for everything :/

But I’m going to student day on the 4th so I will see

[runic moth]

wait choose UCSB lowk

[fluid orbit]

I don’t know still. I like the beach so I have to check campus out

[jovial dome]

awesomee ill be there too

seattle is a great location

oos aid sucks tho, i wish you the best in that

id go cheapest and idt nyu gives ppl lots

[turbid acorn]

oo have fun!

[vague hollow]

is anyone going to admitted terrier day

[jovial dome]

take pics if you do!

[leaden island]

no response

[vague hollow]

airball

[cloud oriole]

I am 🤷

doing mcw as well

trust, I'm getting into fitrec bc we don't skip, even on vacation dawg 💪

[smoky dock]

Anyone know when transfer decisions start rolling out?

[smoky dock]

Oop portal down

[jovial dome]

good luck!!!

[nimble talon]

Is it still down for you

[smoky dock]

no

[jovial dome]

good news for the waitlist warriors!

[runic moth]

this is so fair...

[solid dragon]

this is a shitpost 😭

[unborn geyser]

guys should i choose specialty communities?

for the housing applications

[final mesa]

Anyone got advice for housing applications?

What dorms are best

[wispy vapor]

You dont got a choice as a freshman lwky LMAO

West --> Good food and has the dining hall inside, trash location
Warren --> Great location, has dining hall inside (Ups and downs with food), but living condition is terrible (No AC). However, if you get tower A, go for it.
Towers --> No food inside the building, gotta walk to Marciano. Decent location unless you're a Questrom major then it's amazing

StuVi is the best, but all the seniors are going for that

[jovial dome]

how do you know so much about bu as a umich student?

did you used to go there

[surreal patrol]

isn't tower a the only available tower in warren rn? i thought the others are under construction

with the renovations seems like warren would be the best

havent applied just yet, i still gotta figure out my meal plan but from what i can see warren is the best, then west, fenway, towers, 575? brownstones/bay state road seem nice and the location looks pretty but the room design is ass imo

[wispy vapor]

Yeah. I know B will be closed fs. I thought C will be open?

[wispy vapor]

Yeah. I will say for fenway it's a lottery system to get it, but the location is terrible. brownstones/bay state good luck trying to go there cuz all the sophomores/juniors apply there
Hojo I never heard anyone enjoy living there. They spend majority of their time outside of the dorm

[wispy vapor]

Oh I'm currently a BU student

I'm transferring to UMich

TLDR: UMich has the stuff I'm interested in cuz BU is too much of a BME school (I'm an EE)

[jovial dome]

ohh nice!!

what does bme stand for? i got guarantee transfer into bu so i was considering it, since bostons greatt for pre-law

[wispy vapor]

Biomedical Engineering

[wispy vapor]

Yeah, BU is great for pre-law

[cold jolt]

Any chance of getting out of the waitlist and acceptance for a full-ride admission for a finance major atp 😭 , gng

[regal pond]

I turned down ts questeom goodluck

[cold jolt]

gotta say i love you man

[regal pond]

[regal pond]

[cold jolt]

Our investment banker dream, i get that man

[graceful remnant]

love the optimism

[cold jolt]

yeah got waitlisted and then full ride at purdue

optimism is good tho 😔

[agile osprey]

???? full ride at purdue?

[turbid acorn]

Tower A and C are available, but Tower A is exclusive to incoming freshmen. you can still be placed in tower C though.

[cedar swift]

I just got off the waitlist

How do I see the financial aid

They said I have 4 days to accept this spot but I wanna see my aid first

[vague hollow]

should be in ur portal, congrats man

[cedar swift]

Is it the applicant portal

I can’t login to the student one

[vague hollow]

yeah that's normal you log into student one once you deposit and make a bu email

it should be applicant portal > financial aid (top bar) > financial aid decision > see final cost

[cedar swift]

Thank you

[agile osprey]

congratsss crazy work

[cold jolt]

yo congrats dude
