When did you submit?

I think 10/24 and had one more complete date on 12/18. I have a relatively low GPA so I don't think my chances are very good for the Boston schools but I'm trying to stay optimistic!

I've had 1 complete date on 12/10. With numbers above both 75s, when's it reasonable to get a decision?

Status just changed to "decision rendered" and indicates that it will be sent to me via mail. It's a bit of a reach for me, so I'm expecting a rejection/waitlist. Either way I'm glad a decision has finally been rendered.

Do you mind sharing the timeline of your completes/status updates? And good luck!!!

No problem, and thanks! Submitted 11/24, complete 11/25. I think I've had 1 status change since complete and it indicated it was "under review" sometime around mid December, I believe.

That's what I was wondering. Thanks!

FWIW, I did not receive it and my status is UR. Not sure what that means...

I didn't receive it either. I wonder if I was just dinged (my status is 'decision rendered' as of today) and removed from the distribution list? Or maybe there's some sort of filter directed to certain students (I hope).

I didn't receive it and I was admitted, so I wouldn't worry.

How far below if you don't mind my asking? I've bookmarked quite a few of the waiting threads you post in and I am below BC as well. I'm rocking that 3.3/163, so its basically a Doug Flutie hail mary chance at BC for me I think.

Well if any BC adcomms with half a brain paid attention to this thread, you'd be in with the DF reference. Bravo.

PM'd you, but I'm well below your stats, so I guess I had one hell of a WR in my DF hail mary play.
