Seriously?!? Congrats!!! So jealous.

What does your status checker say?
Status checker still set to "Application Complete" so anybody could receive a call at this point.

Sorry to be insanely obnoxious, but can you tel me what it says at the very top (the paragraph about the timing of decisions). Again, CONGRATS!!

Congrats! Also, when did you apply? (RD/ED) lol I'm sure once people read the first acceptance is out, these are going to be popular questions.

No problemo, see below:

"Your application to The Boston University School of Law is complete and ready for review. We will notify you of the Admissions Committee’s decision as soon as it has been reached. While some applicants may hear sooner, a general timeline all applicants can follow is that those who complete their applications by February 1 will most likely receive a decision by early April. Let us assure you that we do our very best to provide decisions as early as the process will allow."

CONGRATS! :D :D :D You're the first one to update LSN too so I think you're probably among the first people accepted.

Though this does make me nervous about an ED acceptance if they're accepting RD people.

Either way...we're getting acceptances come through finally. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

Man I forgot that RD decisions start rolling out earlier than ED... well I guess we'll get an idea of the type of applicant they're looking for!

I don't know your stats, but based on the threads you're active in, you're probably an auto-admit at BU. So unfortunately for me, I am now even more certain that the status checker differences are utterly meaningless lol.

I bet this is just a quirk of their system - don't know why it would really mean anything

Going through the last few years on here and on LSN I can't find a person who was accepted ED after the RD acceptances started, only people who we denied for ED. Granted the sample size is very small...but that still makes me feel a bit defeated.

There have only been like 3 confirmed acceptances at all on here or LSN so far. Very odd. I wouldn't read into anything at this point.

There's a RD acceptance from today on LSN.

Still waiting for my TOEFL waiver. It's been two weeks since I heard from them last time.

In RD via email GPA around 50th percentile, LSAT below 25%. Was not expecting to get even a waitlist, let alone getting in. not URM but extremely strong softs and LORs.

Congrats! Status checker Change?
It says:

Congratulations on your acceptance to The Boston University School of Law Class of 2020!
Please visit the admitted students website:
http://www.bu.edu/law/admissions/admitt ... -students/
Password: lawadmit2020

And then it says current status: Decision made

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
