I thought those numbers= in!!!

Shocked I haven't been WL'ed yet, considering my 164...

I'm sorry, mag!!

Do you guys all have the same time stamp? Or are they not done with WLs yet?

If it makes you guys feel any better (or at least less confused), they did say they're aiming for a class size of 230, which is a pretty decent cut from 265 I think they had last year. So more waitlisting would be expected as they want to ensure they meet their goal and don't over-enroll.

You have BC and Fordham though! I'm not worried for you. <3

curly3426 · Post by **curly3426** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 2:08 pm

for those who are WL'ed... I got in just recently, with 163 and 3.76 BC undergrad with strong softs... if you are interested in BU, I say make it known

I am kinda shocked with people getting WL'ed

WL'd as well. 12:23 time stamp

For what it's worth they started sending out Public Interest Scholars decisions. . .

Looks like I survived this round of waitlists. Or perhaps I am going to get the delayed snail mail rejection. Sorry for all of you guys, and it's not a good sign for me when people with numbers as good as yours are getting the WL treatment.

Close.

Current: 287 / Goal: 240

Once again someone that got into at least 2 of the three schools I would be elated to get into. Seem to be the ones you are choosing between too. Perhaps you could make that decision and free up some wiggle room for us outliers still waiting on word???

Not sure if above post was to me, but I currently attend BU. Though I do agree with the sentiment, don't clog the WL

Noooo, whyyy? Can't they cut down NEXT year, when I'm not applying??

coveyellow · Post by **coveyellow** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 2:29 pm

Now I'm starting to get worried... I would think my numbers would make me an auto-admit but I've been waiting since December. I even sent in a LOCI to show them I'm serious (I live in Boston and would like to stay here). Oh well, I've done about all I can do!

Yea sorry, got too worked up and forgot to check the dates. Just nervous I guess.

Waitlisted. Was gonna be my top choice. Really Sad. Oh well.

166 3.8

njn3 · Post by **njn3** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 2:54 pm

was everyone recently waitlisted emailed at 1223?...that seems to be the common time stamp...

philswfc2008 · Post by **philswfc2008** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 2:56 pm

I know BU can be unpredictable, and things aren't always completely fluid, but considering that practically everyone waitlisted earlier today had better stats than me (3.33/167), I feel like I'm a goner. Not too surprising considering BU is a reach to begin with (LSP has me at "Deny")...maybe a miracle will happen and I will have a shot...we'll see
