I for one DO think a 4/1 deadline is unfair. Most schools are 4/15 and what if you're on a waitlist to another school? Most first time deposits are nonrefundable. It's really nice if they are, but in my case, for example, it's not. Why can't it just be May 1? That's even better lol.
damn, BU is 4/1?
I thought it was April 15.
thanks 42, at least someone knows what is going on!!

Idk...I for one think this is getting a little ridiculous. I applied in late November. If I have to wait until April to hear back, I'll be really upset. Most of my seat deposits are due on 4/1 and are non-refundable. Unless BU wants to pay the difference, I don't think they should be giving decisions past mid-March.

I paid them to look over my application and give me a decision in an appropriate time frame. Time for them to hold up their end of the bargain.

it wasn't stated that we have to have a decision by a certain time. i applied in middle of Oct, so i've been waiting a month longer than you.

then we'll both be waiting until a few weeks after march 1(deadline) which then they'll start using splitters and reverse splitters to fill up the remaining spots to maintain/improve their stats.

a few weeks AFTER 3/1 so they can see the entire pool. they need a few weeks to at least process the last minute applications. and yes people who send in apps today will get priority over us if they have auto accept numbers.

i'm used to it now. my cycle has been pretty horrible so far.

I'm pretty sure I'll be there. I'm just waiting on money from both BU and BC to make a final decision.

I know! I love the school, but it's hard to justify paying full price.

Edit: Congrats on your Gtown acceptance!

Edit: I just don't like the thought of so much debt. I still love the school though.

I think you misunderstood. I wasn't saying "getting #1 isn't hard", I was saying "making the decision to pay full price for #1" isn't that hard. IE: BU is totally worth it.

Princeton review has about 10 categorical ratings, BU crushes several of them. Top for best classroom experience and best faculty, also high ranked for job prospects, out of 177 schools included.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
