BU 2011 Applicants Forum

[Eugenie Danglars]

Just went complete, finally. Since that took over a month, I'm not expecting a decision anytime soon.

Then, the Thursday after Thanksgiving, they sent out a ton of acceptances.

Question: were these acceptances given through e-mail or over the phone?

Aren't BU acceptances via phone?

I was referring to last year's December acceptances.

I was referring to last year's December acceptances.

They were by phone.

I'm really hoping they follow the pattern they did last year. Last year on that Thursday, it was about 30-40 people on LSN who got decisions (which is obviously just a sample, so there were probably a ton of acceptances).

[HeavenWood]

I guess no decisions are going out today?

[Gemini]

I guess no decisions are going out today?

According to LSN, no.

Everyday is torture.

Do we know if there is a pattern of how decisions are released? Weekly? Biweekly? Or just randomly?

That's what I'm wondering. Also why do you think there will be no decisions today? Didn't someone say earlier that a bunch went out the Thursday after Thanksgiving last year?

[HeavenWood]

Apparently, BU gave some decisions on Fridays last cycle. Here's hoping for tomorrow!

If you conveyed half of this enthusiasm in your application (via PS, additional essays, etc.), I wouldn't worry about getting in (assuming you have relatively competitive numbers).

[Gemini]

The only additional essay option BU has is a Diversity Statement, which doesn't suit me. I'm a white girl lol. Nothing really diverse about that.

Here's hoping.

[itsnotrealme]

I didn't get that either....That being said, the last fall that I went to school was 2003.

Hmm... does that mean like the equivalent of "deferred" like until later in the cycle? Are you a bit of a splitter?

Didn't get it, but people in last years thread mentioned it. I don't remember if there was any pattern to it though.

Yeah I mean I shouldn't really have a shot being a 165/3.65; I was just wondering if I was a special case, if this was standard and what other people who were getting this email were planning on doing.

I have to be honest, I'm not really considering BU at this point but was just surprised that there wasn't any action on this thread earlier today after I'd received the email. I thought it'd be a mass-mailing sort of deal and these sorts of things tend to blow TLS threads up.

[lawgrl21]

That is a little odd since you're not really a splitter. What time did the email come?
