Finally had to create my first post on here because I'm starting to freak out seeing all of these acceptances & scholarship offers. My application went complete 11/5 -- median LSAT and GPA between median & 25th. I still haven't heard a thing and, of course, BU doesn't update their status checker

Can anyone tell me how long the average turn around time has been?

My good friend is >75% LSAT <50% GPA and applied in mid November and still hasn't heard back. My application went complete in early January and I'm at/above both 75% and haven't heard anything yet either. I wouldn't worry yet, I think unlike other schools BU has a weird method of going through the apps and sending out answers.

I got a resume update request yesterday, first time I've heard anything from BU since I applied in early December... >75% LSAT, between 25% and median GPA. Hope a decision is coming soon

Weird method? Care to elaborate?

I received a BU mailing yesterday containing a guide to Boston (something like Top Ten Boston). Has anyone else received this?

Anyone else waiting to hear back regarding the PI scholarship? I'm hoping offers go out soon and really hoping by the end of the month. Also, is there an interview for the scholarship? General thoughts?

Oh, okay. Any idea when and how an invitation to interview might be extended?

They didn't say. I saw it in one of the forums. I'd look for it now but I'm on my phone so limited mobility

Still waiting. Was also admitted in early December but haven't heard anything yet

Just got the admit call. Applied 1/14, status checker never (and still hasn't) changed. I was told that they're currently reviewing PI applications and hope to notify in the next few weeks.

[Captainduff]

Also in via phone call. complete 1/8, no status change in between now and then. letter in the mail, should arrive by next week they said

[harvardorbust2016]

Checking in. Just submitted this morning,splitter stats. It's a month later than the rest of my apps, BU wasn't even on my radar at first but it's grown on me.

[marisacb1012]

Does anyone know (roughly) how many people are awarded the Public Interest Scholarship?

[dogs123]

I've been complete since 11/2 and have yet to hear anything. Anyone in the same boat?

Also complete in November, haven't heard a thing. Decisions seem to be issued very haphazardly in terms of when apps were submitted. Hoping to hear soon...

[monceau]

Complete since 12/9, nothing since other than an email last week asking for a resume update
