Just got the call!! I'm at work so I didn't answer but I got a voicemail. Admissions packet in the mail. Now I hope for $$.

Thanks for the support everyone!! I love that this group is so excited/nervous for me. We need to coordinate our ASW schedules so we can meet up

Congrats!!

I was out of town since last thursday and just came home to see my BU acceptance packet waiting in the mail!
The personalized note from the dean was a super nice touch. I'm really digging them and can't wait for scholarship info to come out Jan-Feb!

So I applied RD ~10/18ish and I previously had application complete and the message at the top was the thing about "ED will hear by 12/21 and a variety of RD applications will hear early December for a variety of reasons, etc. but many will hear later in the season" and it just changed to:

"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."

Any ideas from those who have a decision already?

And does BU do "Under Review" on the status checker?

No UR for status checker...it just stays complete, unfortuantely.

This change happened for a lot of us. There is some speculation that it indicates that you're UR but no real proof of that. You may be the Guinea Pig...we'll see if you get a decision soon-ish.

I'm in the same boat. I applied right around the same time and also have a different message. I'm not sure when it changed though. Hopefully this means we're under review.

I don't know why it would change if we weren't. Fingers crossed! I usually check my status checkers everyday (sometimes compulsively every few hours) and checked it this morning when it had the old message and then just checked it when I saw it changed.

I don't believe my message ever said the ED thing, just the complete and ready for review thing. I haven't gotten my decision yet but I applied a couple weeks ago.

I applied on December 5th, and I have the ED message still. Le sigh.

Just checked and saw you can get reimbursed for $300 for the ASW; glad to hear it as that'll at least cover the flight from KC there. Planning on the 24th.

Is that reimbursement only if you choose to attend BU?

GWU reimburses up to $250.... if you matriculate there

Luckily, it's for all. (Provided you're far away)

Exact language:

Boston University School of Law’s travel stipend program will reimburse up to $300 for transportation and lodging costs incurred to attend a scheduled Preview Day. The program is for those Preview Day attendees traveling over 300 miles, one way, and can only be applied toward travel, not food. You must stay for the entire event, sign out at the completion, and submit your receipts within two weeks in order to be eligible for reimbursement. Please note that the number of stipends is limited. To request a travel stipend, please register for a Preview Day and email bulawadm@bu.edu with your request and expected travel expenses.

Welp, I'm about 2000 miles away so... Lol. That's nice to know. Still waiting on a decision but if I'm accepted, I'd definitely love to check it out. Haven't been to Boston before

Yeah; 1500 or so for me. I've only been once but I really enjoyed it!

Haven't visited in the winter yet though! May make me rethink things haha

[tuesdayninja]

Checking in. Just submitted my app but I have a pending December LSAT score so not expecting a decision for a while.

[ashrice13]

Got my admissions packet in the mail. it doesn't look like deferred ED people are get scholarship info early this year (or at least i'm not), the packet says scholarship info to Be reviewed in late January

Planning in the 24th too. Guys we should all go on the same day and wear name tags with our TLS names on them for easy identification. Ashrice13 is my full name...my parents had a sick sense of humor

I would enjoy that! Really worried about getting stuffed with scholarship though.. that will determine a lot for me.

[carasrook]

my status checker message changed from the ED message to a message saying those who submit by feb 1 will likely hear by early april, maaaybe that means UR?

[LawSchoolTitan]

It seems like the past few weeks the most action were on Mondays... So here is to hoping that this is the week!

You better be right for the sake of Ash.

Well I mean, this is based off lawschoolnumbers data... Calls appear to come in the afternoon to a small group of people. I wish they could just send a mass email to all of us instead.

If you're right and I get the call today I will send you a gift.

so about that gift....
