I agree with the above post...And would like to add that we greatly appreciate the info

I went complete on 11/22 and have not heard a peep since. 166/3.6/2 years Teach for America/Masters/Excellent rec's...I'm thinking I should have better than a 50% shot at admission, no? BU Alum too.

Call me BU!

Call me BU!

That's worth about 10-15k per year.

Judging by the dates of people accepted, I'm becoming more convinced that BU just has a bunch of names on the wall, written on sticky notes, and they bring a blind guy in to throw a dart at a name. If it hits your name, you get a call.

It's the only reasonable explanation that makes sense.

I sure hope so! I mean, I'm willing to throw more money at BU, they should let me in

Does BU call everyone who is accepted throughout the entire cycle? It seems like that would take a realllly long time...

xtine · Post by **xtine** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 5:10 pm

Congrats, everybody! Now why won't they call meeeee?

I know UVA does it too. It might take awhile, but it's probably pretty nice/fun for the admissions people to give the good news themselves and hear the excited responses/squeals

Lol, I don't know about squealing, but I will definitely project some enthusiasm.

...assuming they call me, of course.

Gemini · Post by **Gemini** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 5:27 pm

I would scream in joy.

Pllllease BU, please call me!

It seems people who have gone complete mid November have begun receiving acceptances. I also went complete mid November but no phone call. I only hope they're simply taking a bit long with me due to my shitty LSAT score and not deciding to WL/reject me.

TLS stats show people in your GPA/LSAT range getting accepted!

I'm sure you'll have no troubles.

I hate being on the Left Coast...it's only 1:30 but I know my chances of getting a call today have evaporated. Damn.

xtine · Post by **xtine** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 5:39 pm

Just got a call from "Unknown". I don't normally pick up my phone at work, but seeing from this thread that BU is calling people I was like !!!! and ran out to the hall to answer it. It was 1800-Contact calling about my recent order. ARG!!!

NZA, your stats are so awesome, you don't even need to worry. I actually have a 164, not 163. Still, the TLS stats are highly unrepresentative. Even more so than LSP, which is really really optimistic.

In via phone call, complete 11/15.

Kaitlyn · Post by **Kaitlyn** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:05 pm

In via phone just now. Was completely caught off guard. Complete mid-November.

maritimus · Post by **maritimus** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:09 pm

In at 5 PM EST. 167 / 3.7ish. Complete 11/17.

SortOfObsessed · Post by **SortOfObsessed** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:51 pm

In via voicemail at 4:43 PM. 167/3.7 Complete 11/9/10.

Should have had my phone on me, I knew from stalking this thread that BU was doing calls.

Congrats to everyone so far and I hope to see you at an ASW!

really dumb question, but the phone call won't register as 'unknown' will it?

I think I read in one of the BU interviews that they don't decide on apps in the order that they come in. Some (less than median I suppose) are set aside until more apps come in. I think based on recent numbers of the accepted apps, that perhaps they're first focusing on getting their median numbers set in stone before going on to less stellar apps. Who knows? Sigh.
