Good to know, thanks for sharing.
Applied: 11/5
Complete: 11/8
The wait begins...

LawLucy, how did your application get complete so fast? I applied a week earlier than you, but haven't gone complete yet.

Also, Just got a viewbook (and fee waiver I'd already gotten) in the mail, and I have to say, I'm really dissappointed by the quality of the viewbook :/

The information is fine, but the print and production quality, along with the aesthetics, are severely lacking, especially compared to peer schools. (USC, eg). Why is every third page a large picture of a random student or faculty member, with only 2 pictures of boston or the campus? I know BU's campus is ugly, but come on.

It's a theme of "B(be) U(you)." But I agree, they didn't pull it off, which resulted in an unattractive viewbook (comparing to Michigan or Cornell).

I have to say, Cornell's viewbook is impossibly good. It takes your attention off the fact that it is located in Siberia.

I THOUGHT I went into review according to the email I received. Nada.
I applied 11/5 and found out yesterday, they still haven't received the LSDAS report. wtf?
:o
I have a feeling this is going to be a slow cycle and then BAM, we will all start getting some notification.

Is there a status checker? I just got an email from them saying you're complete, we'll keep you posted. That was a few weeks ago. They also sent me a piece of pie in the mail.

Nevermind on the last part. The pie wasn't from them after all.

Man, I would a pie from BU, and I don't think BU has a status checker.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
