Anyone else just get an email from BU IT congratulating you "again" on your acceptance and giving you access to their online services when you HAVEN'T heard back from BU admissions yet?

Sounds like your friends are playing a prank on you for April Fool's. Your shitty, shitty friends, aka your new enemies.

I thought the same thing except for the fact that the email leads to a website that lets you set up your account which would be way overly sophisticated for an April Fool's Prank.

Just got admissions packet in the mail. 120k scholly. Floored and that is going to be hard to turn down. Blew BC out of the water.

Accepted via email!

They're not doing phone calls anymore?

Yesterday was admitted students day, so they might've been busy with that.

Anyone successfully negotiated scholarships twice? I got raised 5k a year after sending a negotiation email, but would need a minimum of 5k more on top of that to go there.

i'm still waiting on them to get back to me re: my first attempt at negotiations, they said they'd review my file. about how long did it take for them to get back to you after you first tried to negotiate, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm sorry to hear; it's quite strange that BU would reject someone with your LSAT score.

I feel like their jump in rankings is causing them to take a closer look at splitters. I fear I am next haha

I wonder if my rejection was a result of applying late(Jan), my c&f issue, my splitter status, or their rise in rankings.

Not that this will make you feel any better, but I got WL'ed today with a later app, lower LSAT and lower GPA. Guessing it might have been C&F or softs (or YP?), unfortunately.

Has anyone admitted last week received scholly info?

No, but from what I've seen it's typically been pretty slow so I wasn't holding my breath or anything.

Is it possible to negotiate more after you pay tge deposit and after the deadline? I'm assuming money will be coming back. I negotiated a small increase 2 weeks ago and am hoping to negotiate another increase.

I just got denied for an increase, but am hoping to ask again after the deadline.. I was thinking of actually depositing at both Temple (full ride) and at BU (30K/year). I have a visit planned to see BU in May and was going to visit the fin aid office to tell them I'm still considering both schools and ask again for reconsideration. Seems like a lot of money gets freed up in the pot after deposit deadlines. Does anyone have any experience/advice on this?
