@Cupidity, can't tell if BU or Fordham...

BU, I had them in a negotiation fight during my admissions cycle. After visiting Fordham, I realized I'd rather die and go to the seventh circle of hell than spend one year there, unlike BU, where I get drunk, go to hockey games, and get sick grades.

Yeah I visited Fordham. Surprised the building is still standing, it's so run down. But apparently they will have a new one by the time the class of 2015 hits their 3L year.

To be perfectly honest, even with their higher ranking, i might not choose bu over bc .

*gasps* Blasphemy! For some reason, I've always felt like BU was a more prestigious institution than BC, despite the peer ranking and similar job prospects.

Maybe for law, but I think institutionally, taken as a whole, BC has the better name, at least in New England.

Anyone in this thread get in ED? if so stats? deadline was today correct?

[Cupidity]

That is because you are a tool, and all tools self-select into BC.

TITCR - BC definitely has the better name in New England. Which is weird since BU's law and business programs are stronger IMO.

But you'll still hear this: "you should be able to get into BU, or maybe even BC!"

Just visit the schools. They have very distinct personalities.

still, this seems like an awfully judgey thing to say to someone like slayer, who is awesome.

[thelawschoolproject]

I prefer BC over BU.


But, I'm probably a tool.

[lrslayer]

whoa! why am i a tool?

1) i haven't even got into bu yet and possibly may not, so no selection has been made.
2) i haven't visited either school yet, i was merely speculating based on:
3) i prefer a suburb to a city due to having a family


you don't even know me and you called me a tool?! wow. just wow.

I'd prefer either at this point! Come on Boston.

[minnbills]

At this point, I will settle for an acceptance to either....

[IronSkadden]

Accepted at BU RD. Got the call around an hour ago. Smiled when I saw the MA area code.

For the record, it was totally a joke and one that would probably make more sense to someone currently attending the school. BC tends to be a bit younger and frattastic while BU is a bit older and a bit nerdier. That said, all kinds of people attend both schools, and these stereotypes are broad and largely indefensible over-generalizations. Regardless though, who doesn't love hating on a rival every once in a while, especially when their hockey team is so terrible.

Did you update on 12/19?

Congrats! You were rolled from ED to RD and accepted, correct?

We're essentially numbers twins (though I have a pending December score and my GPA is a flat 3.5) so I'm hoping to have good news soon.

I wonder when the cutoff is for phone calls? 5pm?

[Husky07]

In via voicemail! Another 12/19 person. Applied in mid september with a few updates in between

Thanks. Yeah, I was deferred from ED to RD. Good luck!

[sanguar]

Did anyone get ED? Or was it a scam?

Congrats to the admits!!

i never want to be a tool in my life!

[cstan]
