Waitlisted.. :shock:

Agree with post above. I’m 164 with a very slightly lower gpa.
If I had maybe 0.1 more gpa I would have been in a better position.. just a guess

I am curious on how many folks are accepted via WL... I know impossible to predict, but wondering if there is a trend

Any guesses when we'll hear back on the public interest scholarship?

Both your numbers are exactly at the 25ths, so I'm assuming the odds of acceptance were even less than 5%.

Did I make a claim as to what my odds were? Did I suggest I should have gotten in? Did I say that I was above the 25ths? Are you mentally defunct?

And you base your claim on knowing next to nothing about me in your infinite wisdom as a TLS troll? Did I make a claim as to what my odds were? Did I suggest I should have gotten in? Did I say that I was above the 25ths? Are you mentally defunct?

Nothing I said was a personal attack. But in all honesty, it doesn't matter if you are an astronaut, an Olympic gold medalist, or cured cancer. The odds of acceptance at any school below both medians is less than 10% regardless of anything else on your application. Period.

Me neither. I was hoping to hear by now, but I guess we just wait it out. Good luck!

Just got the call! Admitted! Submitted 12/22, complete 1/6. First acceptance and a wildly fast turnaround compared to what I was expecting, especially since I'm a splitter. Stats in profile!

In as of 1.16, sorry for late notice. Above both 75ths, got the scholarship info a few days after the (missed) call.

The money's going to make it really hard to go elsewhere but I'm down with Boston in any case.

I am feeling very much ghosted by BU...
Splitter but way above 75th LSAT, hair below 25th GPA. Complete in October. MyLSN had me at 100% which I am increasingly sure is going to be inaccurate.

Literally same, Im also above 75th lsat and 25 GPA 50, and submitted early November, so I thought it would be pretty likely... I'm trying to decide if a "Why BU" would be helpful in any sort of movement on my app one way or the other. Did you write one?

They seem to be very GPA picky this cycle. I was at the 50th for GPA and below the 25th for LSAT and I was accepted relatively quickly. When I look at LSN they seem to be waitlisting/rejecting people with strong LSATs but lower than 50th GPAs.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
