<p>The "interesting facts" are really cool! No, decisions are not up yet...hopefully on Monday :).</p>

3

<p>That's really cool. Was this posted on the BU Admissions site?</p>

4

<p>its under the BU login for admitted students. there is new info on the tab about information for new students</p>

5

<p>I see it now. Thanks. I just checked and they completely updated the New Students info.</p>

6

<p>How can they know the statistics of the class of 2010 if the class hasn't been created yet? Not all of the students will accept the offer of admission, right?</p>

7

<p>I think this applies to only accepted ED applicants, not RD.</p>

8

<p>I think this is just a profile of the accepted class, not the matriculants. If you read closely:</p>

<p>nothin about me up there :/ im uninteresting :p</p>

12

<p>Haha, hairspray_king... That's so cool that u get to find out early like this! I have been waiting for someone to come forward and say, "That's me!!!" since there are some very unique applicants here on CC. Congrats!!</p>

13

<p>whats the different between Boston University Four-Year Colleges and
Boston University College of General Studies ? CGS is basically mean undecided? i feel stupid..:(</p>

14

<p>chc2006: CGS is basically a two year program after which u can transfer to one of BU's colleges. I don't know why people are so down on CGS... It's definitely not for stupid people, and hey, at least you get the same degree in the end. It's better than not getting into BU at all!</p>

15

<p>Thanks Rachel and Shiba...I feel so proud and happy....hehe...</p>

16

<p>Nope. Nothing interesting about me. I was involved in karate but didn't get a black belt. Rats.</p>

17

<p>hairspray_king: Is BU ur first choice?</p>

18

<p>Okay, so they're being posted tomorrow. Anyone know what timeee?</p>

<p>I mean, if I stay up till midnight, will I hear then... or is it more of a 5:00 EST like the Ivies do it?</p>

19

<p>I'll bet it's more like 5:00 EST. I've heard other people say it would be around then, and I would be very suprised if BU set it up to have the decisions be released exactly at midnight.</p>

<p>hairspray_king: that's awesome...i was like 'wow that's really cool' when i read that. what's your band's name?</p>
