Boston University-Class of 2023

I’ve heard typically 2-3 PM. Not sure though.

Hey guys! So I applied RD to BU early October but now I’m thinking about possibly applying ED. Is there anyway that I can switch to ED 2?

You can call the admissions office during their open hours and tell them you’d like to change it :slight_smile:

Which message is supposed to change the application credential status or the home page? Mine hasn’t changed yet.

I really want to apply Ed instead but I don’t know how I’ll convince my dad! My mom is totally on board with it. However, my dad is worried about the money (we could realistically afford it though). I’ve heard that BU is pretty generous with money but I’m not positive. Does anyone have any information about BU and it’s financial aid that I could tell my dad to help him get on board with me applying ED?

My message just changed today! It now says the thank you message!

I’ve heard that they can sometimes screw people with financial aid.

What does the change to “thank you” message signify? I remember posts mentioning them, but still unsure of the significance. Thank you!

People say that getting the “thank you” message means you got accepted however that is just speculation… if you look at the tread from last year there was a handful of people who got rejected with the thank you message. It’s all speculation… official decisions will be released on dec 15 according to their website.

I am sending my application tonight to meet the Trustee Scholarship deadline! I am applying as RD for the Astronomy and Physics major. My SAT score did not reach their average score, but my ranking and GPA is good! Good luck to everyone.

DS finished final touches on Trustees and Kilachand essays tonight and clicked submit!

Now we wait for Monday (QB Match Day).

Hey, I applied as an ED1 applicant and it’s December 9th so decisions are rumored to start coming out tomorrow but my message currently says:

Our records indicate that you have applied to the College of Arts & Sciences as an Early Decision candidate for the September 2019 semester. If this information is not correct, or if you would like to change the college or school of application, please call BU Admissions during regular business hours.

so it says “our records indicate” but also with the early decision part. Everyone has said so far that it should change to be without “early decision candidate” 2 weeks in but mine hasn’t changed yet and decisions come out this week. Does anyone know what that means? Maybe they changed the messages this year?

Just a note on Northeastern I think they don’t add the pathway accepted students in the pool. A lot get sent out to campuses globally and then transfer in. It’s another way to push down the acceptance rate. Seems schools are playing games until they get caught (GWU) a few years ago

@airway1 Just like BU now admits all CGS students to the January program so their stats are not counted and they are not included in the Fall acceptance rate.

@TomSrOfBoston seems they are all playing the game… crazy stressing out the kids when not needed

Daughter admitted ED today and given a great package!! Yay

applied rd to meche

1450 SAT
4.4 W/3.7 UW GPA

good luck guys :slight_smile:

I applied RD before Dec. 1st for the Trustee, and decided to apply to CAS. Good luck to everyone!

I sent in the application an hour late I hope it ok

Does anyone know if the acceptance rate is lower for COM than CAS?
