Thank you for the information @minimickey .
BU requests quarter grade to be sent even for early decision. Anyone know if school counselor can upload this grade in “optional report” in common app? Or is it better to send by parchment or email?

@delaczayl I read ED has twice the acceptance rate compare to RD. Are you going to submit ACT test score?

Undecided. I feel she should as she’s within their 50%ile.

If my kid apply for “undeclared major” in CAS of BU, will it be harder to get admitted compared to select a specific major in CAS?

In addition, what type of students a linguistic major is looking for? Know multiple languages, good at math or CS?
New parent here. D23 ranked BU as Questbridge finalist, and she’s strongly considering ED1 if she doesn’t match. She applied to Comm as Media Science major. Good luck everyone!

Anyone is notified about missing mid year report? My son sent by parchment on Oct 24 but they said never received it. So the counselor had to email the report directly to BU. Anyone has the sampe problem?
Sorry for the delay. We had the exact same problem and my daughter’s counselor submitted it directly. It’s now showing in her portal as received.

Yes, we had to call the admissions office, and they finally confirmed to have received the midterm grade. Now we wait until December 15th for the decision, fingers crossed!

Hi everyone! does anyone have any indication as to what day this week decisions will be released? My thought was it will be monday, tuesday or wednesday (before the 15th)
Last year was Dec 14? Don’t know this year
The website says December 15th, my guess is that it will be that date around 3-5 pm ish. Wishing you the best
