[ *] SAT I (breakdown): 1970 (660 math 660 writing 650 reading)
[ *] ACT: 29 (30 english 30 reading 28 science 27 math) but waiting on the December scores…
[ *] SAT II: 730 math I, 620 math II
[ *] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.3 (trash… but straight 3.5-3.7 since last semester sophomore year. Freshmen year killed my gpa…hoping the strong upward trend helps.)

[ *] Job/Work Experience: No paid jobs
[ *] Volunteer/Community service:

[ *] Counselor Rec: She said she emphasized my “diversity”… I’d probably say 7-8/10
[ *] Additional Rec: 10/10 from the head of otolaryngology at the hospital. Obviously haven’t read it, but I’m sure it’s really good
[ *] Intended Major: Biology, Pre-med

General Comments: I consider BU a stretch still as EDII, but I really have no idea. Any input from you guys would be great as to my chances of admission.

Hey guys. Anyone applying EDII to Questrom?

4

5

7

8

@soxman111 You international by any chance? What are your stats?

9

Have ED decisions come out? My S applied RD…wondering when they come out!! Thanks!!

10

EDI came out in December. RD comes out in mid March.

11

Does anyone know when EDII will come out?

12

@bostonbound123 Feb 15

13

Do we know if there is any chance that we will hear back earlier than that?

14

@bostonbound123 I personally don’t think they will be released earlier. Chances are they will be released on February 15th exactly.

15

I thought ED1 results were released earlier than the posted dec 15 date. Hopefully that will apply to EDII

16

@lilysc is right, ed1 results came out dec 11. There’s a chance that our results come out a few days early as well.

17

Did not as many people apply for EDII? Just wondering because this has a lot less posts than the ED1

18

@lilysc yeah i think so, EDII is definitely less popular than EDI

19

This is the first year that EDII was offered by BU.

Hi everyone! I also applied ED 2. I checked my BU applicant link today and noticed the description changed from “our records indicate you have applied early decision to Questrom School of Business” to just “our records indicate you have applied to Questrom School of Business.” Did this happen to anyone else? Does it mean anything?
