I had my school send my first quarter grades but since our semester is ending today they are waiting to send my first semester grades instead of first quarter grades. I’m so nervous! The message still hasn’t changed but is it possible they haven’t reviewed my application yet?
@plantlover101 I’m sure they’re just waiting on your senior year grades to review your application and make a decision! Don’t stress; it sometimes takes up to two weeks for them to process application materials. Just get all of your info in and hope for the best!
At this point, it’s reasonable to think they have not COMPLETED reviewing your app b/c your school (my school 0has not sent a piece of the application.
I asked my school if they were sure they sent my first quarter grades, because first semester grades aren’t available yet, and she said she sent them January 8th but on my Applicant Link it still says it’s missing. Is it possible they haven’t reviewed my application? My message is still “Our records indicate…”
Thank you so much, @sunflowerlover for the information and I have been following the “acceptance language” issue in the ED1 thread as my son has applied ED2. His language changed to the “thank you…with ED”, yesterday and I was absolutely thrilled. I did some searching on the ED2 class of 2020 and 2021 and I don’t think this language means anything for ED2 candidates since some with the thank you language got either accepted or rejected outright. What are your thoughts? Wishing everyone all the best next year!
Hi Terrier29. When did your son submit his app, and when do you think your son’s application was complete (midyear grades submitted, eg)?
Hi @YoungOne4. My son applied on January 2nd. and submitted his quarter grades and transcript immediately. His semester recently ended so they won’t receive those grades until the week of the 5th. They also have all his scores. I would say his file was complete just last week because he had to re-request his transcripts.
Thank you @Terrier29. It sounds like for ED2 they had what they needed last week, and the change came a few weeks later. I am RD, and my Mid-Year report went in yesterday afternoon. I am hoping for “the change” in the coming weeks. :-S
Last few years its been that or 11th. 12th is Monday while 11th is Sunday.
@Terrier29 Where did you see that??? I looked on the ED2 thread from last year like a week ago and didn’t see anything that broke the trend but I never checked ED2 for 2020 so maybe that was different!
@Terrier29 Oh and congrats to your son!!! 
Hope to see him at BU!
@YoungOne4 the wording/differences in messages doesn’t apply to RD applicants. For a while I thought it did, but when I looked through the RD thread from last year I realized that some people that were accepted had “Our records” and some the “Thank you” message and vice versa (if you heard that from me that it was a thing I’m sorry hahahah I think I accidentally misled a bunch of people)
I don’t mean to alarm anyone, @sunflowerlover. I was so excited to see the change in my son’s portal and I read the ED1 thread and was so happy! Then, I started scanning specifically a short 10 page thread entitled Boston University Class of 2021 ED11 Thread, and @Asham98 got rejected and had “thank you”. I wish I were wrong! Please read and tell me what you think! Pages 4 and 8 of that thread
Is it just me, or is the BU Applicant Link down right now?
Nvm. It’s back up. Strange.
@Terrier29 You’re absolutely right… I can’t believe I missed that. I didn’t look through the entire thread very closely this time but my gut reaction was that maybe for ED2 the thank you message means you are either accepted or rejected and the our records message if you still have it by results means that you are deferred?? I’m just speculating, but since I guess you can be rejected during ED2 perhaps that is how they separate the piles since I’m fairly positive you can’t be rejected during ED1???
Do you guys think it could be this friday?? The past two years it’s been the friday before Feb 15
can somebody please explain to me thank you v.s our records indicate as well
@NYC1219 I was also suspecting the 9th, but a few people have said the 12th
Did anyone’s portal just go down
