Hello all!
My name is Christian, and I applied to BU under the ED2 program. I applied to the Wheelock College of Education and Human Development. (If you want to see my stats, I posted a “chance me” thread).
I noticed that the ED1 applicants had a thread where they discussed decisions and any questions they had. I figured this would be helpful for a lot of us, even if it is just to vent!
hi there! Im Katie and I applied for film in ED2 as well, though I’m a bit nervous because I heard that ED2 has a lower acceptance rate than both ED1 and RD? has anyone heard about this? I was just reading it from a thread from 2017. sorry I don’t mean to scare anyone but im just asking for thoughts, im not entirely sure on the credibility of the stats either.
Hey!
I heard that ED2 does have a slightly lower acceptance rate than ED1, but higher than RD. I have read that the acceptance rate is lower than ED1 due to ED1 applicants consisting more so of scouted and signed athletes, as well as legacy students. Looking at it in this light, I don’t think it puts any of us at a large disadvantage, and if anything still helps us above RD applicants.
Very true. Thank you for your thoughts.
Does anyone know when did ED2 decisions came out last year?
Last year they came out on the 7th, which was a Thursday, but were listed to be released on the 15th. In past years they have posted them on Fridays or Mondays. My guess is that ours will be posted on Friday the 7th, Monday the 10th, or maybe even Thursday the 6th. My bet is on the 7th, but who knows! They’re supposed to be released on Saturday the 15th but they seem to always come out earlier.
Wow okay, that’s earlier than I expected hahaha
Anyone knows what was the acceptance rate for ED1 or EA.
can we expect the decisions in the next 4 days? Boston College is releasing their ED2 decisions tomorrow so I was wondering if BU could be releasing their’s sooner?
Last year they were released on the 7th, as mentioned by christiandavid056.
I was speaking to a member of the financial aid office and they said they were finishing up the ED2 financial aid applications, so I would assume they will be done by the end of this week, if not by the 10th. I think they will be released on the 7th at 4pm et.
Hola!
My name is Ray and IMMM A CALI BOYYY. I ED II Boston University for CAS. Im extremely nervous ngl lmao. I kinda screwed up my junior year and got a lot of B’s and once C. But that is with a total of 15 AP Classes so I’m not sure. My midyears came out well and I described the conditions present in my junior year that caused my terrible grade drop. My unweighted ended up 3.7 and weighted 4.2 , SAT Superscore 1510 and ACT Superscore 33. I had extensive curriculars but only a couple have correlation with my major. Can someone chance me ??? Thank you <3
Hey!! I was accepted ED 1 and I would say that with your stats, especially your test scores, you have a pretty good chance of being accepted. I kinda had a similar situation with my grades my junior year, so as long as you thoroughly explained the issue I think you should be alright. Good luck!!!
Anyone hear anything about releasing ED II decisions?
They said it’s coming out on Feb 15. Did BU send anyone email to send them extra requirements?
I thought people last year got their decisions back earlier.
Last year they came out the seventh and the year prior the eighth . ( for ED 2) These two days are gonna be terrifying to wait
Yeah, on the thread from last year people started getting them at 4pm on the 7th (Thursday). I turned on every BU social media notification I could find today lol.
Guys, the portal is down, could this mean something?
@laatulaataltu my portal is down as well! But I applied RD
yes but if they’ll be down, they will be down for all applicants not specifically the ed2 ones.
