Okay so BC, Tufts, and Northeastern came out already. Do you think there is a chance it might come out today?

Hi guys I’m applying ED2 to BU and I wanted to see what you guys think my chances are. I applied to the COS program and BU has been my dream school since I was little. I have a 3.8 WGPA with a 30 on the ACT. I did a lot of extra curricular activities but I did not take too many AP classes. This may be a reach for me but I’m really hoping for it! Also, when do you think we will find out?
Someone on Twitter asked and BU admissions responded that results would be released early to mid-February so I’m thinking it might be a possibility? I’ll be checking my portal to see if anything vanishes or gets updated!

I personally think you have as good as a chance as any of us! BU has gotten really really competitive this year (I think like 76k+ applied for this cycle) and the recent report said that the ED1 averages were around a 3.7 UW GPA and 33 ACT. However, I think that they pride themselves on holistic admissions and will really take into account your essays and EC’s. I think stats for admission into CGS are a little bit lower than the ones above, so I genuinely think you have a good shot! I’ll be manifesting for both of us hehe
Thank u so much! What r the odds it comes out today? Is it zero?
Can u send this thread?
hey y’all! I applied ed2 and I was wondering if anyone got a financial aid email? I got one about 3 weeks ago asking for my parents tax return even through they confirmed my FAFSA and CSS. and it wasn’t a mass email and unspecific or anything like that, it was from a guy in the financial aid office and he introduced himself and everything. is this a good sign? I saw for some other schools that this was a good sign, especially for need blind. I am SO nervous!
Wait so there is a chance they come out today?
I didn’t get any email like that! If there is a guy that introduced himself in the email, that sounds like a good sign! Don’t take my word for it though haha
No, I do not think so. It is 4pm EST now, so it seems unlikely. I would not listen to the people saying that BC AND NU released ED2 so BU will release earlier than usual. I think it will prob be next Friday at the earliest as that is closer to the 15th
Both NEU and BC said by feb 15 as well. I’m not sure about tufts
tufts said mid feb

aren’t we supposed to get an email a couple days before telling us to make sure we can log into our portals? does BU not do that because every other school ik did that…
Any guesses on what day we think it releases? Getting really nervous and would love to hear others thoughts I’m lost!

Honestly based on the fact they already had 1 portal shut down, the history of their releases, and their Twitter comment saying early to mid feb I’m guessing Monday.

Hi everyone! I did a little math for the potential ED2 acceptance rate. All the info is from CollegeKickStart.
The acceptance rate for ED 1 was 44% with 2,942 applicants, meaning around 1295 people got in. There are apparently 3,200 spots left, and BU is aiming for around 53% of their total co 2025 class to be from the ED cycles. The ED2 pool seems to be made of 2,778 applicants.
Now, for total class size, 1295 (ED1 acceptances) + 3200 = 4494ish.
53% of 4494 is 2381. Then 2381 (combined ED) - 1295 (ED1) is 1086 spots left for ED2.
1086/2778 makes for around a 39% acceptance rate for this ED2 cycle. I don’t know if this is reassuring or not, but I hope it gives a little more insight. We’re so close y’all!! I’ll be rooting for everyone!
