@kw1127 mine also changed!! I don’t understand why they would have the same message for acceptance and rejection
There are three different messages that the applicant link will show
“Our records indicate you have applied to [insert college here] as an Early Decision candidate”
This is the basic message. You get this message no matter what initially
The next two messages are what your message could later change to:
“Thank you for applying to [insert college here] as an Early Decision candidate”
This message includes Early Decision and in the past it has correlated with acceptance.
This next message is entirely different than the first:
“Our records indicate you have applied to [insert college here] for the [upcoming school year]”
This message does not include Early Decision in the message, unlike the one you get when you make the applicant account. In the past it has been correlated with referral or denial
^^this is what I found from last year. Idk I don’t think we should totally rely on this as one kid got rejected with the thank you message
@lzd1234 we got the second one
@airway1 yup
I had the thank you message, but the portal just closed down
does that mean they’re finalizing decisions?
I ended up changing my application to regular decision. Kind of weird since I started this thread but as the date came closer and closer, I felt that I made the wrong decision to commit.
Oh damn, its okay trust your gut
question- so i never submitted the CSS Profile, just the FAFSA (by the deadline)… is this a big deal for financial aid …?
Call the school ASAP I have no idea about Financial Aid as I qualify for nothing
@ibjunior "Both the CSS Profile™ and the FAFSA are required to apply for BU-funded financial aid as a first time recipient. "

No need based aid without the CSS. You may get merit aid.
Okay, the main issue was that my mom didn’t have the forms she needed to fill it out so we just kept delaying it… if I submit it today and contact the school will I be fine for financial aid? Since i’m ED 2, and my income is under 30k, i’m basically screwed if I don’t get sufficient aid
Also, do you think decisions will come out tomorrow or friday? Last year it was the 8th (on a Thursday) and the year before i believe it was the 10th (on a Friday)
The deadline to file FAFSA and CSS profile for EDII was Jan 2. Did you file the FAFSA by then?

You will need to call the financial aid office tomorrow to see if there is any wiggle room. Good luck.
Yep, I was under the impression it was just the FAFSA and I didn’t know until recently… hopefully they’ll give me enough aid (if i get in)
Are you filing the CSS tonite? You really do need to call the fin aid office tomorrow.
Yeah definitely, I’m going to call tomorrow as well. I’m scared though because if decisions come out around 2pm tomorrow it might be too late… do decisions and aid come together or separate ?
^^Don’t know timing of decisions and aid. You will find out when you call tomorrow
You can definitely call the financial aid office and work with them once you get your decision
My decision came out today!! I got in and i’m so excited :))) good luck to everyone!!
