Boston University RD 2023

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to make a thread for everyone that applied to BU Regular Decision. I applied to Questrom before the Dec 1st scholarship deadline and waiting to hear back! Feel free to share your stats/decisions when they come out!!

I’m applying BU Math RD.
I’m an International

Hi! I’m applying RD to COM. I also applied before the Dec 1st scholarship deadline, and I’m really hoping to get in! I’m a little worried about my chances because I know someone who got deferred ED, which made me a little nervous! Wishing everyone good luck!

Did anyone write anything for the optional prompt on the common app?

I applied to CAS :slight_smile: 3.6 uw gpa, 35 ACT (35/33/36/35), several ECs w/ lots of commitment, 10 APs, decent essays. My stats are on the low side, but I’m hoping for the best

Applied to CAS before Dec 1st. Have the thank you message but not sure if that means anything

I applied RD for CAS as well - I want to go the astrophysics and space physics route. Also applied before Dec. 1st for the Trustee scholarship and Kilachand. Happy holidays to all of you!

I applied to Sargent College before Dec 1st. Anyone know when the decisions come out? I saw “late March” on their website but nothing more specific than that. Good luck to everyone! :slight_smile:

Last year it was March 17th

I need some advice lol, I got deferred from ED1 and my semester grade just went down after midterms (AP Chem sucks lol) should I still send in my semester grades?

@emkatherinerine you probably should- from what I understand, colleges use deferrals to give you a chance to show them advancement- semester grades are part of that. But idk it depends how much your grade dropped lol

I believe you are required to submit midyear grades.

What is the best way to prepare for the SMED interview?

My son applied but did not get information about the portal or where to sign up. Does he need to email the school or go through the website or something else?

@BobMahloonga your son should have received an email shortly after applying to BU that gave instructions on setting up his BU portal account.

@BobMahloonga , the same thing happened to my son, he did not get an email immediately after applying in the fall. He and his guidance counselor had to email and call admissions. They verified application was received, email on file was correct etc. They said that it was sent upon original arrival of application. Finally after they resent a second time (so 3x total), he finally received it. Not sure where it was going the first two times ?

Does anyone know when the RD results for BU will be out?
