what about NYU?
Update on NYU: waitlisted again. I’ve decided to call myself the queen of the waitlist.

Same. Northeastern No-Fit, Then BU Admit as above.
Hi! Since you seem to know a lot about BU, do you think many people will get off of the waitlist this year?
There is a lot of overlap between Northeastern and BU students. Northeastern attracts more career minded students. BU offers more of a traditional campus experience although Northeastern has the more traditional campus, physically. The stats of students are essentially the same.

No idea. In recent years BU has been overenrolled although in 2020 they did go to the waitlist. The uncertainties of COVID make it difficult to predict.

Thank you! My teen applied to one but not the other (don’t know why), so I was curious.
I’m in the Boston area and it used to be that some would apply to NEU as the safety school to BU. But NEU has carved out a nice rep with their co-op program for students that are seeking work experience. But I’m not an expert! BU is a better fit for my science-humanities leaning S but we gave it shot. So we’re another with a split decision- yes from BU, no from NEU.

Thanks for your insights!
BU sounds like a great school. All these schools have gotten so competitive. Good luck to your student at BU! Congratulations!

Same here, adding Tufts: no from Tufts and NEU, yes from BU.

Tufts said no to my S as well. Maybe in a different year…didn’t have enough time to demonstrate interest whereas he’s been tracking BU for a while and toured pre Covid. Happy to have this one!
It’s fun to see the rivalries play out amongst these schools. We’ve been to the Beanpot - a hockey tournament at TD Garden - loved the game as much as the pep bands.

My son hasn’t visited and I’m not sure how he showed interest. Next week after all results are in I may be asking here for more information about BU… a city school would be a big change for him and I haven’t talked with him yet about his preferences.
what’s the CGS acceptance rate
Beanpot is the absolute best! Friends daughter went to BC and we went every year. Will be rooting for BU now!

Well then his credentials must have stood out! 
Besides the Charles River there are some nice natural spaces nearby if that’s important.
