Am I on the wrong page? Why do I see four paragraphs on the page I’m looking at?
Can anyone verify we’re getting decisions this week?
Hi all,
I’ve been following this thread for a while on and off but have never actually posted here. Can anyone clarify the 2P vs 3P thing? Is the 2 paragraphs on the home page of the portal, or under the “application status” tab of the portal?
Good luck to everyone!!
@3521jordan Two paragraphs when you click view your application status. The sentence at the end in it’s own “paragraph” doesn’t count.
3 body paragraphs means either your app has ALREADY been looked at OR HASN’T been looked at, at all (this is the more likely scenario)
2 body paragraphs means they are CURRENTLY doing a final review of your app.
2 body paragraphs means you are very likely to get a decision very very soon, if you have 3 it doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t - because I know people who have been accepted this cycle that never got a 2 paragraph prompt, just got their decision straight from the 3p.
@msport Cool, thanks for clearing that up for me. I’m really not into the idea of stressing about 2p or 3p, I was just unsure exactly what everyone was talking about. I appreciate it!
@msport also, based on the people posting here, it looks like they’re doing waves every week or so. I can’t confirm that for sure, but a friend of mine got accepted 4/3 and I’ve seen some recent posts 4/10-11. If that trend keeps up, we may have a shot at hearing back next week. But again, I can’t confirm that for sure, it may just be coincidence.
@3521jordan People have actually been hearing back every day. It’s just that a large number of applicants received decisions on that first Monday of April and since then it’s been continuous with a few people every day.
@3521jordan yeah, i only asked that because someone said the full decisions are coming out this week. but i doubt it
ACCEPTED!!!COM!!!BU received my midterm report yesterday and released my decision today!!!
@jenjen9796 nice!! congrats!! did your portal change to the 2 paragraph prompt?
@msport I didn’t notice it. I forget to bring my laptop with me today ):
I just got accepted!!! But I found out the result by checking the application status on BU app-link, not by receiving an email. My portal changed from 3 paragraph prompt to 2 paragraphs nine hours before the acceptance if someone is curious, so I guess the modification of paragraph is true if the application is being evaluated and the results will soon be out.
I just got accepted! The strange thing that everybody should be aware of is that unlike other colleges, BU sends decisions in the morning
@TheLastofUs9 did you get an email? and was your paragraph 2p or 3? which school?
thanks and congratulations!
How does BU send out decision? Through email only or snail mail as well?
@miuthecat,

They will sent out email first , and mail the decision letter later, that’s what I got.
Accepted into the College of Arts & Sciences on a $20,000 scholarship! (Will be dual majoring in the College of Communications if I do attend BU)
@maeuni can you share details on your paragraph prompt leading up to the decisions. trying to see if anyone is getting accepted while they still have the 3P prompt. Congrats!
this wait is driving me crazyyyyyyyyyy it’s halfway through april just released all decisions now pls
@msport Yes–I had the 3P prompt after sending in my application (beginning of March), and the 2P prompt appeared mid-March for me. Thank you!!
