@mailbu Really? All this time I thought I had the 2p one… I’m sure I’m not the only one who got confused though as there have been people in this thread saying that the last sentence about verifying your address does not count in the paragraph count.
ACCEPTED! for Questrom School of Business!
Hey are any of you planning on attending the open house on May 4?
@ConcreteJungle1 Yes I am planning on attending!
Got in CAS!!! GPA- 3.56 from UW but a medically documented reason for low 3.33 GPA fall quarter and taking all weed out notorious classes, which was reflected in my recs as professors noted how well I did despite the difficult material. Also attended Phillips Exeter for high school and was early cum laude with a really high GPA. Strong ECs, incredibly strong essays, big home ties to Boston and New England, pursuing neurobiology.
Also, heard around 11pm eastern and my paragraphs changes from 3 to 2 around 1 pm today for those curious how long it took.
still 3P…has anyone heard back on a weekend? they seem to send decisions when they’re out of office…so maybe a weekend???
GOT INTO CAS!!! I don’t know exactly when cuz I was expecting an email telling me my decision was live and I never got one?! but my portal changed from 3p to 2p yesterday around noon and my decision either came out last night or this morning!!!
just got accepted into questrom!! For those who are wondering my portal changed to two paragraphs at around 4 pm yesterday and I got my acceptance letter at 8:30 this morning.
My aid coming today, however I just got $20k. I don’t know what to do since my parrents retired and I’m a full time student! How can B.U determine that?
My BU link is down
Just checked my portal & im at 2P’s!!! I’m gonna try not to get my hopes up because with my luck I’ll be at 2P for weeks, but it’s nice to see something happening lol
Has anyone who turned in their financial aid info late recieved their admissions decision?
Can someone tell me my chances? Applied to College of Arts and Sciences for Psychology. My stats are
College GPA: 3.94
HS GPA: 3.4
College Class Rank: 2/998
Currently on a medical leave of absence, but I talked to an admissions counselor and they said that doesn’t play into decision.
I’m in one online class with a B-, which will bring my GPA to a 3.7, but they have yet to ask me for a midyear (probab;y have yet to get to my application).
EC’s:
Writer for Odyssey
Active Mind’s
Academic Provost to the schools Provost
Honors College
President of service learning center
Community service 3 hours a week
Internship
I applied Feb 28, however, not all my materials were received in March 13 (I don’t know why, my transcript sent late and my admissions counselor e-mailed me she received it March 13)
Thanks!
Hey! I also applied for Psychology and haven’t heard back yet :-/
I applied on Feb.27.
How did you find admissions counselor?
@princesssoophie congratulations! A quick question… when you say it changed to 2p do you mean that it changed to the version I posted yesterday on this thread? (you can go back a page and see it) I just don’t know if I have the 2p or 3p
@fromma I found out online!!!
@colus19 hey maybe you should try appealing your financial aid offer! Boston Uni is rly expensive.
Oh my God I just got accepted to CAS!!! Here’s my stats for reference:
Major: Electrical Engineering
College GPA: 3.46 (4.0 midterm report)
HS GPA: 3.1, but I’m a junior next year & this was a while ago, so this was likely looked over.
EC/Hooks:
- Lots of Volunteer work, named the Buzzards Bay Coalition’s Volunteer of the year along with some other kids from my senior class in HS
- Electrical trade background
-Full time job all of college so far
-I’m a veteran / currently serving in the Marines (also used this to dismiss bad HS grades & show ive grown as a person)
Given that without my hooks / EC’s I’m just a regular college kid, I can attest to the fact that BU is definitely taking you into account as a person rather than just looking at GPA’s and moving on. So excited, good luck everyone!!!
Oh! for anyone wondering, my portal changed to 2p around noon today, & I did not receive any email or anything from the school (i checked my spam & everything). I just happened to log in and see my decision!
