BU Class of 2018 waitlist

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University

<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>Thought I’d create a discussion for the wait listed applicants (like myself ): ) since there isn’t one this year.
How many of you have decided to accept a spot on BU’s wait list?
The wait is killing me!!!</p>

<p>@tinyvesssels‌ I accepted my spot and literally checking my e-mail every second for an update. Hope we’ll get off the wait list soon </p>

<p>Hey guys. I’m just as nervous as you are… I know this year BU offered about 3,000-something applicants a spot on the waiting list… Do we have a good chance? Or…</p>

<p>@tinyvesssels‌ @thetourist1220‌ Nice to meet you guys by the way!</p>

5

<p>Hi! I also accepted my spot on the waitlist. Good luck to all of you!</p>

6

<p>Half of 3000 applicants will accept their spot on the waitlist but last year they accepted only 69 people off the waitlist and those students started hearing back on May 2nd </p>

7

<p>Not necessarily, @thetourist1220‌… They might select more applicants off the waitlist this year.</p>

8

<p>I hope so… @koreanboi6789 </p>

9

<p>oh, where did they release the figures for the number of waitlisted applicants on?</p>

<p>3,503 applicants were put on the waitlist. @thetourist @tinyvesssels‌. Here’s the links for the last two years of Boston University’s waiting list and number accepted off the waitlist</p>

<p>-2012: <a href=“http://www.bu.edu/oir/files/2012/05/cds-c.pdf”>http://www.bu.edu/oir/files/2012/05/cds-c.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
-2013: <a href=“http://www.bu.edu/oir/files/2013/05/cds-2013-c.pdf”>http://www.bu.edu/oir/files/2013/05/cds-2013-c.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I figured about 1,751 applicants accepted their spot on the waiting list, and more than a hundred of applicants will be accepted. What do you guys think?</p>

12

<p>thanks @koreanboi6789 & @thetourist1220‌
well it’d be <em>relatively</em> assuring if they decide to accept more than a hundred. lets just hope they won’t just accept only 8 like in 2011(?)</p>

<p>good luck to the rest of the applicants!</p>

13

<p>Btw which of the BU’s schools did you guys apply to? I’m waiting at SMG’s waitlist…</p>

14

<p>CAS for me!</p>

15

<p>CAS… I hope I get in! And I feel as if the number of acceptances off the waitlist varies… Since it was competitive this year, I would assume they would pick a somewhat big number of applicants from the waitlist…</p>

16

<p>Anyone hear back yet?</p>

17

<p>Nope @Koreanboi6789‌ I’m literally checking my e-mail for an update every second and nothing from BU. </p>

18

<p>not yet! meh. I’m hoping we’ll find out by latest next week</p>
