BU Class of 2021 RD Discussion Thread

I don’t want to stress anyone, but last year, before decisions were released, some people were able to log onto the housing website for BU and they could see that they were accepted.

@kwnstandina see the post above by @botcom. I guess it could mean good news, but nobody knows.

I don’t want to jinx anything, but I have a feeling son17 will get admitted, but at 100% full price. Then it’s going to be a tough decision. If he doesn’t get in, I’m fine with that too, because he has a few decent choices already. We’ll see.

We can talk next week whether these Thanks for applying notes mean anything or not. LOL.

Good luck!!

@lolog123 Housing probably does not work. This time on the UCSD thread, many people tried out the housing trick - it didn’t work. It probably is the same for BU too.

@InfiniteLibrary yeah they probably fixed it this year.

Is anybody trying the my housing portal? Can you get in? We could not.

when is the decision coming out

@redpoodles I just tried and it said “access denied”

Decisions come out this Saturday I think.

I never got the email with the 8 AM EST release time? can someone pls verify

Yup. Same for me. @normanf

I didn’t either

From the ED thread:

Those who got the “Thank you” either got rejected or accepted.
Those who got the “Our records indicate” got deferred.

Ah really? If thats true, I’m bloody waitlisted.

I don’t think the “Thank You…” means anything. I do think the item I addressed on the Financial Status page does mean something. Basically on the Financial Status page if they are asking for more documents and they already have the FAFSA and the CSS then I think that means something.

Does anyone know the exact time? When will we get noticed on Saturday March 18th?

Everyone is throwing around 8 am EST

I just went through the ED1 thread. The “Thank you” VS “Our records indicate” doesn’t mean anything. Some people got in with “thank you”, some people got deferred , and some got rejected. Same with “our records indicate”. For ed1 I remember the financial tap of the portal updated the night before for the people who got in. I’m not sure if that will be the same for rd tho.

Honestly guys don’t worry about it and wait until Saturday

As an international, my FA-tab is worth nothing. Ahwell, have to wait until saturday anyway.
