Can anyone access this website?
@GMKoon Mine says “Your account lacks the appropriate level of authorization required for access to this application.” when I try to log into the personal info section
ugghhhh this is killing me i have the same thing
@GMKoon me too.
It originally logged me in, and I saw a bunch of tabs & such, but it is now not allowing me and giving me the “Your account lacks the appropriate level of authorization required for access to this application.” message…
I’m able to log in. Looks like this, although the format is messed up in the copy/paste. Most of these are tabs with different colors on the website:

So did mine @myoldest
My applicant status changed today to “Thank you for your application…”. This morning it was “Our records indicate…”. And I can see the page with the color tabs…
That’s BU’s student link
@GMKoon I can access it. Fancy colors.
I don’t think being able to see the pages with the colorful tabs is being logged in even though it says “logged in” in the corner. Some of them open and some of them go to the “lack of authorization” message.
@redpoodles Yep, same here. I think the only way we all can find out whether we get in or not is to just wait until March 18th.
I think everyone has access to the student link, I got denied access when I tried to click on my personal profile on that page.
no change in ny
@GMKoon I hope thats not true… I got waitlisted…
@dolemite what do you mean?
I applied ED1 and got deferred. BTW for those who applied ED1 and ED2 and got deferred, their status changed a couple of days prior, they removed the “as an early decision candidate” part from the message. This happened to me. Now, my status changed 3 days ago to “Thank you for applying… as an early decision candidate”. Also, my Financial Aid Status changed. Now it says they received my “CSS Noncustodial Parent PROFILE” on March 10. Keep in mind I sent this back in October of last year along with the other documents that had been received last year. Does this mean anything? I’m just curious. Like maybe they were reviewing my financial aid documents or something? idk.
I got a Thank you!!!
