BU Class of 2021 RD Discussion Thread

Yeah my counselor said we should hear back on March 18th for regular decisions

I just checked my admissions portal, and it said that I could not access it because it is currently being updated. Does anyone else see this?

Yes, my daughter’s is being updated as well. It probably doesn’t mean anything.

A couple of kids on the ED2 thread had that happen mid-day as well. One of them said the same thing happened last year on the 8th, and ED2 decisions were released on the 13th/ 14th. They are anxiously waiting.

Can someone chance me please?

Nope @utOOSman201. I wish you the best but the only people that can chance you are the BU AOs. Good luck!

@utOOSman201 i think you have a good chance based on your scores, but it also depends on what major you applied for. i think you can at least get into cgs

Hi! I was wondering if there was anybody else applying to the early admissions programs for high school juniors?! I’m getting so antsy!!!

I was deferred from ED 1. Does anyone know how deferred applicatants do in regular decisions? I know a lot of schools accept most kids that were originally deferred but I haven’t heard anything about bu.

When I opened my portal like 5 minutes ago, I had an “invitation” link to the right. When I clicked it, it said something about “RSVP off campus reception” and then when I opened it it was something about off campus receptions for admitted students. Anyone else have this? Does this mean I was admitted?

@800math I don’t know. My D also has the “Invitations” link. Does anyone NOT have it? We live near BU so the Invitations thing wouldn’t apply to us, which makes me think everyone in their database got it and it doesn’t mean anything.

@redpoodles Ok. I was kind of excited but then what if everyone had it, so I just had to know. Thanks!

Does everyone have it though? We’re only 2.

@redpoodles I have a friend that has it but she has really good scores and grades. She also has a lot of extracurriculars, so I don’t know.

@800math @redpoodles I have the link as well

@bxlla123 Even though it means that it was an oops from the admissions office and it doesn’t necessarily mean we got accepted, I’m actually happy a lot of people have it (don’t know why)

My son has it as well. It is really interesting because it is for admitted students and their families. They can start to get people signing up for these receptions. :)) Apparently, they don’t intend to have one in our state.

My son has it too.

I have one as well, I don’t think it means anything

unfortunately :c
