BU Class of 2021 RD Discussion Thread

do the people that had access to the housing portal still have access?

ugh i cant access :frowning: im near the end of the alphabet though hopefully it goes by that! really nervous now

@jjohnross i believe it doesnt mean anything? What did you get on your test scores? I got a 29 and got access denied. My brother who applied for the Trustee Scholarship still has access denied.

Im near the end of the alphabet too but had access

@yoga99 but do you still now have access to the housing portal?

@yoga99 Yes, still have access to housing portal. The applicant link has gone back to the “Thank you…” message.

Yes i still have access @acron611
and me too @myoldest

Checked my son’s portal and it’s back to the Thank You message again at 4:30 pm EST

Who knows what that means? Ha, so confusing, lol

I double checked from last years RD thread, there were students who had access denied from the housing link prior to decisions and were still accepted. So, I don’t believe there is much correlation to final decisions.

Nothing is final/guaranteed until they officially release decisions but logging into a system and seeing ‘New Student’ tells you a lot. Of course BU tech people with all their spare time could set up something fake just to mess with people but seriously people don’t have time for that. At this point Occam’s razor comes in play.

Not being able to log into the Housing system tells you less. It’s a separate application (StarRez) and gets it’s information form the main Student Information System(SIS). It may be updated in small batches to minimize load to the production SIS.

@RightCoaster lol. I dont know whats happening.

@lexijillian what a big relief!

@Dolemite you are very smart. Why would they want to minimize the load? Is it to prevent crashes?

@acron611 i got a 30. and i applied to the trustee scholarship to show more interest/just do it. hopefully it doesnt mean anything i thought my essay was good and i visited/expressed interest

@jjohnross I doubt it tbh. Why would a college let people see it if it actually meant something?

Can you guys chance me please??? I don’t have access to the housing portal so I’m getting nervous. I just got rejected from northeastern yesterday but I got into BC early action. 1370 sat, many ap classes, 4.53 weighted gpa, class rank approx. 4/240, many extracarriculars, lots of leadership, decent essay, good recommendations. Do I have a good chance?

@ktf1117 My guess would be that if you got into BC, chances are probably very good that you will get into BU

i need to stop reading this it’s stressing me out lol

Does anyone else have confetti on their applicant status page??

****** ha, just kidding.

@RightCoaster Hah Hah! one of the schools my D applied to did send a confetti email.
