(Sorry @MrElonMusk )

@MrElonMusk sorry bruh. i was deferred ED and everyone with the message I had was deferred and everyone who had “thank you” was admitted. there is no clear evidence that it’s the same for RD but I have a reason to be thinking about messages as it was a clear indicator for my first admissions review

503

Kinda weird that “thank you” meant accepted and “our records” meant deferred/rejected for ED but doesn’t mean anything for RD

504

If you click on senior grades if you have that message it seems like…

505

@heyheyheyheyhey i think that for ED our records was deferred and thank you was accepted OR denied. at least i was deferred with our records and in the EDII thread many ppl out rejected with thank you

506

I was accepted EDI and yeah, the “thank you” and “our records” is true. Seems weird that you guys are going through what I went through way back in December… anyways good luck to all of you… and hopefully BU wont be filled with a thousand premeds lol

507

@greenfrogmemes so according to your theory you informed us of, you are on the waitlist as well, congrats! haha :))

508

I think it’d be really beneficial for future years if when we get our results, we post our result AND the admission status (Thank you vs our records indicate). That way, we can determine for certain if there is a correlation between the two

509

So does anyone know what it means if it says 2018/2019 academic year on top when you click on financial aid status?

510

@e60436 It means you applied for 2018/2019 academic year, starting Fall 2018. It is same for everyone.

511

I know that the message doesn’t matter, but isn’t it a little weird that my message would change to “Thank you…” today? Also request for senior year grades was added today for me too. sorry to annoy anyone

512

nevermind my last comment, I see this has happened to everyone’s portal. I also was rejected from NU today (my first rejection).

513

Since I got into NEU honors program (have known since February) do I have a chance at BU? I have good stats, 3.97 UW 4.24 W 35 ACT and strong ECs but I still feel like I have no chance at an acceptance from BU because the admission rate is going down so much :confused: also I am from California idk if that would change anything tho

514

@amigadelauni of course and you probably knew that already

515

@amigadelauni, your only worry is if BU is concerned about their yield. Admissions will wonder if admitted would you fly across the country to a school costing +70k with your great stats.

516

Hypothetically speaking (not me btw) what if u had slightly lower average stats and okay essays. What would BU consider if they accept you

517

what time do they come out Saturday?

518

I heard they come out at 8 am EST

519

Yeah @kidodie that’s what’s im worried about, that they will decrease the acceptance rate so much for oos kids to increase their yield that to get in you’d have to be an excellent applicant. And @greenfrogmemes I had no idea if I would have a chance being oos and with their decreasing rate, because I know that schools in the same vicinity don’t necessarily have a huge correlation on the types of applicants they will accept

@amigadelauni private schools do not consider state residency
