I am losing my mind…did the Applicant Status page always have “Please verify your address by clicking Applicant Address” at the bottom? Am I really just noticing something that’s been there all along?
It’s been there @youngone4! lol. calm yourself! 
pm me if you need to talk at some point!
I applied pretty close to the deadline for RD and my portal still says “Our records indicate that you…” hoping that the whole “Thank you” thing is not accurate. I know for Tulane EA that when the ED II button wasn’t there anymore it meant that I had gotten in so sometimes the glitches are true
But, then again, my test scores a little below average: 4.1 GPA but 28 superscored ACT so I’m not likely to be admitted
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows how competitive the business school at BU is? I have a 1500 SAT, 3.95 UW GPA, 4.3 W. Ranked 5/247 in my HS. Lots of ECs with some leadership positions. 3 sport varsity athlete and captain of all 3 sports. Some volunteer work and decent essays. How do you think I would do applying to the business school?
I have an UW gpa of 3.5 and a SAT of 1400. I applied to the college of engineering as a biomed major. Any thoughts on my chances of getting in?
@Soccergirl2232 From what I’ve read it’s only applicable to ED. Last year people had both “Our records indicate” and “thank you…” I’ve also read that sometimes they update it later in February. I wouldn’t read too much into it though. Mine has “Our records indicate” and I’m not that worried about it
Hey everybody, I’m afraid to ask but given that the ApplicantLink was down for updating this morning/afternoon, ha a anyone’s “message” changed? Our message is still the same as it was: “Our records indicate that you have applied to the CAS for the September 2018 semester…” Hoping they were just updating for the EDII applicants and are still working on RD applicants…
@youngone4 , My D’s portal is back up and it still has the Thank you message. Nothing different in financial aid either. Good luck everyone - hang in there this last month or so!!
When do RD decisions come out?
Technically, April 1, but I think they usually come out the last week of March. Anyone?
It states on the portal they come out March 17 at 5pm.
No way! Thanks for the info. @anniehhh . Where do you see that info.?
Where is that info?
When I first activated my account last night it said decisions would be out then!
Article regarding this year’s admission stats:
http://www.bu.edu/today/2018/six-quick-stats-about-who-applied-to-the-class-of-2022/
It doesn’t say anything on my son’s portal about March 17th. And March 17th is a Saturday, so it is highly likely that decisions would come out that day.
I applied at the end of October for RD and my online portal still says “our records indicate…” which is making me nervous. Looking at the link posted above about the class of 2022 my gpa and SATs are higher than the average (3.76 and a 1360). I also have a lot of great extra curriculars. I took the ACT once and barely prepared and got a 26, I regret sending in those scores before I got them back and I’m hoping that doesn’t hurt my application. I’m trying to stay hopeful as BU has been my top school for a number of years. Wishing everyone the best of luck!!
@nicole61666 From my reading on previous years, the message is only a sure indicator for ED applicants. It gets sketchy for ED2 and means nothing for RD.
@nicole61666 When we visited BU (and frankly every university we visited) we were told that admissions would look at the score that makes you look best and throw out the other one. So if you have a really good SAT and a not so good ACT, they will only consider your SAT. As one admissions person told us, “We are looking for reasons to accept you, not for reasons to reject you.”
