Hey, congrats @marshmalloes! Is this the same prof who interviewed you?
@Succ55 Iām keeping my fingers crossed for you, it sounds very likely!
Nothing but crickets here. Time for C to get excited for plan B.

thanks sm @curiousme2!! yes, this is the same prof who interviewed me.
hopefully you hear back from them soon - i heard that the matching process can go until pretty late, so maybe theyāre still looking for a mentor that fits you. either way, i hope that things work out for you 
@chilidoggo okay sounds good! iāll make one and post the link once itās done
For those of you whoāve heard back matching results, did you follow up with Admission in any way shape or form after the āmove onto matching phaseā notification? Wondering if email/call them to show continued interest help speed up the matching processā¦
Getting kinda bored waiting around for them to tell me my statusā¦ 
@succ55 me too ā¦ hey, at least no rejection yet! weāre in this together! also i just realized that if we all get matched we could meet up in person, thatād be so fun haha
@Succ55 I got that email too! Hoping that itās a good signā¦
Honestly, Iām getting kind of impatient considering we were supposed to hear back in 6-8 weeks and this is week 10 but ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ thatās life. āNo news is good newsā ā¦ I guess?? lol
I MATCHED! Iām spending my summer in Boston!
has anyone made a facebook group yet?
Congrats @Succ55, which field?
@Succ55 Were you also matched for neurobiology? Maybe weāll be working in the same lab together!
@serahn123 Thereās a FB group! Itās called BU RISE '19. I believe @marshmalloes made and posted it, but the comment ended up getting flagged for containing a link (rip, unfortunate)
Wow, I am so grateful because I got matched for Anatomy and Neurobiology. Literally yesterday I received a rejection from another program I applied to. I was worried I would get rejected from all the programs I applied to/not get matched. My top choice outright rejected me (Expected). My 2nd Choice I havenāt heard back from yet. This is my 3rd choice, and I am super excited to get an offer of admission. My 4th choice rejected me. I wonāt commit until I hopefully get a response from my 2nd choice within the next week.
Also, here are my stats (which arenāt that extraordinary):
ACT:
The one I submitted was a 34 C 35 E 35 M 32 R 33 S 8 W
I now have a 35 C 36 E 36 M 34 R 34 S (Writing is not known yet)
GPA: 4.0 UW 4.49 W
In my essays, I wrote how my brother had autism and how that defined my research interests. I also wrote how I outreached to children in robotics STEM outreach events. I also talked about community service at my local hospital.
This is basically what the admissions committee saw (even though I have a ton of other ECs and Awards that I could have talked about, but didnāt).
@nymphalidae Yeah, I got matched in Anatomy and Neurobiology at the BU Medical Campus! Iām excited to see you all there!
Congrats @Mathematician123 did you get matched today?
@nymphalidae are you already matched?
anybody got matched for physics?
@arun07 Yes! I just got matched this morning, a couple of hours ago, and Iām very very excited about heading to Boston this summer! Also, from the forum about RISE 2018, it sounds like matching continued on through May. RISE seems to take its time, so Iām sure youāll be hearing back within the next week or so. Good luck!
@Mathematician123 Congrats! I hope you get into that 2nd choice program ā but if not, I hope Iāll be seeing you in Boston this summer! Your stats ARE extraordinary ā donāt be hard on yourself fam
@Succ55 Yay exciting! Looking forward to seeing all you guys at BU this summer!
Congrats to all the newly matched!
Iām curious to see if BU sends the unmatched students an update today. Nothing here yet but C has other great options, so not the end of the world.
