BU RISE Program 2020

I have absolutely no idea. Just crossing my fingers and waiting. Also do y’all think coronavirus might eventually affect the admissions timeline?

@aspiringtoart honestly, i don’t think so. i dont rlly see how it would

I emailed and asked if there is a set date.

@lec717 can u lmk what they say? they usually respond rlly fast

@myredditbruh ok I will let you know. Hopefully will get a response tomorrow

I really hope summer programs won’t be canceled this year because of the coronavirus. Do you guys think there’s a chance that could happen?

@AcePossum Yes. There is definitely a chance that could happen

@myredditbruh I got a response saying that there is no set date but they are still working on it right now. They said they hope to finish by the end of next week.

@lec717 shiiiiiii okay. thanks

@lec717 thanks for letting us know

Hi everyone! I was accepted into the 2019 RISE program and thought it might be helpful for you all if I posted my stats. At the time I applied, my stats were incredibly low, so the essays were a crucial aspect of my application! I was in the Neuroscience program.

SAT: 1310 (eventually got a 1520, but when I applied, I only had a 1310)
GPA: 3.9
No AP courses (school does not offer them) . No SAT subject tests
Bay Area Applicant
Female
Decent Extracurriculars
*probably also good to note that I am homeschooled, so my high school experience was probably quite different from most other applicants.

If anyone has any questions about my experience in the RISE program, feel free to reach out! I wish the best of luck to you all!
