BU RISE Program 2020

hopefully next wave :slight_smile:

My son is also waiting to hear — psychological and brain sciences. Were the acceptances sent out in waves last year?

Yes

The waves seem to have to do with when the application was submitted according to last year’s thread. I’ve submitted mine on the deadline day and have no received an email. Can someone who got an email today confirm this?

same from my side

@seethevision I received an email confirming I moved on to the matching phase today and I submitted my app on the 18th, so it might not be based on submission time.

@seethevision I also got an email confirming the matching phase today and also submitted my application on the 18th.

yeah and i submitted mine super early (3 weeks in advance for teacher recs) and i haven’t gotten an email. but doesn’t matter how they’re releasing - it’ll prob be by tmrw since they said by the end of the week

oh okay thanks for the replies guys. good luck to everyone that didn’t get an email today!

:(((( i got a completed app email on the 25th and i bet the ppl who didnt get the email today didnt get in. rip us…

idk what u guys saying, but based on last years thread, ppl who got accepted for matching phase was accepted all on the same day/same time. we didn’t get in… rip… f

My sons stats I would think are competitive — 1550 SAT (770 R, 780 M), 780 SAT ii math, GPA 4.2, Many APs, multiple science fair awards, ISEF and JSHS finalist, ISEF special award, a solo author journal paper in a journal with impact factor 3.4… wonder what they’re looking for…

rejected…but got into simons. kinda surprised as I thought I was qualified. 1580 sat, perfect subject test scores, APs, etc. and my research aligned directly with some of the mentors’ projects but oh well

rejections are out my dudes…

@nanomnanom congrats! simons seems way better than this imo

thanks :slight_smile: i agree, it’s also cheaper/more prestigious but i’m kinda troubled by this rejection lol

same - since this is my first decision, it really doesn’t bode well for the more prestigious camps. oh well :frowning:

i’m sure ull get into at least one! also at this rate idk if they’ll even be running but best of luck!

rejected… :frowning:

Rejected too with the scores and the recommendation was to look for honors class, not sure if thats good to pursue but will look for other opportunities. Last year we saw people of waitlist in that group. Not sure this year they did that
