<p>I’m not sure what to do. The admissions office says they need my SAT scores. I have had them sent twice. I called to confirm they had arrived. BU told me they had a copy, both on the phone and in an e-mail. I called today to check the status of my application and they asked if I sent my SAT scores… I’m going to scream.</p>
<p>Other schools I have applied to have already made decisions. BU seems about a month behind…</p>
<p>Still waiting here too… I had a similar issue with my SAT scores, I called right before the deadline and the admissions office confirmed they had the scores. I then checked two weeks ago to see the progress on the application and the link said I still needed my scores sent. Called again, and was told my scores had been received just not updated, so it wasn’t reflected on the applicant link. </p>
<p>I’d contact collegeboard and see if they can give you verification that the scores were sent, and then contact the admissions office… Hopefully you can get it all straighten out…</p>
<p>For those of you who were denied admission, what did the applicant link say? I still have the same options as I did when checking my application status, and I was wondering if anything changes on the screen when you’re denied admission, or if the link stays the same and has no changes.</p>
<p>As you can probably tell, I’m a little anxious about the decision, and just like most of you, am waiting on BU as my last notification…</p>
<p>I’m with you megzies, I see no changes on the web portal and I can’t wait to hear!</p>
<p>The admissions decison box is shown over the admissions status box when the decision is up. If you are not admitted, that is the only change to the page. I don’t know what the pages of those who get admitted look like. The letter said something to the effect that 2000 had applied for 200 spaces…I think that works out to 10%? Who knows. Anyway, trying to be of some help from a very disappointed applicant.</p>
<p>FYI – My daughter did not hear from BU, but called them when she heard from all of the other schools she applied to, and needed to get back to them. They reviewed her application and sent her acceptance in the next few days. I don’t think it reflects well on BU to leave applicants hanging. Anyway, good luck to everyone. The waiting is so hard.</p>
<p>Dontworrybehappy, do you mind posting your daughter’s stats? It would feel better to know whether I was in the ballpark or not. Thanks.</p>
<p>This is pretty late on, but I hope this still helps some of you. I never went on here because I actually got accepted back in mid-April and sent financial aid information in early-May. I’m a first-time applicant for my sophomore year.</p>
<p>HS stats:
GPA: Weighted it stands at about a 4.3, unweighted I’m guessing it’s at about 3.6-3.8
EC: Captain of varsity cheerleading squad (-_-’ yeah, I know), dance captain of dance ensemble (both VERY time-consuming), chief production editor of literary magazine, member of student gov’t executive board.
ACT: 31 (got 1940 on the SATs, but only submitted ACT score because it’s better)
Honors/Awards: NHS, CSF
Top 5% of class</p>
<p>College stats:
GPA: 3.6
EC: incredibly unimpressive. Coxswain for varsity crew, member of Asian Student Association, member of Gay-Straight Alliance, general committee member of FU Student Association.
Honors/Awards: Dean’s Scholar (GPA 3.5+)
I was also a University Scholar (4-year scholarship) and a member of the Honors Program, but I don’t think I ever mentioned that on my applications. Huh. I probably should’ve.</p>
<p>Financial Aid:
I come from a single parent earning ~$70,000 with an older sibling in a 4-year college (BU, actually. This may or may not have affected my financial aid)
The university grant alone was $37,900. With federal loans/work study, it totaled to just under $40,000. According to my older sister, who is a rising junior in BU, the total tuition for 09-10 is about $56,000. That said, I’m very happy with the finaid I received, since at my old school I was only getting about $27,000 (including a university scholarship. Tiny schools can really not afford much, I guess) for a school whose tuition is now going to exceed Yale’s.</p>
<p>BU will send you an email telling you that your applicant decision is available. The same for financial aid. I don’t remember what the old applicant link looks like, but eventually you will have links to your admission decision, financial aid decision, enrollment deposit, housing info, university orientation, info for new students, and decline enrollment.</p>
<p>Hope this helps. Sorry I didn’t look here sooner!</p>
<p>I did not get an email from BU before I got my decision. I just checked my Applicant Link, and there were 6-8 new links.</p>
<p>no body has hear back from BU?
I’ve been waiting for it more than months…</p>
<p>I heard back this morning via email and got Accepted. I called a week ago Friday saying that I needed to know and they put me on a list that would get their results faster. I had fortunately already made up my mind to attend BC so it wasn’t a big deal, but I think they are losing a ton of talented students to other schools by waiting. Maybe they don’t care about transfers, but they don’t know what they’re missing!</p>
<p>i am so jealous that you got accepted…
i got offers from UIUC and USC and i have already accepted UIUC, and my semester will start on june15
However, if BU takes me, I will do whatever it takes to attend BU.</p>
<p>Hey guys. I just got asked today to send my spring grades in. Is this a good sign?</p>
<p>when did you receive your offer of admission?</p>
<p>I haven’t yet. I’m still waiting.</p>
<p>If you haven’t heard, call them and stay on them like white on rice…its unfair they do this to you guys.</p>
<p>i called last week and they told me i would be told within a week, she gave me a promise
and i called today, another person told me to wait for several more weeks
this is really unacceptable.Even so, i cannot do anything</p>
<p>I still have not gotten any word. I called on Monday and they said I would have to wait untill mid-June… This is aggrivating!!!</p>
<p>So… now the applicant link is saying the review of my application is complete; however, there is still no decision. I bet they’re going to wait right up 'till the 15th.</p>
<p>So today is officially “Mid-June”, and still no word… This really is getting kind of ridiculous, I’ve heard from every other school I applied to except BU… Maybe I’ll hear back by Mid-August… Did anyone hear from them today or over the course of the weekend? Ugh, I’m getting tired of checking that applicant link…</p>
