ED BU Applicants for 2022

@BUhopefully shoot. Mine says: Our records indicate that you have applied to the College of Arts & Sciences for the September 2018 semester. If this information is not correct, or if you would like to change the college or school of application, please call BU Admissions during regular business hours. IS THAT MEAN I GOT DEFERRED?

@Joezzzzz You mean it doesn’t say Thank you or even mention Early Decision anywhere on the page?

From reading last years thread on BU ED 1 admissions, it does seem that it means deferral… @Joezzzzz . Did it change from mentioning ED to not mentioning ED?

@Swimming123 nope, no more early decision, no more thank you.

I’ve got the Thank You message including Early Decision candidate… so scary!!!

I do remember mine changed at one point… I can’t remember what it used to be or when it changed but it didn’t always have that message.

@sunflowerlover Did you send your first term grade? And did they say your application is completed?

Yes, I sent my first quarter grades and it says my financial aid app is complete but nothing about my actual one being completed. There is a reminder to send in first quarter grades if you haven’t yet but it doesn’t say specifically that I haven’t. Have some people gotten messages saying their application is completed?

This is what I have word for word rn: Thank you for your application to the College of Arts & Sciences as an Early Decision candidate for the September 2018 semester. We will email you during the application review process if we are missing any required credentials for your application. You will be directed to check this page to see which credentials are not yet received.

Please note that all students are expected to submit senior year grades. If you have not already done so, please arrange for your counselor to send them as soon as they are available.

Dat’s the point, I think my message changed to “Our records bababababa” after I sent out my senior grade.

@sunflowerlover they will confirm with your school when the grades are processed but will not communicate directly with the applicant

Do you guys think the decisions could be out on friday? in previous years it has been the friday before the 15th, but this year the 15th is a friday and last year they said friday the 9th was too early and this year the friday before is the 8th. I just don’t want to wait til next friday… the anticipation is killing me!!

BTW i applied ED to COM and Kilachand!

I want to ask anyone if they know that if they deferred you, can you request them to cancel your application? I am not going to a college who defers even then they accept me. I live with balls.

@sunflowerlover My Applicant Link says the same thing

Yeah mine says the same thing! @sunflowerlover @Apes2468

Apparently last year if it doesn’t say “early decision” anymore it means you got deferred

@budehfh SAME!! I’m freaking out. I read a few threads and it says they almost certainly have decisions out by the 11th and 12th. I really hope they come out Friday tho, the whole changing of the “early decision” to “our records indicate” message for some seemed to happen last year a few days right before decisions came out too so maybe they are coming out Friday!! If you’re confused read last years thread when everyone freaked out lol

@terrier333 Do you know if admissions changes the “Early Decision” phrase for some people this close to the deadline or is it basically locked in

@apes2468 based on last years thread, the people who’s message changed, ended up being deferred. Also, their messages changed like 2 days before their decisions came out so that’s why I think we may possibly get the decisions Friday like previous years. If you want go to the 2021 early decision chat and I think it’s on like pg 17 where they start talking about the message changing
