<p>does anyone have stats on BU's waitlist (acceptance rate)</p>
<p>Everyone has been trying to figure that out. Look around the forum before laying waste to this thread. The debate rages on elsewhere. Some claim a 92% acceptance rate while others peg the number at 12. Everyone has their own trustworthy source. It's hard to determine what those numbers actually represent. Are they "percentage on waitlist offered acceptance" or "percentage on waitlist who are accepted and choose to enroll in BU"? Nobody knows.</p>

<p>I called the admissions office about the waitlist. Last year, they did no go to th waitlist. The 92% came from 2 years ago; however, for the 5 consecutive years before the 92% acceptance rate, they did not take any students. Chances are looking slim for the waitlist...</p>
<p>Serial dater what college are you accepted to?</p>
<p>elysse311, i got accpeted into the college of communications. quite frankly, im surprised i got accpeted at all.</p>
