Boston University ED Class of 2023

So guys I just asked them if the “thank you” and “our record” notifies anything on live and they responded like this, not sure if they actually mean it though…

Hello! Thank you for your question. The language that serves as a response to submitting an application does not indicate any decision by the Office of Admissions.

Lol they probably can’t say that even if it’s true tho

@1231dasdsad oh well that reassures me a lil. But I’m still scared

That is true haha. They really can’t say it either way.

I just have no idea what it means to have our records indicate with early decision last years thread almost no one had this on dec 5th

Last year someone emailed the reps and stuff and they told him/her that the message doesn’t mean anything. But little do they know that it actually did mean something. Also i really thought they would be finished w decisions by today… guess not lol I think tmw May be the last day

Does anyone’s portals still say our records indicate?

@eyetwitch2023 - yes, mine does w/ early decision

The thing is, why would there be different messages if they didn’t mean something? Why wouldn’t everyone have the same thing?

True, there wouldn’t be three different messages if it didnt mean anything

if you think about it, the people in the regular pool had different messages, not notifying anything… I don’t know if the system would be different this here but…

do you guys think too many people have “thank you” messages for the trend to actually hold true this year?

(speculation) some people are maybe embarrassed and don’t want to say if they have Our Record w/o ED in it

I think so… literally everyone has thank you. However, I have our records indicate w/o early decision and I am pretty qualified, but at the same time, I am an international applicant.

the people here are only a small portion of the total amount of ed applicants though, and I feel like the people here tend to be more qualified which could be why so many on here have “thank you”

I woke up this morning and checked to see that my message had changed to thank you!!! AHhh. It took me longer than others to change, even tho I submitted my application in mid October. I really hope everything works out!

i feel like it has to be the same pattern as other years because although it’s only one person with our records indicate without early decision (that we know of) i feel like that’s enough. like why would that one person have a different message than everyone else if the pattern wasn’t holding. it would be every single person has the exact same thing if they changed it this year

Northeastern ED got their decisions today and I was told that for the past few years, decisions have came out on a Thursday (so everyone was expecting them to come out tomorrow) so I’m not really sure if we should expect BU to release decisions on Monday since this shows colleges don’t always stick to their patterns. Same with the message controversy, may not be the same pattern but who knows ?

I mean it would be awesome if decisions came out earlier than expected like with Northeastern though!! Even though I have the thank you message, I’m still nervous lol

The wait is really gonna kill me lol. Friends of mine are starting to get decisions too, it’s all so crazy. Every day feels like foreverrrr lol
