Boston University ED Class of 2023

can yall post your stats?? To somehow assume if this “trend” is still true…

1231dasdsad, you are the only person i have seen who has posted that you had our records indicate w/o ED. Does it still say that? Do you mind posting your stats? Either way, I wish you the best of luck!!!

Who’s still hasent changed yet

Lots apparently, looking at above posts. Ours hasn’t changed. I believe one person said on last page that to her knowledge, everyone from her school that applied ED still don’t have a status change. Our records indicate WITH early decision.

I would like to hear from the one person that does not see ED after their our records indicate… Not sure if they are still on this thread, but would like to hear stats as well if they would be so kind.

idjeidjeidjw090d, yeh I can post my stats, and it still says that… :frowning:

I am not the best qualified… but I thought I had ok chance lol

You sound very qualified and very accomplished! I would not get discouraged yet. Good luck

Thank you! It would be great if we all get in haha

@1231dasdsad Could you copy and paste your message? If you don’t mind of course

Sure.

when do u guys think decisions will be out?? i saw people think that they could be out tomorrow, but after looking at the thread i dont think they’re done making decisions. so are we thinking monday the 10th or friday the 15th?? so nervous lmao!!!

I feel like they won’t be out tomorrow

I would like to think that they will be out tomorrow, but idk if it is gonna happen

FWIW, your qualifications seem great. I’m sure that everything is stressful, but you really do look like a great candidate. I would guess it has something to do with this part: " Upon further evaluation, the Board of Admissions may determine that we need further information to complete your application file."

They want something more information wise, IMO. I’m sure you they will be in touch about it, but your qualifications look very good. I wouldn’t stress too much. Easier said than done, but you obviously put in your work.

This is for everyone it says that

Do people think it’s more likely for it to come out on Monday or Tuesday?

Ngl, at this point I’m more focused on when decisions will be out rather than the language of the app portal lol
Considering many people haven’t had /any/ change yet on their portal (assuming theories are true), then I would assume they will be cutting closer to the 15th deadline compared to years prior.
I’m guessing after finalizing ED decisions they have a day or two of processing. Prepping mail to be sent out, etc.
Ofc, still hoping for Monday. But who knows

Also, since I realized I haven’t posted my stats yet and I have the “Thank you…” message as well…

  • 1470 SAT (730R/740M), 7/6/7 Essay.
  • Advanced math all 4 years (AP AB Calc [4], AP Stats this year), advanced French 3 years (dual adv. Latin and French freshman yr), adv. topics in physics this year
  • School doesn't calculate GPA. I go to a competitive prep/private school. General progression of grades from a B- avg to A- avg this year. Arguably the weakest point of my application. Primarily influenced by mental health issues.
  • Recs are most likely strong, from two teachers I've had great connections with.
  • Loooots of ECs. The ones I put on my app: Editor-in-Chief of my school's Arts journal, co-founder of school's 'mural club', senior leader (aka mentor, interviewed for the position), school tour guide, 10-ish hours a week babysitting, and I'm a member of my school's Umoja, model un, GSA, and sustainability clubs. I also included that I took part in NYU's summer art intensive program: submitted a portfolio, got in, dormed for 4 weeks, had a final gallery exhibit.
  • Essay is a lot to explain. TLDR: I have used art as a form of personal therapy, so to speak, for years. I explained water damaged paintings [that almost got destroyed when I lost my home to a hurricane in 2012] as metaphors for me + art in my life; I'm kinda damaged [lol] but I'm still here, and creativity/art is an integral part of my identity.

BU just sent me last night information about how they need additional forms for my financial aid so I don’t think there’s a chance of deiscions being released tomorrow (since financial aid packages come with ED decisions on the same day). I feel like the decisions are definitely being released closer to the 15th because they’re still reviewing (and still have to process and get new information lol) financial aid which probably takes a while.

Mine still has “our records indicate w/ early decision
