BU Early Decision CGS Chances

I totally disagree with Moxess…and this is from the “business model” perspective of admissions:

if you apply ED to CGS and are accepted BU knows you are coming and that protects yield ( and they know they have you paying)

If you apply ED to CAS there is no yield protection for BU if they admit you to CGS instead; your decision is no longer binding and, therefore, there is no incentive for them to accept you at all…

If BU is your #1 and you REALLY want to be there, I agree with your idea to apply CGS ED…worse come to worse, they will defer you to RD to see who else applies directly to CGS…but highly unlikely, especially if you are a full pay student.

and make a very strong case as to why you want to start in CGS; small class size, personal attention etc…
