Please chance me for ED Boston University and share your and your children's stats (deferred, accepted, waitlisted, or rejected, and include ED1, 2, EA, or RD)

At my children’s school the only students to get in to BU over the last 4 years were every student who applied ED (2 per year), and no one else. We typically have 10-12 applicants per year from our school. Those accepted had UW GPAs in the 3.7-3.8 range and test scores in the range of 1300-1430/29-32. Those who were rejected included students with similar stats AND everyone who applied with a 4.0. No one who applied RD over the last 4 years was admitted. So…from our school…your stats would have a good chance if you applied ED and little to no chance if you apply RD. But…that’s just our data. I will say my child applied RD and then thought she withdrew her app after getting in ED elsewhere. Apparently she did not withdraw it because she received a decision letter…even though she never sent in first semester grades (since she thought she had withdrawn). She did not get in but she was offered Guaranteed Transfer, which is a program I was not previously aware of. In the GT program you start somewhere else for a year and then have a guaranteed transfer spot available as a sophomore at BU. My D’s stats were approx 3.7UW and 32 ACT with high course rigor.

Having said that, I agree with everyone else who said just keep of the good work and come back in a year and ask again. Also look at the NPC, especially if you are thinking of applying ED (anywhere).
