If you RSVP to any of the second day look dates they say it goes from 10am-3:30pm
 
Does anybody know how it works with applications to the MSR? Is there a chance that spots would fill up if we wait too long to submit the housing guarantee payment and we can't live in the MSR?
 
Anybody received or know when financial aid packages will be sent out? (Last year it seemed like first week of March.)

Receive financial aid package last month, but submitted my forms/documents in December. Not sure what the timeline looks like for recently accepted students!

I submitted my docs in early January and haven't gotten anything yet. They say applications are processed on a first come, first served basis so they trickle out.

Same here. Thanks for the info!
 
Expect to be completely disappointed with your financial aid package 🙃.
I have immense financial need and was still given no need based loans. When I appealed and tried to explain my situation I was told that they understand, however they have limited funds to distribute.

I’m sorry to hear that y’all. I wonder if BU ran out of funds early this year because I thought they were relatively generous with need-based aid considering what I’ve heard before.

Not sure if y’all can appeal, but I received $20k need-based scholarship and $10k need-based loan w/ EFC $0.

Does anyone know how willing BU is to negotiate aid? I just got a way better package from another school but BU is my #1 and I want to see if they will improve my aid (I don’t need a match, just at least the $10k need based loan).
 
Anyone know the protocol re. guests for second look?

What about the dress code for second look?
Click to expand...
I went to the second look in March. Before the event, an M1 in the GroupMe said that we should wear jeans and a sweater, so I wore nice jeans and a nice sweater. I would say roughly half or so wore that, and the other half wore dress pants/shoes/blouse

The current M1's and the administration have said that you don't need to impress them, it's their turn to impress you. Wear comfortable clothing! You don't need to wear business casual.

Does anyone have an idea of movement / timing for waitlisted people?

Is the new curriculum P/F and is the class ranked?
Click to expand...
Pre-clinical is supposedly true P/F with no internal ranking. Only 3rd and 4th year clinicals are graded.
