Anyone know how much dedicated board studying time OMS II's get?

Members don't see this ad.
 
When does orientation start for the incoming class? I didn't see any up to date info on the BCOM website.

Giving up my seat, hope one of you gets an offer today. Good luck!

Does anyone know how BCOMs waitlist works? Is it ranked? Has anyone who has gotten in off the waitlist done anything in particular?

I was told “Your position on the wait list is based on your original application and your interview. We are unable to disclose your position as this list is updated almost daily.”

Anyone know what the deal is with withdrawing and salvaging some of that $2000 back? I got accepted into a different school I'm now committed to and would like to give up my seat.

Unfortunately, no shot, it’s non-refundable. You have to take the L =( but congratulations!!!!
 
Still nothing and I had mine week of April 4th

Same and the 5-wk mark is today. Looks like it’s going to also be a 5-6 week wait for 4/8 and 4/12 post-II decisions, even though they started pulling off the WL already.

I was excited that they might be speeding things up now when 3/31 interviewees got their decisions back on 4/29. Very frustrating to say the least. Who knows why they kept telling interview groups that it’d be a 2-3 week decision timeline when they knew good and well lol.

Was just accepted! I thought my interview was horrible...it was so bad I laughed when I was done because I couldn't cry. I will not be accepting admissions due to being accepted to another program. Hopefully my A goes to one of y'all!!

Are you referring to the accepted students fb group? The class size for this cycle is 200.

Anytime until orientation unfortunately:/

I had a friend get in a few days before orientation at BCOM. He had to stay at a hotel for a month before he found a place to stay.
Do you know when they were placed on the waitlist?
 
Are there any current or former BCOM students here that could answer some questions for me?
 
Do y’all think we can expect waitlist movement soon? I’m getting so anxious with June coming up, I can’t sleep anymore

I think there will be a lot of movement happening soon. And based off the Facebook group of class of 2026, they still haven’t filled up the class. Maybe next week, after the deposit deadline has passed we will start to see more movement. But I feel you, I’ve been so anxious too. Hopefully we get in :(

is there still a batch of interview decisions to come ?

I’m pretty sure no. I believe all of April interviews acceptances/ waitlists / rejections were sent out last Wednesday.

When did you interview & when were you accepted? Were you directly accepted or waitlisted first?

About deposits, if you get newly accepted off the waitlist this late in the game, they tend to ask for the deposit with a week or 2 since it is cutting it close. That was my experience when I got in a while back.
