So they did reject people in January right? How/when did those people find out? I have heard nothing and I'm freaking out!

Not everyone, I haven't gotten any news at all yet. Do you think all of the waitlisted statuses have been updated by now? I'm having a mini heart attack every time I check my e-mail!

Im not too sure if everyone got the updates by now.
but I received an email and I was asked to confirm whether i wanted to remain on the waiting list or not.

Is there anyone who got rejected in the status page?

so your status page changed?
 
Ouch. I was actually wait-listed. The e-mail just hadn't forwarded to my main account yet.

So wait-listed at my top two choices, accepted to my 3rd. I shouldn't really complain, but it still hurts a little bit. 🙁
 
hahaha either BU straight up decided to lie to everyone by saying a 'small' pool of students are waitlisted or they totally have a different meaning for the word 'small'.

I wish everyone here with whatever they decided the best of luck in their career, and life for that matter. It has been an honor being tortured and neurotic with you. 🙂

Yeah, they totally mislead you about the waitlist. They did this last year as well. I just don't get the point why the Dean makes a note to say this every year, when it's just blatantly not true. I'd rather they just not say anything about it, then making people believe the contrary.

Anyway, still nothing for me. So it's probably rejection or acceptance for me.
 
rejected 🙁 How sad huh? 🙁

I got one via email, so if you didn't get one you know its a good thing 🙂

Just want to let you all know so you can breathe a bit easier knowing that they do reject some people!! Good luck everyone with the rest of the process! 🙂 It was a nice journey with you all

I'm sorry...I feel your pain, was rejected here (via email) as well 🙁 I'm pretty upset, I felt like I'd fit in well in Boston, and this was also the last school I was waiting to hear from..waitlisted everywhere else.

Well good luck to everyone who is continuing to wait, it was actually a nice journey. The people on this BU thread are pretty awesome, I wish you all the best.

Sorry to hear that Silly Monkey and AutumnAmethyst. This whole process is a crapshoot, and I think we've all learned not to take it personally. I'm sure you'll end up someplace where you'll be happy. Good luck. I'm rooting for you!

Nothing for me either, but I'm still panicking every time I check my e-mail. I'll feel a lot better once 5pm passes, then hopefully we'll be safe for today. Why can't they just tell us!?

Dr. Phillips, and someone had said they got a congrats e-mail from her this morning...so I'm a little worried.

Since you didn't get a wait-list, or rejection status update, you are probably good to go. I remember in January, the accepted update status did not change till well after everyone else received their info. Your interviewer probably accidentally skipped your name, or hasn't gotten to you yet.

🙂



Anyone else feel like they were double wait-listed at BU? Deferred and then wait-listed? :laugh:

*Sigh*
 
Hey Guys,

I was accepted in January, but my better half got wait listed today so I will be withdrawing--hopefully my spot goes to one of you!

:luck:
 
Just got an e-mail that my status changed and I'm accepted!

I definitely had a minor panic attack when I saw that e-mail, all it says in the subject is: Status Update, they should put a congrats in there or something. 😀

I'm still probably going to Mount Sinai. But I'm thinking about checking out revisit weekend. Honored to have the option. I will withdraw once I'm sure, and I hope if I do end up doing that, that it goes to a SDNer.

Hi, my first post of the thread. I'm accepted!! 2nd time reapplicant too after being WL last year so this feels extra extra sweet. Any other GMS grads get accepted?
 
Rejected outright via email and status update, interviewed in November with Dr. Fujii. Good luck everyone!!!
 
So I don't really understand this but a friend of mine who was deferred in January who withdrew following the deferral also got the waitlist email today... Even though she withdrew in January..

What is BU doing??!
 
BU wasn't really a fit for me, so my waitlist today didn't really hurt me. I'm removing myself from further consideration. Good luck to the rest of you! :luck:
 
Hey guys (this includes EVERYONE, accepted, waitlisted, or rejected) don't forge to participate in the BU poll so that those that are waitlisted can have a better idea of our odds...

I only know camaras who posted earlier and a poster named redsquareblack or something like that has gotten accepted who were last year's GMS kids.

But they got accepted in the earlier group not this one. Don't know about othrs.
 
i want to make sure that i am understanding this correctly. for the financial aid stuff for BU, we have to fill out the fafsa, the busm application for financial assistance, AND the CSS/Financial Aid Profile........which isn't free.....correct? that last one costs more money.....? 🙁

Yea, that's correct. You also need to include your parents' information even if you are considered "independent." And mail/upload copies of all tax returns. And yes, the CSS profile requires payment, I don't remember exactly how much.
