same omg so nervous
ditto. Worried, but hoping for the best.
Had a bad feeling once I saw all the earlier rejections... I've come to a similar fate! Too bad, I would've loved Boston. Guess there's still some hope with Tufts! Good luck everyone else still in the running!
would you mind sharing when you were complete?
all the best!
I think I was complete the second week of July. LizzyM > 68, long shot for sure! Thanks you too!
would you all mind sharing when you were complete?

Just got the axe as well, although I will admit this is one of the nicest rejection emails I've seen. Definitely one of my reach schools, so I'm not suprised
Good luck to everyone else!
Good luck to everyone else!
Yes, they do send very nice rejection emails. I was wait-listed last cycle and when they finally sent me a message in August to let me know that I wouldn't be coming off the list, they expressed so much regret I thought I should perhaps send them a sympathy card.
I obviously know nothing about the rest of your application, but with those stats, BU may be thinking that you are likely to ultimately matriculate at a highly elite institution. If so, it's really unfortunate (for both you and BU) if you have genuine interest in attending BU.
You're absolutely right, but this early in the game where we all hold 0 acceptances, rejections still hurt. I wonder how many high-stats applicants schools like BU "lose" because they think they're "not good enough" even though BU is a great and desirable institution.
As a reapplicant, I completely understand the sting of rejections. I wonder though, if at the end of the day you are sitting on a Stanford or Yale acceptance, would you really pick BU?
Well, neither Stanford nor Yale have decided to interview me. But since you can see my MDApps, yes I'm fortunate to have interviews at schools that i may choose over BU. But I know of people who have had miserable post interview luck and I am not convinced I'm an above average interviewer.
I'm not bitter or even that upset. I've just had too much time to sit and think about this process and many facets still perplex me.
Just got that email from Boston apologizing for the delay in reviewing my secondary. The title of the email actually made it really clear that it wasn't an II or a rejection yet, but I still had a heart attack lol

The Committee on Admissions of Boston University School of Medicine has completed its review of your application. It is with great regret that I inform you that we will be unable to offer an interview this year. This is a disappointment, as much for those who are responsible for the decision as it may be for you, the candidate who is turned away.
Most of the candidates we are considering this year are qualified to attend medical school and are likely to make important contributions to our profession and to society. Sadly, with more than 100 applicants for every seat in the class, we are forced to deny many exceptional people.
We acknowledge and respect your accomplishments and recognize that our inability to offer you an opportunity to complete the admissions process is a loss for Boston University. Please accept our best wishes for all your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Witzburg, M.D.
Associate Dean and Director of Admissions
Boston University School of Medicine
Holy mackerel...now that's a mighty fine rejection letter. None of that scratch to see if you're a winner that's going on over on the Georgetown thread.
Damn, that's way nicer than the rejection letters I've gotten so far lol

did other interviewees get the e-mail about diversity? Curious if they sent it out to everyone.
I got it today. Are you "diverse"? haha
I did but I'm Mexican so I expected it lol
Same. Not Mexican but Hispanic.
