2014-2015 Boston University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Waitlist as well! Slightly disappointed, but it is what it is! Congrats to everyone who got in, and also waitlisted!
 
Just received an email that I'm on their waiting list. I was expecting a rejection so I'm quite happy =D
 
Does anyone know the number of students put on the waiting list?
 
Got the email, Wait list! I too was expecting the ax so its a little bit of relief!
 
How many people are on the waitlist? How many people get accepted off of it? Does anyone have any numbers?
 

It could be that the people rejected haven't posted?[/QUOTE]

thats possible...
but it looks like a lot of us are WL. Didn't the dean say that they only waitlist a few and that he keeps this stack on his desk?
 
I suppose a few could be like 50? Haha

And the waiting continues. Out of 11,000 applicants, I feel like the waitlist is a pretty good outcome
 
It's possible they are just waitlisting everyone due to the accelerated timeline this year, and will do rejections next month as they have done in previous years.

What?! Are you sure they would just waitlist everyone?!

so they will reject some people that are on the waitlist in April?
 
While cookiemonsters' theory is somewhat plausible, it is directly against what the waitlist email says. They explicitly claim that most wait list decisions will happen between June 1st and July 31st, so I don't think that everybody got waitlisted. Maybe they just have not sent out the rejections yet?

ACCEPTED! I'll be giving up my spot for another school and city that has my heart though. Hope it goes to someone who has their heart at BU!

Why do people do this? Serious question. Sucks for the person on the WL now that should have gotten in and actually had intentions of at least considering BU as a real option. Congrats to all the ppl that got in otherwise, great school IMO.

Oh my god please chill out. It will be Friday. There is nothing you can do to change their timeline so you need to accept that whatever happens, will happen.

Told ya so! Now, who wagered their first-born child to me? I was wait-listed today and I'll be withdrawing. Due to the emotional trauma I sustained this winter in Boston, there is no way I can deal with a WL. Good luck to you all!

Absolutely. That is a total d move. If you are legit 100% not interested in attending then withdraw immediately.

At my interview day, they said the wait list has basically not moved the last few years because the matriculation rate was higher than anticipated. As a result, this year they were planning on giving fewer initial acceptances so that they class does not over enroll and so they may be able to draw off the wait list this year. Good luck to all waitlisted.

If you would actually come to BU, then it’s time to submit a sincere letter of interest.
 
Waitlisted as well! Hoping for movement. Let's keep our hopes up everyone 🙂
 
WL as well. Looks like its a fairly lengthy waitlist!

Congrats to all those who got accepted today! 🙂
 
WL as well. How are there so many on the waitlist...

Congratulations to those accepted! I hope to join you guys and girls in June, but we will see. Good Luck to everyone else!! I think I am going to give up SDN and commit to not checking back at least until this final semester is over ... (Unwatch thread)
