Complete 8/30 and rejected. But, my god, the letter was fantastic. I almost feel good about myself after reading it haha. Best of luck everyone!

 

[Xenith]

It's bittersweet to have not heard anything from here for a while. Complete 8/3

 

[sharpstix]

Everyone is pretending like the copy-paste rejection letter actually made them feel better

 

[CT9542014]

Did anyone submit an update letter before getting an II or rejection? I was complete on 8/12, and uploaded an update letter about my new job on 9/22. Hoping the letter isn't just delaying a rejection.

 

[Member1115]

Rejected 10 minutes ago. Complete 9/2

[frchuatritons]

my favorite school thus far! don't want to attend other interviews anymore; why do we have to wait till January to hear back?

 

[bearintraining]

Anyone complete 9/3 or later and receive an II or rejection?

Anyone complete 9/3 or later and receive an II or rejection?

Complete on 9/10 and no news.. though it still seems a bit early to hear news.

 

[neoneurohocuspocus]

Rejected as well.

 

[longshot1821]

Can anyone who interviewed here talk a little bit about their experience? I'm just curious what your impression was. Anything in particular stand out? Specific things to look for? Was there a pretty good vibe among students/admin? General/overall thoughts on the school?

 

[swimmingxxx657]

Rejected too, complete early August.

[ssggs]

II today, and interviewing later this week haha -- that was a fast turnaround.

Congrats 🙂 When did you complete?

You are in good company. Hope better for you during the rest of the cycle.

 

[Lost in Translation]

How do I write this without coming off as arrogant...

To the people with such great stats getting the axe, don't be discouraged. BU's adcom seems to like a particular kind of applicant. During my interview day I was told that BU really looks for applicants that fit the mission of the school. Specifically, they show more affinity towards those who demonstrate a desire to serve underserved populations. I took this to mean that your ECs should reflect this (i.e. volunteering in public healthcare settings rather than private.) I'm guessing if BU rejected you, they felt you and the school just weren't the right fit for each other, and not that you weren't good enough for them.

 

[Sotano]

Rejected yesterday as well, complete 8/4, LizzyM 74

 

[premedplayer517]

Waiting patiently for my rejection

Damn. I was hoping this would not happen to you too.

 

[catie_jane]

Complete 9/15 and no news

 

[bearintraining]

Damn. I was hoping this would not happen to you too.

Thank you @trini818 ... It is what it is. Not super surprised as it seems they generally aren't very international-friendly. Pritzker said no today also (of course super competitive school).. but I did just finish my SUNY Upstate interview.. so overall a bitter-sweet day.

 

[whatsupdr]

@bearintraining how was the interview!!! I am still heading up in Feb unless I can get an earlier date..Im a boston reject too 🙁

I should have applied to Upstate. Maybe would have had a chance.

Very laid back. I'm used to the Canadian MMI which is insanely intense. This was nothing like that.

 

[Smoove]

II! Complete mid july

 

[RunnerforLife14]

Damn. I was hoping this would not happen to you too.

Yeah, you were the last one left of our little mini thread. Was holding out hope that one of us would make it out of the gauntlet. That's how it goes I guess. They don't want us "science-y" people I guess 😛

onward soldiers! Good luck elsewhere!
