Lol I guess I spoke too soon, rejected earlier today. I solemnly wish all of you the best in your applications to BU this year. You got this
Sorry to hear. I think I pretty much know my fate now. No news may not be good news 🙁

Have any BU alums been rejected?
I interviewed a week ago! Very laid-back and friendly. It was all very conversational, so just being yourself is the best way to go.
Thank you!! It's my first one, very glad to hear that.
Congratulations! Would you share your complete date?
hey tekkenman - do you think getting interviewed early give you an edge? their first offer only goes out in jan next year
P.S. i'm interviewing there next week
No because they are not on rolling admissions. You have just as good a chance as I.
Late July
They will probe very hard on your research. A few of the interviewers might even tell you about their research, then ask you questions about it. Be ready! Especially if you get notorious Mr. Vitamin D!
Thanks! In that case I may still have hope 🙂.
I second this. I got asked extensively about research.
Was it specific about your research experiences or more geared to the interviewers research

Mostly mine. I asked my interviewer about her research anyways.
Rejected! Complete 7/23. Good luck to everyone else!
I have similar stats, expecting rejection as well. Would you share where you received the IIs from?

When were you complete?
Rejected! Complete 7/25, LM 75. Good luck everybody!
07/27, so quite a while ago
Yeah, it was disappointing. But, NJMS, RWJMS, and Case Western Reserve. Just hoping for at least one acceptance, after that we can chillaxxxxx
Good luck!
Rejected two weeks ago, complete 8/10, OOS. Good luck!
I just interviewed here and Dean Witzburg said during his closing remarks that BU believes it shouldn't matter when you submit your application, so definitely worth a shot!
Congrats! I've been sitting in silence for a while too. When were you complete?

thanks! I was complete sometime in early-mid august
I got the impression that BU takes into consideration all the communication you have with the school. How long after your interview did the note get uploaded? I sent a thank you email to my interviewer a couple days ago and haven't seen it uploaded yet.
Rejected today (complete late july). Best of luck to everyone still in the running!
Rejected today. 522 MCAT. 3.7 GPA. Complete late 7/28. Super nice email about how we're all exceptional applicants lol.
Sent an update on Sunday just as an FYI.
I have similar stats. Do you have II from other places? No II for me. Consider to send in an update as well.
Yeah I have an upcoming interview at my state school and had one interview at a top 40 and one interview at a top 10 in September. I sent updates to 5 schools last weekend and esp. BU because of all the rejections last week. I'm slowly realizing how fickle med school admissions is so I def would say don't worry. One of my good friends last year got his II at UCLA in February was waitlisted and got in in June and that was the only school he got into so I think its just a long and arduous process. Similarly one of my other good friends got an II at UNC in March and was accepted and matriculated there and both had similar stats. I feel like the people who are interviewing at all the top schools now are the same 500 people and we will get our turn soon!
Thank you for your encouragement. I really need it!
I have an interview at the end of the month. Any tips or words of advice on how to prep?
Rejected today with an LM of 77 (complete mid July)
have people complete early august heard back yet? still nothing from BU
Completed 8/16, II yesterday
Anyone complete end of July hear back?
The next day.
