2018-2019 Boston University School of Medicine

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I got my answer in January via email. I received a call a week later, but it was to confirm mutual acceptance. Don't lose hope.
@jat2mc is right: You might get an email randomly one of these days that begins with "Congratulations!...."

Email received. It’s an R but that’s ok! Didn’t feel like this school was a good match for me.

Oh look another waitlist, Jesus Christ is there some secret handshake I didn't learn or something. So excited to remain in purgatory for another three months

Not to be a downer, but it's not great. 2017-2018 there was zero movement. This year though, with the change in traffic rules, who knows...
Thanks for the information- I would rather have a realistic outlook than get my hopes up.

Accepted!!!!Does anyone know if there will be any activities the night before second look? I'm thinking of catching a red-eye out to Boston and arriving the morning of second look but don't want to miss anything the night before. Also trying to save money for the $1000 deposit (housing + tuition deposit).......

Sigh waitlisted.

Does anybody know why decisions will be sent out June - July? I had seen WL movement threads that report movement at other schools starting in April/May but June/July seems pretty late :(

I guess the rule change must have something to do with it but could anybody offer an explanation of why it's so late this year? Or does it vary by school and BU has always been June/July?

I can't even find one for class of 2022...

I found the Class of 2022 page on Facebook. It was created March 28th last year, so I guess we can expect a Class of 2023 group late march? Regardless, I’m very excited to meet my future classmates :)
