Yeah nothing lol. Maybe they are sending out the notification in waves or something.

Just got mine. Here it is:
"In an effort to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus, and in accordance with the policies of Boston University and Boston Medical Center, all gatherings with more than 10 people have been cancelled at BUSM from March 16-April 13. For this reason, the Accepted Student Open House on April 4 will be presented in a virtual, interactive online format. Faculty, staff, and students are working diligently to create an event that covers aspects of student affairs, the curriculum and life in Boston, and that will hopefully give incoming students a chance to connect with each other and with current students and faculty. We will provide additional information on login information and the agenda for the new Virtual Open House as soon as it is finalized.

We know that many of you share our disappointment - we love getting the chance to see you again and welcome you to campus. We hope that we'll still be able to provide info to those of you making decisions about where to attend medical school, and we look forward to greeting you in person with enthusiasm when you arrive for the start of the next school year."

Edit: Would also love an admitted students FB page

I was looking at previous years accepted pages (all time highest level of neuroticism for me lmao) and they were basically all made in late March. Maybe ours will follow suit?

FYI a FB group is now available for the class of 2024

Can't find it. Is it just Bu med class of 2024 or something?

Edit: NVM found it. Called "Boston University school of medicine class of 2024". No idea why it didn't show up my first search lol

Only look like there's one guy in it though?

Can someone share a link?

 

[throwawayofcourse]

hahaha y'all i accidentally joined BU undergrad class of 2024 and was like damn my classmates look younger than I thought they would....


edit: if you have a link pls share x favor

 

[BUSM24Student]

I just checked again. Can't find the group anymore

 

[u_raptor]

Lol we could make an unofficial one but there wouldn't be any current students to pester hahaha

 

[deleted1039112]

This is annoying lol with the FB group

 

[themightychondrion]

FB group just went up - check email 🙂

 

[dgnsc]

out of curiosity
given that the FB page has everyone accepted in it, will a new FB page be remade once the class is finalized or what will happen to non-BUSM people?

I think people that end up going elsewhere will just naturally leave the group over time

Withdrew from WL, good luck to everyone.

Was wondering about this too? Do any current students have input?

 

[deleted688779]

People who have received financial aid packages, anyone received need-based grants?

 

[dgnsc]

I just noticed they increased the price of tuition by $2,000 from last year too 🙁

 

[seafarer097]

[darth_chonker]

Got my award, all loans. Will be withdrawing my A and 10k scholarship in a few days, hope one of you gets it!

 

[u_raptor]

Also got all loans beyond the 15k deans scholarship. Unfortunate.

Was anyone able to sign up for an appointment via the Financial Aid Counseling Request form? No available meeting times ever showed up for me. Perhaps it will open up tomorrow. Or it was completely booked almost instantly, which doesn't seem likely.

I was. Email them!

I just finished my Financial aid meeting. Basically, your award is set, there is no award matching. Since all I received were loans, I am likely to be withdrawing my acceptance, unfortunately.

+1, asked about matching a scholarship and was told BU doesn't do that

So what your saying is there no chance for us to receive a merit scholarship from someone who dropped their A or decided to go elsewhere

I only asked about need-based aid. Not sure about merit

I asked that too
Apparently the scholarship is determined through a specific formula and was told it's set in stone...

 

[lukesup_12]

Does anyone have any success emailing the financial aid office to set up an appointment, I’ve tried to set up one multiple times through the YouCanBook me link but it states there is no availability
