[medemac]

Hit with the 5:23 AM R. Complete 10/7.

 

[entertainerment]

Historically has BU done second/third waves of rejections going back to the July/Aug people? Or is it random once they catch up to complete dates?

 

[emoryundergrad2020]

Does BU give application feedback?

For those of you who have interviewed, how was the 1, 45 minute interview? I assume very low stress and just conversational?

Depends on the interviewer. Some of my fellow interviewees said it was chill, while others said it was so-so, and very few said it was rough. There is one interviewer who is notorious for being rough, even the dean herself said she takes that into account.

 

[kkweens]

withdrew my app. Had an II for December that I hope someone gets soon 🙂

 

[bincx1602]

lmao well if y'all with great stats get an R like that Imma just give up my hope then

 

[imaginespock]

Has anyone that has interviewed heard back yet?

 

[imaginespock]

earliest notification is in January

They told me during my interview in end of October that we would hear back before Christmas!

 

[ksbxc112]

Lol whaaaaat (I’m all for earlier notifications but last year first acceptances went out around Jan 15)

They also told me they want to do things a little differently this year and try to notify the first group before the holidays!

 

[Gshah97]

Early group being up to Nov right?

 

[ksbxc112]

I’m really not sure, I was told this in September so I’m not sure how far up they intend to review for notification in December..

 

[imaginespock]

If I remember correctly, they will have had two committee meetings since the beginning of interviews until December. So I am assuming the second will meet about everyone up until end of November/early December

Hey do you mind if I DM you?

I would say speak to your premed advisor. You could email BU, but they’re still considering you if you haven’t heard anything yet.

I guess I will just leave it and hope for good news, no need to be obnoxious I guess.

Early group being up to Nov right?

I was told at an early november update some of us may hear back before the holidays! So probably up to early to mid November.

 

[kmari3]

When I interviewed they said "around mid to late December" was the earliest that we would hear back! They said that they were changing it from last year and that we could "hope to hear back before Christmas, but definitely by January."

 

[mpa19]

When I interviewed I was told a very small percentage of acceptances would hear in January and the vast majority of everyone else will hear in March

 

[kurzgesagt]

II today! ! ! Canadian applicant too! Complete 8/29

 

[CaliforniaAsian]

II for the MD/PhD today, complete mid November. I might have to cancel though because it conflicts with a previously scheduled II 🙁

 

[CaliforniaAsian]

what dates did they have?

December 13, last and only date for the first round of MD/PhD interviews it seems.
