If you RSVP to any of the second day look dates they say it goes from 10am-3:30pm

 

[saintbernard95]

Are second looks in person or virtual

 

[gogomed0000]

Are second looks in person or virtual

I believe they are in person!

 

[misterjoe4]

Does anybody know how it works with applications to the MSR? Is there a chance that spots would fill up if we wait too long to submit the housing guarantee payment and we can't live in the MSR?

 

[soggymoo]

Anybody received or know when financial aid packages will be sent out? (Last year it seemed like first week of March.)

Receive financial aid package last month, but submitted my forms/documents in December. Not sure what the timeline looks like for recently accepted students!

 

[neuroticism101]

Anybody received or know when financial aid packages will be sent out? (Last year it seemed like first week of March.)

I submitted my docs in early January and haven't gotten anything yet. They say applications are processed on a first come, first served basis so they trickle out.

Same here. Thanks for the info!

 

[gogomed0000]

Same here. Thanks for the info!

I submitted mine early January as well and got my package about a week ago so thinking yours may come soon!

 

[CatDad26]

Expect to be completely disappointed with your financial aid package 🙃.
I have immense financial need and was still given no need based loans. When I appealed and tried to explain my situation I was told that they understand, however they have limited funds to distribute.

can confirm the disappointment
sent documents in early march and got my finaid package today

Ditto. Should say that I got my lack of financial aid. If I'm reading it right, it's a grand total of no help

 

[Morningnight]

I’m sorry to hear that y’all. I wonder if BU ran out of funds early this year because I thought they were relatively generous with need-based aid considering what I’ve heard before.

Not sure if y’all can appeal, but I received $20k need-based scholarship and $10k need-based loan w/ EFC $0.

BU Financial Aid: "I'm sorry, we have limited funds to distribute..."
Also BU: BU’s Endowment Grows by Nearly $1 Billion

🤔

 

[gogomed0000]

Did you receive it in an email?

Yep, I got an email that told me to check my portal.

 

[bluenette23]

Does anyone know how willing BU is to negotiate aid? I just got a way better package from another school but BU is my #1 and I want to see if they will improve my aid (I don’t need a match, just at least the $10k need based loan).

 

[soggymoo]

Anyone know the protocol re. guests for second look?

 

[bluenette23]

No guests (I asked earlier)

 

[soggymoo]

No guests (I asked earlier)

Darn. Thanks!

 

[bluei37]

What about the dress code for second look?

 

[bluenette23]

What about the dress code for second look?

I went to the second look in March. Before the event, an M1 in the GroupMe said that we should wear jeans and a sweater, so I wore nice jeans and a nice sweater. I would say roughly half or so wore that, and the other half wore dress pants/shoes/blouse

 

[glycocalyx3000]

What about the dress code for second look?

The current M1's and the administration have said that you don't need to impress them, it's their turn to impress you. Wear comfortable clothing! You don't need to wear business casual.

 

[archiesmom]

Does anyone have an idea of movement / timing for waitlisted people?

 

[soggymoo]

Does anyone have an idea of movement / timing for waitlisted people?

I imagine it's like most schools around end of April when applicants have to narrow to 1 acceptance.

 

[Justgrinding]

Does anyone have an idea of movement / timing for waitlisted people?

In past years people starting posting about it in early/mid-May

 

[Melvillei]

Is the new curriculum P/F and is the class ranked?

Pre-clinical is supposedly true P/F with no internal ranking. Only 3rd and 4th year clinicals are graded.

 

[Morningnight]

Withdrew my acceptance offer here, hoping that waitlist movement starts soon for y'all!
