I think in the instructions there was an example given. The example had 2 semesters equivalent of each discipline - 2 semesters of chem, bio, math, etc... I don't think they're expecting you to write out your entire transcript...
Well in the faq under the core competencies it said to please list every class you have taken in each category...so l took that literally...but l do rememder the page you mentioned discussing fulfillng prereqs.
I think you're right actually, looks like I made the mistake of considering it as more of prereqs! Hopefully, this won't screw me.
How can you check your Casper quartile?
About a month after you've taken your test, you should receive an email from Altus Suite prompting you that your score is ready to view.
7/9!
saying this for other ppl bc I was so confused- you have to actually schedule your interview before you see the dates for the info sesh
Congrats!
They gave you an II 4 days in advance? wow
Well hey you don’t have to travel to an interview, got to be prepared for your opportunities any time they come to you!
To clarify, my invitation was extended on Tuesday of this week. I’m interviewing late next week.
Ah, got it. So closer to 10 days.
I just saw this reply. Did this get fixed on your portal? Mine still says the same thing and I’m starting to get worried lol
I am a BU graduate student and I personally submitted a committee letter with 5 LORs in it and 1 additional individual LOR. We were told to submit 5-6 letters max in our committee letter and I interpreted that as submit 5-6. I just received an II from BUSM today so I don't think they are going to reject you because you sent the max amount of letters (as long as the letters are strong).
Congrats on the II!!! If you don’t mind, could you share more about your stats/complete date? The II tracker has very little recorded on BUSM so far, so I’m quite curious.
Congrats on your II!
Thank you! Because I am a MAMS student, my stats might not be as useful to you unless you are a non-traditional applicant. Though I can say that I really appreciate BU's emphasis on mission fit instead of on stats because my stats are not as impressive as a lot of the applicants on this website. LM score of 67.60 without taking into account my grad GPA of 3.7x, complete on 7/21. I'm a reapplicant and this is my first ever II. If you want to know specifics, you can message me 🙂
Have all the R's and II's been for MAMS applicants? For some reason, I was under the impression that this was not the case.
From what I've seen on this thread, non-MAMS applicants have already started getting rejected. They are probably reviewing both the normal applicant pool and the MAMS pool simultaneously. The II's that were reported on the tracker could be mainly from MAMS students but there's no way to know that for sure.
Whatever else is going on at BU with respect to favoring the home team, that's called resource protection. Would your buddy have given up his Mayo opportunity to be full pay at BU?
I'm a MAMS student and haven't heard anything
+1 god bless for you. I just checked my portal and also have an II without email notification. OOS, ORM
I was complete 07/09
After you select an interview date, refresh your portal a couple times and a new tab will pop out right under Interview Scheduling. It'll be called Interview Details and Events. If refreshing doesn't work, try logging out of the portal and logging back in!
thanks :") got a text from the BUSM system first and then an email!
That worked, thank you so much!!
Thanks for sharing this insight about the BU process. Could you elaborate more on what it entails to be mission fit at BU and what are the things they are looking for when evaluating this aspect. Thanks for your help!
congrats! are they not sending out emails/texts still?
haven't gotten an email yet, although it says that "confirmation has been sent by email." i assume the system will update tomorrow during business hours and i will get an email then
