Pre-II R as well, complete 7/27. I will say they have one of the nicest rejection emails I've read so far.

Pretty sure my CASPER score killed my chances as well...
Isn’t 4th quartile the highest? I.e., 75-100 percentile score?
I think he/she was sarcastic 🙂)

congrats! got the R here, but saw you got an II yesterday (or maybe last week) too! you're killing it 🙂
OOS II today! Complete 8/15, 2nd quartile CASPer
Oops haha
For anyone who interviewed, is there no other event on interview day besides the interview itself? No welcome panel, Q&A, or anything else? I know they held sessions on other days, but I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything for interview day, itself.

That was my experience….only the interview on interview day

Also, do we have to attend those other sessions the same week as our interview, or could I technically attend anytime?

Pre II R - complete 7/26 - 518 3.8X
I think anytime! As long as it is before your interview, from what I understand
complete 7/29 and still haven't heard anything. Should I take this as a good sign?

I haven't heard back either, but not holding my breath for this one. I was complete 8/01, LM 75-76 and I also thought I had a chance for a while, but I think it may just be that I was assigned a slow reviewer.

Question for those who already interviewed - was there anything specific asked during your interview about the info sessions/is there a real reason the sessions are "required" before interviewing or are they just like any other info sessions?
Due to a scheduling conflict, I had to change my interview date from 12/14 to 11/17, so my intro session with Dr. Goodell is now AFTER my interview. I am panicking about this a bit and would appreciate any insight!

The intro session is just like all the others, don't stress! Although Dr Goodell makes it engaging and fun. It was nice to get a feel for BU before my interview but definitely not essential by any means. I think I remember them saying that it was "strongly recommended" or something to attend pre-interview but definitely not a requirement. Good luck interviewing!
What percentage of interviewees were all formally dressed up? (during the intro session)
majority of people at mine were in suits- I felt a little weird at first because I was dressed v casually, but Dr. Goodell said something like “I see a lot of you are dressed to the nines and I appreciate it, but you really didn’t have to!!”

That was me up until literally this morning. Seems they are gradually working through the Rs right now
Ah, so they're not working through the applications chronologically? I guess I'll just have to wait for the R then lol
