OOS A with 10k/year Dean's scholarship!

 

[tryingmyverybest]

Are all the emails so far only As with the scholarship?

 

[tryingmyverybest]

Did they all send at once.......? 😨

 

[swag1]

Mine was at 12:48am EST, 2 minutes after BeanHo
edit: PM

 

[PotatoBean]

Non-refundable tuition deposit of $500 is something, tho

Also a few of the links in the PDF they sent are broken

 

[BiomedEGR777]

got the email!

basically all the links are broken haha, but also you don't have to submit the deposit until July 1st so you can withhold that if you get a better offer

mine also contained the scholarship, so that's potentially true

 

[BiomedEGR777]

maybe i am blind I didn't see a scholarship in mine, where did you see yours?

 

[tryingmyverybest]

welp no email

 

[hifromvenus]

No email for me yet and my interviewer was GB 🥲 hopefully they’re sending them out in batches

 

[hellafromthebay8]

welp no email

Same. I have a feeling it’s a deferral.

 

[PotatoBean]

Only part that irks me is that you're supposed to accept the offer by 01/03 but...that link is broken too

I can't see another way to get to it; you?

 

[tryingmyverybest]

Same. I have a feeling it’s a deferral.

Do they accept a lot of people that were deferred?

 

[TheDeadrok]

It was in the pdf mailer, on the second page for me

 

[Paris100]

Just send the rejection, I'm done i need this to be over!

No, I don't think they've updated our portals yet to add the Alerts tab like it mentions, so I'm just waiting until they do

 

[hellafromthebay8]

Do they accept a lot of people that were deferred?

Yea. If we get a deferral it just means we get our decision in march (either A, WL, or R). I know a lot of ppl who r M1s rn who were deferred to march

 

[lonelywoolf]

They literally say that they do most of their acceptances in march so a lot of people end up deferred. Not a death sentence

 

[seaweedbrain]

Deferred just now

 

[BiomedEGR777]

damn oh well, looks like zilch for me in terms of merit lol

 

[Frog333]

Lmao just got the deferral. Interviewed like 10/22 or something.

 

[PotatoBean]

damn oh well, looks like zilch for me in terms of merit lol

Do we know what range they offer in terms of merit? Or anyone willing to share?

 

[BiomedEGR777]

Do we know what range they offer in terms of merit? Or anyone willing to share?

no idea. I had a 3.92 and a 516, so i guess techincally lower than their avg. No major projects/pubs. Non native Spanish interpreter which I think is merit worthy lmao

 

[tryingmyverybest]

do they send Rs in this wave too?

 

[greymolerat]

Anyone else anxiously waiting still? Idk if they send it in batches but thinking it’s a deferral at this point :/

 

[tryingmyverybest]

[throwaway2025]

[BiomedEGR777]

Yeah hahah 100k makes my tummy hurt... wondering about this too!

 

[BiomedEGR777]

Yeah hahah 100k makes my tummy hurt... wondering about this too!

i have a sinking feeling that it's more too, no way rent in boston is 13k, that would probably be with their on campus housing. Id say first year is probably closer to 110+

 

[tryingmyverybest]

WHY R THEY GOING SO SLOW WITH THESE EMAILS PLS

anyone else still have nothing?

 

[Paris100]

The average medical school applicant graduates with $200,000; $400,000 is expensive!!!!!!!!!

Average graduating debt for BU is $220k, which is about the national average if memory serves

 

[tryingmyverybest]

Do they always do 2 waves of emails for deferrals too? Cant see anything like this on last yrs thread

 

[BiomedEGR777]

see this is a livable number. I can handle that much better than 400k lol
