[orthobro3000]

I will probably try not check SDN now until Monday LOL. Was so anxious the whole day since they said it would come out around today

 

[mang0steen]

OOS A + Dean's Scholarship! Interviewed 1/22 and received the call from my interviewer at 2:20PST. The email came at 4:00PST.

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

Is there a GroupMe link someone could send me?

 

[NewEnglandGirl]

Congrats! May I ask when you received the email? Just now?

At 7pm EST!

 

[jjetas18]

Is the deans scholarships 5k or 10k per year? I’ve seen different things but can’t tell if it’s variable or the same for everyone

 

[cinnamon920]

Is there an admitted students chat?

 

[deleted1194639]

OOS A! How rare is the 10K deans scholarship? I just got it

Congrats! Did you just hear back right now or portal update earlier?

 

[gram negative goblin]

Congrats! Did the portal update just now?

Updated at 4:30ish for me. I was at work and then went for a longggg walk in the park LOL

 

[fourfofour4]

Anyone still have neither an A nor a WL in their portal?? 😭

+1 OOS waitlist, 6:05am eastern

 

[sdcommenter]

+1 OOS waitlist 6:04 am eastern

 

[Terminator1134]

WL

 

[neuroticism]

+1 OOS WL

 

[rockingturtle]

+1 OOS WL

 

[Neuralneesh]

+1 OOS WL

What has WL movement been like in the past? I saw a thread from 2021 for this school that said a WL is just a soft R 😭

 

[scarletscrubs13]

also looking for this

~300 spots, ~20 offered acceptance

[crspunky]

+1 OOS WL received at like 6am today. Sigh.

 

[The OTC]

WL (3:00 am PST) will be declining since movement in previous years has been 0-20 students.

it’s been real🫡

 

[hillbillybuck]

+1 WL at around 6am pst

 

[jtvle]

+1 OOS WL. Interviewed 11/15, received at 6am EST

 

[OkSoup]

+1 OOS WL, interviewed late Jan

 

[Scrubsandsprings]

WL. Says most movement will occur from June 1st to July 31st. How can this school honestly expect people to wait until that late to find out? By then, most people would have moved or signed leases if they had other acceptances.

 

[double_doc_in_progress]

+1 OOS WL yesterday, withdrawing as there's no way this will work with my life/moving schedule. Fortunate to have As and full rides elsewhere. Best of luck for some movement this year!

Also looking if anyone could send a link 🙂

 

[airquis91]

Is there a GroupMe link?

 

[drmatcha]

+1 OOS WL, wondering what's the point of having that many spots with a 6% chance of getting off :/

 

[dominoes1207]

+1 OOS WL

 

[gram negative goblin]

Is there a GroupMe link?

I was wondering the same. Maybe a FB group?

 

[popcorn5]

Wow, I can't believe there's not a single rejection on here. I got an IS R at 6:04 PM yesterday. Sad, but I was likely going somewhere else anyway 🙂 Good luck everyone.
This was my easiest interview but I must have really done something wrong. LOL.

 

[orthobro3000]

+1 OOS WL, this one stung but it is what it is haha. We did our best

Thank you for sharing this - while I’m sorry you were rejected, it’s helpful to have a full picture of what decisions went out. Best of luck at your school! 🙂

Sometimes you do everything right but you’re not a good “fit” for whatever reason. At least that’s how I rationalize it, lol. Good luck at your other school!

Just made one! GroupMe Accepted Students BU

 

[onetakemd]

Has anybody received a financial aid package?

 

[BiomedEGR777]

Has anybody received a financial aid package?

Not yet, eagerly awaiting lol.

 

[deleted1194639]

I'm extremely confused by recent correspondence, do they want us to make a decision on an acceptance by today? What happened to April 30th?

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

They want us to *accept* our acceptance. Not the same as making a decision!

 

[deleted1194639]

What exactly is the difference between "reserving" and "committing" to your acceptance seat?

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

What exactly is the difference between "reserving" and "committing" to your acceptance seat?

Reserving just means it’s held for you until April 30

Committing means you are matriculating

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

Withdrawing my A and Dean’s Scholarship—hoping it goes to one of you! Cheers 🙂

 

[mintchocochip]

Just to share - I spoke to the financial aid office, and they said they are estimating that they will get financial aid offers out to students in the next few weeks!

 

[hellafromthebay8]

I know there is no way of knowing, but of the 300 WL offers they give how many ppl actually accept a spot on the WL?

If u can’t tell the waiting game is killing me 🙃

 

[BiomedEGR777]

has anyone gotten anything from financial aid yet? at this point its starting to get annoying

 

[findingdory]

nothing yet, although during the accepted student day last week, they mentioned they plan to send out the packages sometime this week
