Hi guys, I'm trying to finish and submit this secondary. I grew up as a Jehovah's Witness and then transitioned out of that cult during my third year of college. I have written out this adversity/challenge prompt for other schools. Do you guys think this is applicable for question 4 or 6? Or should I just leave those questions blank, thank you!

That sounds like an interesting essay, I would say more relevant to question 6.

watching people who submitted after me get IIs and slowly realizing I'm about to get an R from my top choice :')

Not necessarily. Early on, it could just mean they don't have the logistics to interview everyone they want, so it could have been a lottery.

We have no insight into how they do their interview process. It’s still early. Have hope!

I agree it's still early to think too much about it! I submitted 7/14 and haven't heard back still. Not worried at all though!

From what I have seen this cycle so far, completion dates are not that much of an indicator of an II, of course with the exception for a couple schools.

Does anyone know if BU is willing to provide reasons for my rejection if I email the adcom?
Doesn’t hurt to try but also they receive so many applicants I wouldn’t expect a reason beyond “we can’t take everybody”
