Anyone heard from BU?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
me neither. I interviewed on 2/2, and they told me they'd get to us in 4-6 weeks. I saw in a different post here that someone from that same day was accepted on 2/3. I called today and they said I must still be under review, so who knows.

I`m in the same boat! Called a few days ago, and got the same answer. I don`t know what`s taking them so long, but it doesn`t say much for how the school operates!
 
haven't heard a thing... interviewed mid-feb.
 
one of my friends was interviewed on the jan 22 still didnt hear anything from them yet
 
interviewedd on feb 19 and haven't heard anything since then
doesn it mean that i am waitlisted?
 
I wish! Still waiting to hear back, I interviewed on Feb 8, so it's 4 weeks to-date.
no news can be good news!! 🙂
 
They've started sending out rejections... I got the email today.
 
got rejected from BU as well yesterday. its pretty ridiculous when you have a strong application but the fact you happened to take bio 1 when you were in community college completely overlooks the fact that you took a bunch of upper level sciences and did well in them. thanks alot BU

lol well at least they're giving him an alternative route and perhaps it will help with his application next year (hopefully he won't need to reapply).

better than schools that make you wait 6 months before dropping the bomb on the applicant

nothing in particular it was just the general stuff. but on the website they say they dont accept any prereqs at CC. I talked to admissions and told them I only took bio 1 at CC and everything else at 4 yr university w/ tons of upper level sciences like immuno, molec 1/2, biochem, microbial metabolism etc. they said well we will take that into consideration when we make out decision and you should apply anyways bc of ur stats. I hope they liked their application fee
 
Are there people out there who are still under review (no interview yet) that haven't been hit by the wave of rejections yesterday? Or is it safe to say BU is done with interviews?

Me! Been under review since August 🙁
 
Received/Under Review since 12/10/2010.. turned in my app. too late... acceptances eleswhere though.
 
ugh this is getting so frustrating!!
i called now to find out the status of my application, only to hear that they don't give them over the phone, and only via email.

I was looking through emails, and last year I got rejected in July.....
 
I just called the school today and asked them if it was too late to send any updates on the application, they said the deadline was last monday.. I also asked if they are done making decisions and she said yes.. They are not only sending out rejections but also acceptance letters so.. for those who already had an interview, all we can do at this point is just wait till we get an email with a final decision..

Thanks, Hopefully they'll start sending acceptance letters soon
 
Does anyone know if BU has already filled-up their class yet ?
 
if i don't hear from them for 3 weeks, it means there's a high chance that i'm either rejected or waitlisted?
 
During my mid-Feb interview, they said we would hear back in 4-6 weeks. That seems like a long time though, seeing how school is just around the corner.

I'm still waiting to hear back from them.
 
I got an email from them today. It basically said that the admission committee goes through a long and selective process in reviewing applications. The rest of their bulk interviews will be held in the next couple of weeks and they will start doing personal interviews until the class is filled. Hope this helps! I've been under review since August as well...🙁
 
Did anybody get accepted recently ?
It seems to be taking so long to hear back from them
 
Trying to keep this thread on the first page,

Sorry

So does that mean that they are still interviewing? I've been under review since september, no response....

I highly doubt that they are still e-mailing people for interview, or interviewing people. I remember they stopped interviewing in March last year. I interviewed last March and was placed on the "alternate" list in late-April last year. The "alternate" list did not move and in fact, people who were not placed on this list had a better chance of getting accepted reading from SDN. It's a good thing that BU is rejecting people this year because they kept me stranded until August when I could have planned for a summer vacation.
 
did anyone get rejected after an interview??
it seems like people who got rejected did not go to the interview..

so frustrated...
 
Hi folks,

I will be giving up my spot tomorrow. Best of luck!
