Boston interview!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I want to apply to BU but I am worried about my Toefl score, which is 99 IBT. My part1 87 and Part 2 80. What are my chances please tell me about my Toefl scores whether they are going to consider it or I will have to retake it. Thanks
 
i think you should apply first and take toefl again and update them with the score...it is better to have above 100...hope this helps.

You have to retake if you want them to consider your application. Minimum Toefl score for BU is 100. You have time as their aplication deadline is next year if I am not mistaken. Good luck!

Thanks Blessme and Raluca for your quick reply but one of my friend told me they have invited a candidate with scores 95-96 in Toefl. I am not sure but believe its true. Thanks anyway. I will apply and update the scores.

Yes, you have good credentials! Apply ASAP to BU, as their admission is on rolling basis (Deadline -1st Feb). Good luck with your admissions,

even i was gonna ask the same que
rolling addmission means that first come first serve
but who is the first come ........the one who files the e application first
or
the one whose application is completed first
can any body help .................
 
Hi unrivalled, sella..

Yes, you said it right! Rolling admissions mean first come first serve basis. Your application has to be fully complete in order for the review panel to consider it for an interview. They will not even touch your application unless its fully complete!

Your complete application means official NBDE scores, TOEFL, ECE reports, notarized BDS degree, official transcripts, 3 recommendation letters have to reach office of admissions at BU (plus your online application).

So, a person with a 85-86 NBDE part 1 score ( coupled with other fair credentials) might get selected if he\she has applied to BU earlier in July-august. A person with a same or even better scores (88-89) might not get an interview call if he\she has applied late in the year (Dec-Jan).
Nutshell...need some good damn luck at that point :luck:!

Hope this explains & Good luck ,

You should hear back from Mr. Kahan within a week saying your application is under evaluation & then hopefully soon 👍 followed by your interview call!

Good luck buddy,

Hey unrivalled,

This is quoted from Mr. Kahan's email:

"Please note that we do not schedule second interviews for re-applicants who were interviewed during a prior admissions cycle. Re-applicants who have been interviewed will be notified of their change in status via postage mail"

Hey

ADA will take 15-20 days, at the max, to process and deliver your scores at desired universities. Do not lose hope, with BU you will eventually save a year and tuition for 1 yr. A little money here and there should not hurt you. If it does, you should consider taking up a job (if you have a permit, or if you are in your home country) or else you should atleast try to cut back on your bills and eating-outs and shopping and resources and such (well that is all you can do!).

Good Luck!

Hi Sella,

Don't get disheartened. You will definateley get a call from BU. You have very good stats. Never quit because " Quitters never win and winners never quit" Just stand still and hope for the best. God is there for everyone. Praying for you.
Regards,
Santy

Hey sella,

Don't give up !!!!!! You have worked HARD to get here; and you have a fighting score..And as Ibanez summed up earlier "A little money here and there should not hurt you" ! You will eventually make BIG!
Try one more time & my good wishes & prayers,

👍

Hey Sella ....... come on dear, u know better that 2 attain something in life u have 2 have patience & keep fighting. U just can't give up on such minor setbacks.
I hv seen that u hv been helpful 2 so many people on SDN .... so on behalf of all of us i ask u 2 send ur papers again. Remember d story of spider & king ..... try try try again, till u succeed.

And if that doesn't motivate u, go n watch Pursuit of Happiness.
It surely would. All d best.
 
thanks to all of you for cheering me up
i will definitely send them again......infact have ordered already

and will think positive
wish you all very best
 
Hi
My toefl was missing in BU. Mr Kahan gave me a good idea- he asked me to order score at my home address and then mail that sealed copy directly to BU and it worked. So sella you can try this way..and try using FEDEX or else inplace of usps.
 
hi i received email from mr. kahan today he he said that my application is been evaluated and they will reply between oct to march....

i dont know when i will get my interivew call....i have 90 in nbde....
anyone with same status or have any idea about interview....
 
hey did he say that,its already been evaluated or being evaluated.......sorry to ask u but just wanted to know...becoz he said to me that my aplication is under evaluation.

Hi,
I got my part 1 result yesterday and i got a scorre of 91 and my gpa is 3.81 ece and toefl 111. What do u guys think are my cahnces in BU?
hey doc
did you apply then
so whats going on with you..complete....or considering.......you are a good candidate
if you dont mind to share
 
I guess Boston people only sends emails or invitation letters to whom they invite for an interview.
If they are still considering your application, they wont write back to you.

hi
if you ordered your score report online then it should be there within 20 days
it will be use less to talk to mr kahan if you are sure that it has not been delivered.
but after this period to be on safe side you could call them and make sure if they have recieved it or not
hope this helps.....
good luck
 
hey congrats to all who a got call for interview ........
good luck
