[OralBee]

I saw on Facebook that somebody got an invite from BU yesterday. Did any of y'all?

 

[fafa_99]

I haven't heard anything yet. What time was that?

 

[deleted1070139]

No, but I submitted on July 13th and completed on July 14th so it depends on when this individual sent everything in

I have no idea. They didn't really respond after posting

 

[fafa_99]

That's what I was thinking too. They are probably starting with the June submissions

 

[fafa_99]

Oh I see, thank you

 

[fafa_99]

Does anyone know when CASPER should be taken? I read that it is required, but I wasn't sure if it is a prerequisite.

Question, is this your second interview? It’s says interview #2

 

[fridayenergy12]

Starting to get nervous about not receiving any interviews yet but I’ve heard that a lot of people start getting interviews in Sept/Oct. Just have to trust the process I guess!

does anyone know how many people BU interview?

 

[fafa_99]

does anyone know how many people BU interview?

Not too sure, but I have been using this Excel worksheet to kind of get an idea. I got it from DATBooster, and I was told that it is based on "recent" cycles. According to that, 75/125 are interviewed as IS and 256/3326 as OS. Idk how accurate that is though

 

[samuelsam]

I’ve seen this excel sheet but I think it’s based on applicants for the full program not advanced standing

 

[fafa_99]

Yes, only In State (IS) and Out of State (OS). I didn't pay attention to AS because I am not applying as one

[calpredent]

Are we supposed to take casper in order to be considered for an interview? Or is that for after the interview?
