AADSAS is known to update only on Fridays... So I'm guessing there will be a good lack of sleep for all of us on the Wait List on Thursday nights from now on. Good luck guys!

I don't think you need to get waitlisted... I waited a pretty long time in frustration without any kind of response from them... don't give up hope yet 🙂
 
My AADSAS says waitlisted and "encourages me to show continued interest"
 
is alternate list the same as waitlist?

hm so it seems that they are still reviewing individuals. doesnt that mean people who havent received waitlist or rejection still have a change for acceptance? nice.

Alternate is same as wait list.

And, yes, if you haven't received a wait list letter yet, you might just get in straight off. 🙂
 
Does anyone know how many people are usually waitlisted and what percent of those get accepted?

from past years, BU typically wait lists about 70-90 and accepts almost half of the wait listed people.
 
Hey everyone. I just called and talked to someone at the admissions office. They're not very helpful. The only thing I could really get out of him was that the wait list will be ongoing until August. 🙁 🙁

Sorry everyone. Good luck to us all!
 
hey guys....
aadsas just updated my status to waitlisted.
it says its important to keep in touch with the admissions office and let them know im interested. those of you who have already been waitlisted, how often do you call them?
 
aadsas has changed the url for their websites.
The 2008 cycle application website is:
https://portal.aadsasweb.org/aadsas2008/logon.html
use ur same login

My friend also just received a letter that their on the waitlist also, and i called them a couple days ago and they told me there has been some movement on the list but they couldnt tell me anything else but to wait
 
ALL I WANNA SAY IS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡🙁
ok i'm done
 
another question...

after may 1st arent students required to decide where they will attend? i'm assuming deposits are in and the chances of people backing out would be small...thus waitlist people have a lower chance of getting in at this point right?

Hey everyone. I haven't received any snail mail update yet, but when I check AADSAS online, it tells me that I have also been wait-listed. Will let you know if I hear anything. Good luck to everyone!
 
What's going on guys? No update here. I just don't want this thread to die. Does anyone know the policy on deferrals if you're on the Wait List?
 
Okay, so I got the letter in the mail late last week, dated May 14th, that says I was placed on the "alternate list".
I have no idea regarding deferrment if you're on the waiting list, is there such a thing? Might it also mean a better chance next year when applying early (I'm considering submitting an application soon for next year just in case)?
Thoughts/suggestions?

i am in the same boat....considering reapplying soon....and retaking my dat..yuck
 
I am surprised there hasn't been any BU waitlist movement. I am on the waitlist but dont plan on attending. Hang in there guys there is still plenty of time left ( 2 months+). Good luck!
 
I've already started to plan my masters and DAT retake but hey if I hit that 1:60 odds, I will be pretty estatic.
 
i dont know how it has been for you guys...
but...for me...i turn on my computer...look at wallpaper...click on mozilla...go to nytimes.com...then go to gmail.com...then go to sdn.net (come to this thread ofcourse) and depending on whether im encouraged/discouraged, I go to facebook!
this is my life
 
lol, just woke up, turned on the comp, check my mail, came to sdn....

I cant believe no one from here has heard, i wonder if there has been any movement at all or when there will be....
