Huh. I don't get how they are accepting students in mid-Feb, and keep acceptance to 60 people...and have an info session in Feb. Surely not all accepted students will accept the acceptance. Do they have a waiting list??

Anyways, for those who are thinking of going, what about the school you like (be specific), and any concerns? How is the faculty - doesn't seem I can find a lot about them on the website. This cud be a question for current students as well!
Much appreciated!

Has anyone figured out the total cost (tuition) of the program @ BU? I came up with about 117K...
Congrats to everyone who got accepted! I also am anxiously awaiting news! I emailed them a few weeks ago to make sure everything was in and complete because I haven't heard anything since I submitted the application in October and the lady I spoke to said she just got it ready to be reviewed by faculty. So you guys heard via email on a Saturday? Hopefully tomorrow will bring good news then...
