Has anyone heard back from BU? Please post your concerns, worries, information about the processing time and ofcourse, your acceptance!

Stratus2675 said:hey wannabedoc,
I'm glad you started this thread. I'm getting my application together and hope to have it out by next week. Have you applied? If you did, how long ago? I hope its not too long of a process. I'd really like to have everything taken care of before I start focusing on the August MCAT.

Got my big yellow admissions packet on March 18th.
The only thing that might keep me from going here is an acceptance from G-town.
wannabedoc34 said:Me too..I am still waiting. Got a question: What are you guys doing for financial aid?
NumquamDede said:Does anybody know how BU works their reviewing process? I sent my app in Jan. I called about a week ago to check and they said that it still had not been reviewed. Does anyone have any insites on this? Also does anyone know what their avg scores and GPAs for acceptance are?
Cheers
monu1234 said:you guys got your acceptances already???? I thought the deadline for the apps was end of march? for those of you that got in, would you mind listing ur stats?
ragingbull said:Still waiting to hear back from GU, but definitely feels good to have something in hand. Seems like you only have 14 days to give BU your answer. Perhaps I should inform GU of my situation, yeah? Also, when do you find out which course schedule you are placed in? (the whole discussion about being on or off track with the med students!
NumquamDede said:Do you guys that were just admitted to BU mind telling what your GPAs and MCATs were?
Cheers
ragingbull said:Just called this morning to check on the paperwork and Ms. Hall informed me that my acceptance packet was sent out 4/8! w00t! =P

Good luck to you all still awaiting word!

monu1234 said:yeaH, so i don't think i'm getting into BU which is kinda depressing, congrats to all of you that get in. although i haven't actually heard my denial, i've raised the white flag
jklasser17 said:Hey Vic,
I called up BU and asked them about the scheduling issue.
She basically said that the admissions committee and advisors are pretty swamped with the enormous amount of apps this year and aren't really available to discuss course scheduling, etc...
She also said that they would be sending out pre-registered course scheduling info in June or July. So basically, the earlier you get in, you get better preference, which in turn i take to mean, on track with the med students.
To those of you awaiting word, take heart, I got accepted by BU and rejected from Loyola. It's just a waiting game.
Peace
dave
Hey Calbear- please "allow and activate private messages" so I can respond to your private message question.calbear15 said:I'm surprised that you didn't get into Loyola. YOu numbers look good. Did they offer you any reasons? If you had gotten in, which do you prefer, Boston or Loyola? (I'm still waiting on both, as well as G-town and RFUMS)
AnotherDork said:Also, Chitown's advice is right- it won't really benefit you if you are planning to apply this year. Good luck to everyone!
Feel free to PM me with questions.
cammy1313 said:I have to respectfully disagree with this assessment. I new several GMSers who applied during the program and were successfully accepted to BU. I might, however, ammend the above statement to say that the program won't really benefit you with regards to other schools if applying that same year. But, I believe this to be true of all post-bac programs. There are schools on the east coast that recognize the caliber of student that programs such as GU and BU produce and so those schools will likely make a play for you right off the bat, as would GU or BU (pending adequate first semester grades). However, if you're from the west coast (for example), BUs rep might not extend that far out. Regardless, applying during the first year of ANY post-bac would delay your app because most schools would like to see your first semester transcript.
ShyD33 said:This is just to chime in. I was accepted last week. I applied December 30th. Stats include 3.4 overal 3.2 science (for the past 2.5 years with all upper level science classes 3.7 overall, 3.6 science) 1300 GRE. No mcat. Goodluck to everyone else. I hope to meet some people from SDN up there.
EDIT: if anyone has some info on places surrounding the med center please PM me. I'm finding super close places in southend.
Fusion said:Cammy, if you made it off the Albany and EVMS waitlists, would you to go either one of those over BU or UCI?
silverdime said:South End or south Boston? Because as someone who lives in Beantown...they're not quite the same thing. The South End isn't the safest place to live, even though the bars are good. I'm thinking of living a little further out to save on rent and on my chance of being mugged.
ShyD33 said:I'm a pretty big boy, so I'd hate to see myself getting mugged. But if there's word like that around, then (at least some percent of) it must be true. Anyways... I'm referring to South End, directly next to BUMC. I don't want to commute, travel by bus, plane, train, or scooter... But of course I'd like to live in a nice place.
Any suggestions other than southend that I could find a place. I'm only concerned with how close I am to school (as in less that a mile away). Let me know if there's any such places. (or else I'm in la-la-land)
