no news is no fun, but when u get ur hopes up for the potential of life altering news and it turns out to be a false alarm, no news ends up being easier to digest. I've been there about a thousand times, it sucks, but u never know when u might finally get that one letter that doesnt suck. good luck.
hey guys do you know if fedex ever leaves packages or letters at your doorstep? i missed the fedex guy today and was left a door tag.
FedEx doesn't do that...but good luck! I hope it's good news.
I'm glad I'm away at college right now...otherwise all I would do with my time is sit and wait for a possible fedex guy to come along.
=(
I would definitely drive myself crazy! lol

Whatever happens, its been a privledge being on the waitlist at BU. Four years ago if someone had told me that you would be on a waitlist at a dental school in Boston, I would've said you're shi**ten me. We are this close from being trained as professional dentists; its something to be proud of.
The almighty has a plan for each and every one of us and if we don't get off the list this year, a better school awaits us (for our personal situation) in the future. This is what I tell myself everyday as I hear frog croaks by the mailbox.
Good luck to all, and God bless.

you guys are blowing my mind 😀, but it doesnt make this situation any more tolerable....I'd just like to know either way so i can stop thinking about it.
Hey Guys, I made out with a Fed Ex Guy today. Well almost. I don't think that guy has ever seen someone this happy in his entire life. I got an email saying to expect a package from Fed Ex on Monday from Laura. I just wanted to say that I have been checking this forum about as much as my email these past few weeks, and I really enjoyed reading everything you guys wrote. I am sure there is gonna be more movement, the deposit is due on Friday, so people might still withdraw. Good luck to you all, and everyone who got in we should all get together the first night and celebrate.
Good Luck
Good Luck
So I'm sitting in my house reading and i hear that big truck with bad brakes noise outside....so i humor myself and look out the window...who is parked directly in front of my house on my side of the street??? The fedex man of course...i watch him like a sniper as he reaches down and emerges from the truck with an envelope package.....im about to reach for a beer and then he casually walks across the street to my neighbors house and delivers the package...............................................so instead of that celebratory beer I go back to studying for the DAT.....awesome👎
i guess thats not quite as frustrating as Dr. PJ's fedex story

I have a pair of tweezers in my hand, and I am severely contemplating plucking out every single hair on my head.
Or studying for my analytical chem exam tomorrow morning (which is just as torturous)
Either way, I'm still waiting on an answer...and the waiting is absolutely nothing compared to plucking out every hair on my head with tweezers.
Like khansahaab said, we're lucky to even be here. Be proud of that, regardless of what the final outcome is. Hey! If not this year, maybe next, right? =) God makes no mistakes, you guys.
Good luck everyone, and to those that got off the waitlist, congratulations!

I would send it out ASAP as interview invites have started already.
Also, keep in touch on a regular basis with BU. It will definitely help.

I am applying for the 2008 cycle. I would LOVE to be in Boston. When you say to keep in touch with BU regularly, what exactly do you mean?
Thanks for the help, and congratulations 🙂
I would say that you should keep in touch with them after you have had your interview and they had a chance to meet you. You can call or email your interviewer and express to them how much you would like to attend their school etc. At least that way it shows you are really interested in their school and would attend if offered a spot. Just my .02$

Hey,
I agree 100% with UJ007. Have regular contact with them only after an interview.
Good Luck.
hey all. Does BU now require calculus?? They obviously didnt require it last year or I wouldnt be on the waitlist.....I got confused checking out the Official Guide to Dental Schools. Check it out. Thanks.😀
congrats airpotatoe....a strange question but I was wondering what your caller id registered when u got the call. did it show an actual number or did it say "private" or "unavailable"? lol. I know, its a weird question. good luck with everything.
It showed a number. It was a Boston area code.
It's not a weird question, because when I saw the Boston area code, my jaw dropped....it was a very pretty sight.
I just wanted to let you guys know that a lot of people get off the waitlist...don't lose hope although orientation is coming up. I heard of one student who got in on orientation day! There is still one business day left...I would call the school and tell them you are willing to come on orientation day if there is a chance of getting in. Sometimes, when a student doesnt show up on orientation day, the seat is open to anyone. The school does not want to lose money for the seat lost so be persistent and tell them you really want to go to BU and that you are willing to do anything! You really have nothing to lose at this point...PM me if you need anything. Good luck to you all!
I just wanted to add that it may be helpful to talk to Laura directly or to Dr. Shaw. I would explain my situation and tell reiterate how much you want to go to BU Dental School. There's always hope and best wishes to all!
