[legacybush]

Is it too late to apply to this school?

 

[bdaycake]

Is it too late to apply to this school?

No, the application is not closed.

 

[legacybush]

No, the application is not closed.

I meant in regards to getting an interview after applying now.

 

[B4SS]

I meant in regards to getting an interview after applying now.

It's never too late unless you have passed the deadline for submission; however, your chances will become less and less likely, perhaps exponentially, as the class fills up and depending on your stats. It's up to you to be honest with yourself to made an educated decision on your chance as time passes.

Has anyone heard back from admissions today? I'm wondering how often the interviews are sent out

 

[Zeplin05]

Did anyone hear back this week?

 

[Zeplin05]

How many of you are masters students here?

 

[jkam123]

How many of you are masters students here?

Not sure if you mean medical masters programs or just any, but I have an MS in Management. Was invited for an interview last Friday.

 

[Zeplin05]

Well I meant any kind of Masters. I’m also a current Masters student in Biological Sciences. Haven’t gotten an interview yet.

 

[Sheepsheep1]

Application completed: June 27.... Does it mean I'm not competitive enough...?

 

[Navimoto]

How many of you are masters students here?

Completing my Masters in Immunology this month.

Application completed: June 27.... Does it mean I'm not competitive enough...?

Admissions is rolling, so plenty of time. I received an interview last year and was waitlisted/not accepted, however one of the applicants at the same interview was accepted soon after.

I took my DAT on Saturday and self reported my scores on AADSAS immediately after. I just received an application complete/under review email from BU. Will they really begin reviewing my application now or will they wait to receive the official score report when it comes in 2 weeks or so? I applied back in early July and have already had all my grades and letters verified.

They will most likely wait for official scores. I do recall that some schools will accept unofficial scores as a placeholder. Having said that I'd totally call/email to make sure every school has your DAT score when the official scores become available.
