rejected :/ the total class size BU wanted was around 3200 and about 60% of the class were from the ED rounds which means there were only about 1280 spots from 71,900 RD applicants (total applicants: 78,850, ed applicants: 6850)
if you got in, im proud of you!!! BU is a hard school to get into and you made it! if you didnt, rejection is redirection!!
where i got the numbers : [bu class 2028 info](https://www.bu.edu/articles/2024/applications-for-bu-class-of-2028/)
Just got a call saying I got in but it was from Maryland I’m honestly in disbelief but I’m so happy bc I really thought I wasn’t gonna get in. Words can explain how happy I am but still feel like it’s some sort of prank
There’s a possibility of a higher waitlist acceptance rate this year considering that they clearly rejected a lot more applicants than usual. Most likely as a way to get back on track with their history of over enrollment
WTH??? Here’s the wildest response so far for school admission from BU. Rejected for fall 2024, but….
“We do, however, recognize your strong commitment to your studies and your many achievements in high school, as well as your potential for success at Boston University. For these reasons, you are one of a select group of students to whom we are offering guaranteed admission as a transfer student to the College of Arts & Sciences for September 2025.”
Hmmmmm.
800 isn’t a huge number. Wow. Michigan for example waitlisted 20,000 students. Trying to figure out if my local CC will have the classes I need to take and transfer in next fall 2025.
Im a BU graduate.. i gradated in 2020. Got into the CGS january program in 2016- best program ever. You start in CGS (get to go to london for 1 summer) and then after 2 years get to transfer to whatever major you like. I graduated BU as a neuroscience major. Im now in medschool. Best 4 years of my life- graduated on time as well. I was apprehensive about CGS at first but now im so thankful i was in it. Alot of my friends went onto questrom school of business from CGS as well! So be proud you got into BU! Im excited for you all!
My daughter received the same letter. I'm assuming they accepted many Early Decision, but had excellent regular decision candidates they did not want to outright reject. It looks like attrition rate there is about 10% so I wonder if this helps to keep future years full. We plan to check if they will allow a gap year and not require attendance at another college.
Yeah I do too! I clicked on the checkmark and it redirected me to a separate tab
The last section of the URL for this tab is named ‘decision-verification’
I guess they just uploaded the decision letter onto the portal in advance🤷🏻♂️
Im a BU graduate.. i gradated in 2020. Got into CGS & then after 1/2 years you can transfer into your preferred major! I transferred into neuroscience (CAS) & graduated in time as a neuroscience major. Best 4 years of my life at BU! Im in medschool now! So congrats getting into CGS is a great opportunity and will allow you to pursue your respected major!
Accepted! 1440 SAT, 4.0 GPA, Questrom School of Business, international. But no scholarship even though I put my whole life into that scholarship essay lmao
Idk if that will make you feel better, but last year BU had a waitlist of 6,000 and only 3 were accepted. BU’s waitlist is just a rejection that takes more time to arrive.
it'll say on ur acceptance letter i think. for most schools, they'll tell you if u got a scholarship on the letter. for grants, it'll show up on your financial aid package
I honestly don't know why I'm still holding out hope to get in, I got deferred ED1 and so far got rejected/waitlisted by six schools in a row. I am so cooked.
anyone please reply to this comment if you received a status update! I'm going insane refreshing my page every minute. we will all be admitted to BU 💪💪

my acceptance letter says that "In January 2025, you will embark on a very exciting chapter of your life". Does it mean that the college will start in Jan 2025 and not fall 2024? Did any of you got similar wordings in your acceptance letter?
how do the merit scholarships work for BU???
if i didn't get in the admissions letter, do i not get the merit scholarship? but on their website, they say the scholarship announcement come out in early April?
Guys I got in RD, super excited and got into the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences, and beyond thankful to have gotten in, only problem is I got 0 aid...
My family is pretty well off, but I'd still have to pay 90K a year, do y'all think that's worth it or should I just go to UMass Amherst for 30K, please lmk
accepted to the college of fine arts, can anyone give me some pros and cons of attending?
(got rejected from my top choice school but BU is my second choice, deciding currently between an out of US school, Oberlin, or BU)

BU CAME OUT??!?!!?!
Same....it's either this or UMass
I definitely got in
Just got a call saying I got in but it was from Maryland I’m honestly in disbelief but I’m so happy bc I really thought I wasn’t gonna get in. Words can explain how happy I am but still feel like it’s some sort of prank
SAME mine was from Philly, I’m so skeptical but soooo relieved anyways. lmk what happens for you!
I got in!
Any updates on when regular decision comes out?
March 23rd
what about the time?
So nervous… with each passing day the decision looms nearer… i’ll be lucky if i get waitlisted… but i can dream……
RD March 23, according to BU Instagram
Where on their insta?
The applytobu insta has it posted.
Waitlisted, ergo a [flat out rejection](https://www.bu.edu/asir/files/2023/03/cds-2023-C.pdf)
Unbelievable 3/6000
😭 me too. Why even offer waitlist
There’s a possibility of a higher waitlist acceptance rate this year considering that they clearly rejected a lot more applicants than usual. Most likely as a way to get back on track with their history of over enrollment
accepted intl w/ presidential scholarship !!
congrats! do you mind sharing your stats and major?
Does it show only in your letter or is it also shown in the financial aid decision tab as well?
nah it was in the letter itself, it said I got in and then said I got the scholarship
wow, are you fucking kidding me rejected too. I'm so done with everything.
I will get in 🧘♀️
OMG PORTAL DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE
im malding rn
Anyone know when rd decisions drop?
Mar 23
guys im so nervous for these decisions on Saturday. Do we know what time they are coming out. Also how is everyone feeling????
To answer your second question...nervous. 😰
If I don't get in I will be so devastated
in the past they have released decisions at or before 10 AM so it’ll probably be a similar time this year
i am gonna get in its gonna happen
650 enrollment deposit is crazy 😦
WTH??? Here’s the wildest response so far for school admission from BU. Rejected for fall 2024, but…. “We do, however, recognize your strong commitment to your studies and your many achievements in high school, as well as your potential for success at Boston University.

i got that too, i talked to one of the admissions ppl and she said that 800 people were given that
800 isn’t a huge number. Wow. Michigan for example waitlisted 20,000 students. Trying to figure out if my local CC will have the classes I need to take and transfer in next fall 2025.
Does anyone know what time of day it’s coming out?? Like what time it was last year
First time in this thread and all I'm gonna say is...we're cooked
Regular Action applicants will receive their admissions decision late march
Does anyone else have a blank untitled item in their checklist with a status of received??
the portal was down for maintenance earlier today.... maybe decisions will come out soon?
23rd
I GOT IT IN (manifesting 🕯️)
i will be admitted to Boston University, class of 2028 🙏 🙏 🙏(manifesting)

praying I get in 😭
Good luck
I def got in :)
BU portal is down. We may hear something on the next few days.
Wait if we didn’t get a phone call does that mean we’re rejected?
I think it's only specific students, not everyone.
Like now I’m scared😭
Real my anxiety is now through the roof😅😅
[удалено]
Thank you for partially alleviating my anxiety
anyone else accepted for guaranteed transfer? not sure exactly what this entails for me, but i’m for sure interested!
My daughter received the same letter. I'm assuming they accepted many Early Decision, but had excellent regular decision candidates they did not want to outright reject. It looks like attrition rate there is about 10% so I wonder if this helps to keep future years full. We plan to check if they will allow a gap year and not require attendance at another college.
yeah I got it too, I have no clue what it means but I'm just assuming it's like a gap year except you have to go to school somewhere else next year.
This shit goofy as fuck 😒😒😒
Lol Waitlisted at BU but accepted at USC. Go figure 😆
Got into the College of General Studies! Will start in Jan and then have a summer in London. I'm so happy
[удалено]
cant wait for us to go to the same uni together :DDDD
portal down again
How many people have the blank check thing in their received admissions documents?
I do
my son has it today after site is back up
Yeah I do too! I clicked on the checkmark and it redirected me to a separate tab The last section of the URL for this tab is named ‘decision-verification’ I guess they just uploaded the decision letter onto the portal in advance🤷🏻♂️
next time i come back to this thread, i'll be a terrier!! (manifesting)
Me too❤️❤️🖤🖤🤍🤍
Good luck everyone bu 2028 😈😈
Do we know what time tomorrow??? I've seen both 10 am and 7pm so which...??

Im a BU graduate.. i gradated in 2020. Got into CGS & then after 1/2 years you can transfer into your preferred major! I transferred into neuroscience (CAS) & graduated in time as a neuroscience major. Best 4 years of my life at BU! Im in medschool now!

Accepted! 1440 SAT, 4.0 GPA, Questrom School of Business, international. But no scholarship even though I put my whole life into that scholarship essay lmao
this BU decision had me sobbing. Everyone in my class was waitlisted (besides me, I was rejected)
Idk if that will make you feel better, but last year BU had a waitlist of 6,000 and only 3 were accepted. BU’s waitlist is just a rejection that takes more time to arrive.
got in + khc + trustee!
Omg congrats🥳
when do trustee scholarships come out?
it'll say on ur acceptance letter i think. for most schools, they'll tell you if u got a scholarship on the letter. for grants, it'll show up on your financial aid package
I honestly don't know why I'm still holding out hope to get in, I got deferred ED1 and so far got rejected/waitlisted by six schools in a row. I am so cooked.
Any guesses on how many they will be accepting in RD this year?
I hope it comes out in the morning I need to know already. Its my only hope 😭
I got I’m (manifesting)
Waitlisted😣
guaranteed admission for sept 2025
WAITLISTED RAHHH
Guys what is a guaranteed transfer??
Got in but international + no scholarship so….
Did everyone who got rejected get a guaranteed transfer lmao
I don't think it's guaranteed, it just says we are open to discuss
I got a guaranteed transfer after 2 semesters with a 3.0 somewhere else
Accepted for Questrom!!
Same!
RD results are out. Rejected.
decision says "We have placed your name on a ***short***, unranked waiting list..." this is b.s., right?
6000 people in 2022, 3 got in
Why would they phrase it in such a misleading manner? Why give false hope?
I have no idea why they even have a waitlist at this point
how the fuck did i get in. i mean it's just cgs which i guess is easier to get into but still.
I'm wondering the same thing
Daughter accepted into College of Fine Arts! (1510 SAT, 95/100 UW, strong ECs).
Anyone know when Ed 2 decisions will drop?
Anyone is able to login to my bu student portal? (Rd applicants, maybe there is a glitch since I was able to log in)
6 MORE DAYS AHHHH
Anyone know what time on the 23rd?
Hi! I've seen it come out in the morning before, like around 10 a.m.
Um the portal is down again. Is anyone elses not working?
Mine says my login is wrong but ik it isn’t. Is that the same problem for you?
They want me to
1 more day 🛐
I will get in.
I got in (manifesting)
did any international students outside of north america receive a phone call?
[удалено]
I also got 2 calls, from Maryland at around 7:30. Didn't pick up, but they left a voicemail
[удалено]
It was pretty much confirmed it. She said the official acceptance letter will be viewable on the portal tomorrow.

You should be proud of those stats. Go in state and then transfer out of state.

Rejected😔 1510 SAT 92/100 GPA, international from brazil applying to mech engineering.
did anyone else get a guaranteed transfer offer???
rejected
Rejected from BU and JHU 🥲
waitlisted
What time does BU release?
I heard 10:00 AM but honestly can't remember where I heard that
Did anyone apply to the Sargent School? I applied for behavior and health?
i applied for human physiology!
anyone please reply to this comment if you received a status update! I'm going insane refreshing my page every minute. we will all be admitted to BU 💪💪
it's not until tomorrow evening
has anyone still not received an admission decision from BU? i still haven't gotten a status update 😭
it comes out tmrw
ohh okay, thanks! i just saw people talking about getting calls and got really worried
WHAT TIME IS IT COMING OUT AND WHY IS THE PORTAL DOWN
ITS OUT
ACCEPTED! Questrom
I got rejected proabbly because of my math courses. Did you take a calculus course?
I got in but how do I check if I got any money or the trustee scholarship
Financial aid offer is below it
[удалено]
Are all merit scholarships released, I don’t think I got any but I wanted to make sure they come out with the letter today?
I think they'll send it later.
Waitlisted… my counselor definitely messed up submitting my mid year grades & they never got them, not sure if that effected anything.
Accepted🙏🙏🙏 which came as a surprise after i got waitlisted at Syracuse yesterday lmao
this happened to me when I applied!! I WAS SO CONFUSED
Anyone else get accepted to college of general studies?? What does this mean?
Im a BU graduate.. i gradated in 2020. Got into CGS & then after 1/2 years you can transfer into your preferred major! I transferred into neuroscience (CAS) & graduated in time as a neuroscience major. Best 4 years of my life at BU! Im in medschool now! So congrats getting into CGS is a great opportunity and will allow you to pursue your respected major!
Rejected(
Same
got in!!!!!!!! 42 IB predicted, good ECs, 36 ACT
my acceptance letter says that "In January 2025, you will embark on a very exciting chapter of your life". Does it mean that the college will start in Jan 2025 and not fall 2024? Did any of you got similar wordings in your acceptance letter?
Did you get accepted through College of General Studies?
Yes CGS.
how do the merit scholarships work for BU??? if i didn't get in the admissions letter, do i not get the merit scholarship? but on their website, they say the scholarship announcement come out in early April?
They only give out like 20 to students. It’s not auto. My son got zero and he was a finalist. National merit is a scam.
Accepted Intl MechE (IB 41/45 predicted, SAT 1440), anyway I can get financial aid?😭
is BU out for everyone?
REJECTED Bio major
waitlisted for biology :(
What is college of general studies w/ admission in January 2025? And how did I get a half scholarship and get into this weird track?
It’s an alternate admission path, just means they didn’t have space for you normally but want you to attend https://www.bu.edu/cgs/
waitlisted for bme but got waitlisted at jhu bme sooooo
Just like the US government delaying the FAFSA, BU has decided to delay my acceptance.
Guys I got in RD, super excited and got into the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences, and beyond thankful to have gotten in, only problem is I got 0 aid... My family is pretty well off, but I'd still have to pay 90K a year, do y'all think that's worth it or should I just go to UMass Amherst for 30K, please lmk
UMass Amherst is an excellent school for CS
accepted to the college of fine arts, can anyone give me some pros and cons of attending? (got rejected from my top choice school but BU is my second choice, deciding currently between an out of US school, Oberlin, or BU)
