Re: Boston University C/O 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
Waitlisted..
Agree with post above. I’m 164 with a very slightly lower gpa.
If I had maybe 0.1 more gpa I would have been in a better position.. just a guess

I am curious on how many folks are accepted via WL... I know impossible to predict, but wondering if there is a trend

I submitted early October and still have not heard anything. Anyone else in this boat?

Any guesses when we'll hear back on the public interest scholarship?

Both your numbers are exactly at the 25ths, so I'm assuming the odds of acceptance were even less than 5%.NukinFutz wrote:Dinged with a 161, a 3.52 and a 4.14 degree GPA at one of the top national schools.

Did I make a claim as to what my odds were? Did I suggest I should have gotten in? Did I say that I was above the 25ths? Are you mentally defunct?Eleven wrote:Both your numbers are exactly at the 25ths, so I'm assuming the odds of acceptance were even less than 5%.NukinFutz wrote:Dinged with a 161, a 3.52 and a 4.14 degree GPA at one of the top national schools.

Nothing I said was a personal attack. But in all honesty, it doesn't matter if you are an astronaut, an Olympic gold medalist, or cured cancer. The odds of acceptance at any school below both medians is less than 10% regardless of anything else on your application. Period.

I’m probably going to regret hopping in... but I’m guessing that NukinFutz just didn’t appreciate the unsolicited evaluation of their stats. SO, maybe before this exchange continues, we leave it at that and just cross our fingers for people still waiting to hear back - positive thoughts!!Eleven wrote:NukinFutz wrote:

Me neither. I was hoping to hear by now, but I guess we just wait it out. Good luck!jibrahim23 wrote:I submitted early October and still have not heard anything. Anyone else in this boat?

Just got the call! Admitted! Submitted 12/22, complete 1/6. First acceptance and a wildly fast turnaround compared to what I was expecting, especially since I'm a splitter. Stats in profile!

In as well. Over both 75ths. Very happy! Anyone accepted earlier know how long it typically takes to get the packet in the mail?

In as of 1.16, sorry for late notice. Above both 75ths, got the scholarship info a few days after the (missed) call.
The money's going to make it really hard to go elsewhere but I'm down with Boston in any case.

I am feeling very much ghosted by BU...
Splitter but way above 75th LSAT, hair below 25th GPA. Complete in October. MyLSN had me at 100% which I am increasingly sure is going to be inaccurate.

Literally same, Im also above 75th lsat and 25 GPA 50, and submitted early November, so I thought it would be pretty likely... I'm trying to decide if a "Why BU" would be helpful in any sort of movement on my app one way or the other. Did you write one?Jack_Kelly wrote:I am feeling very much ghosted by BU...

Re: Boston University C/O 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
They seem to be very GPA picky this cycle. I was at the 50th for GPA and below the 25th for LSAT and I was accepted relatively quickly. When I look at LSN they seem to be waitlisting/rejecting people with strong LSATs but lower than 50th GPAs.jellyjar wrote:Literally same, Im also above 75th lsat and 25 GPA 50, and submitted early November, so I thought it would be pretty likely...
