I got an email from one of the directors of admission pretty much asking me what ive been up to since grad and if im still interested in BU. I sent a LOCI back and they said that they've added it to my file but that's about it. Then the same day they sent out the mass email saying they're gonna accept off the WL but im just wondering if anyone got anything bc it doesn't seem like it
ChiefComplexHammerHead
18:06
the email said the next few and maybe im trippin but its aboutta be friday and ive seen nothing
hungrycrocodile
9:22

hungrycrocodile
9:23

where are you planning on going right now
ChiefComplexHammerHead
10:49
No where unfortunately, I was planning on R&R and this gave me hope but I guess I got my hopes up for no reason
hungrycrocodile
14:41
I hear you
hungrycrocodile
14:41
I’m just surprised that no one really has posted about getting off their waitlist
ChiefComplexHammerHead
15:08
That’s what I’m confused about too? If they’re gonna be admitting off the WL or have been admitting, I feel like we would’ve heard something but it’s been crickets
ChiefComplexHammerHead
15:09
I tried calling their office but they closed 5 mins before I called 😂
hungrycrocodile
16:28
Damn
hungrycrocodile
16:28
I totally agree but we’ll see. They could just do it next week
hungrycrocodile
16:29
You riding out any other waitlists
ChiefComplexHammerHead
16:44
I’m on 11 WL’s 😂😂 anything from UF to Vandy/WashU
ChiefComplexHammerHead
16:44
I’m riding out for UF for sure, I think Vandy is full
ChiefComplexHammerHead
16:44
Wbu? Are u waiting on any WL’s or have you deposited anywhere else?
ChiefComplexHammerHead
16:45
Yeah they’ll probs do it early next week, there definitely wasn’t much movement this week
ChiefComplexHammerHead
16:45
Whats ur Reddit or something, we can message on there if you’d like

Is the move to go ED for your second choice if your first is a reach (at median GPA, under 25th LSAT by 2 pts)
letsseehowitgoesnow
11:27
would you go to the place you want to ED to if they gave you no scholarship?
21:05
Probably not.
letsseehowitgoesnow
11:51
then i wouldnt recommend EDing
letsseehowitgoesnow
11:51
unless they have a competitive scholarship
2:32
It's Boston College's scholarship option.
2:32
Basically BU is my number 1 but my stats are favored better for BC than BU and I'd really prefer to be in Boston.
2:32
Bc is my number 2
