Boston University School of Social Work

[JoeyB]

Has anyone applied to the Boston University Off Campus Program and received a decision yet? It seems that they are extremely disorganized and keep changing their policies. Initially, I was told that applications submitted prior to the March 1st deadline would receive an admission decision by the first week in April. When I followed up this week, i was told that I would hear from them by April 30th at the latest. I submitted my application mid February and never did receive an email stating that my packet was complete. Confirming that all my materials were received involved 3-4 phonecalls at least. My emails to the admission office are never returned. I am beginning to wonder what the story is with the BU School of Social Work. The whole process has been extremely disappointing!!!!

Hey I am in the same boat as you and I know many others... first they sent an email saying they were going to push back decisions due to the large number of applicants... then on top of that they had computer difficulties with a new system and extended the deadline for applications till April... sooo now I am sure they have WAY more people than they thought... I am still waiting to hear and I only just got an email today saying they would let me know by the end of the month...

here are some other people who have been discussing this...
