gfl212 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi all, I just heard back from BU today, and the decision letter said: "After reviewing your credentials, we have determined that we are unable to make an admission decision at this time. We therefore have decided to hold your application, which will be reviewed again no later than April 30th. Please note that you may receive notification of your admission status earlier than that date." Has anyone else heard back, or does anyone know about BU's process? I am very confused. Does that mean I am wait listed? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HigherEd2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 That sounds like waitlisted to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickCassidy Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 @Gfl212 I actually got the exact same thing today. I called Admissions because I thought it meant wait list but the lady told me it doesn't mean wait list and it doesn't mean acceptance. The decision is exactly how it sounds, they will review it once again at a later date and let us know by April 30th. I think they're waiting for the next round of applications since we did early admission and they will weigh our applications against the others. I am guessing they didn't deem us admissible right away and are going to wait and see if there is better candidates. gfl212 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize any schools really did rounds in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiki123 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hello. That does sound confusing. I also applied to BU by the earliest admissions deadline and have not heard back as of yet. If you don't mind me asking, how were you notified? Was it through mail or e-mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking, how were you notified? Was it through mail or e-mail? I got an email telling me my decision was available in my online application. So I logged into my application, and there was a link to a PDF of the letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that makes me feel better-ish, but I still feel like that's the same thing as a wait list. Oh well, it's better than a rejection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Bound Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I got the same thing today.... UGH, whatever h Hi all, I just heard back from BU today, and the decision letter said: "After reviewing your credentials, we have determined that we are unable to make an admission decision at this time. We therefore have decided to hold your application, which will be reviewed again no later than April 30th.

HopefulMSW Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I also applied to BU for the early admission deadline, but haven't heard from them yet. Has anyone received an acceptance from BU?? I know they said we would hear back before or on March 3, but waiting is killing me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
