sounds like other ppl have gotten R emails so it seems like no. also in past threads ppl were saying majority of acceptances went out in march so there is still hope 🙏

yeah it seems students have said before that a lot of their peers were deferred and then accepted in march. holding hope!

 

[Yasuo23]

Deferred till March .. ohhh boy

 

[lbj019]

A with deans scholarship!

 

[madamemichaelscott]

oof deferred till march email...thought this was one of my best interviews lol, just shows that you can't ever depend on the vibes the interviewer gives you

 

[Ms.E8000]

Anyone know the deferral to A stats?

 

[medamind92]

OOS A through email! No call from interviewer before.

I’m a reapplicant who interviewed in Feb earlier this year and was waitlisted in March. To any future waitlisters or reapplicants reading this, feel free to dm me. I was devastated 9 months ago but crying happy tears today 😭

 

[deleted1176140]

Anyone know the deferral to A stats?

To add to this, are an equal volume of IIs sent during the second round as are sent during the first?

 

[skylinechili]

y'all think a letter of intent would move the needle on a deferral? lol
also this may just be crazy copium but anecdotally i also saw that theres more A movement in the spring vs winter so hang in there my fellow deferrees
congrats to everyone w As ! boston is an amazing school

I think that is true about the A movement. Also I am sure an LOI will mean something, even if only a bit.

 

[dracotarg]

A with deans scholarship!

edit: Also CONGRATULATIONS thats amazing!

 

[deleted1176140]

[lost_and_found]

Deferred club

 

[lulururu]

Another deferral email 😟 I will definitely send a LOI after the holidays

 

[stucco bubble]

Deferred also! Holding out hope for us in March

You know for sure?

 

[sure-bar]

You know for sure?

based on previous year's threads, yes

 

[madamemichaelscott]

so there were 0 post-II Rs? just A or deferred?

 

[suddy0613]

Deferred decision today! GL EVERYONE!

 

[Dr_Pediatrics]

Waitlisted today! GL EVERYONE!

Waitlist or defer?

 

[suddy0613]

Waitlist or defer?

Defer lol , although to me it seems to be more or less the same

 

[Dr_Pediatrics]

Defer lol , although to me it seems to be more or less the same

I don't think it is? They don't give out most of their acceptances until March, from what I thought?

 

[deleted1176140]

It’s not the same

 

[notanorthobro]

Deferred today, but I will be withdrawing soon. Good luck everyone and congratulations to those accepted!!

 

[lenap3]

Deferred

 

[osmanthus]

Deferred. All this waiting was pure psychological torture.

 

[adnwastaken]

+1 deferred, think I will be withdrawing relatively soon though so good luck to everyone
I've been saving myself from any waiting agony by working on my foreign languages

 

[enditallplease]

Deferred. All this waiting was pure psychological torture.

part II will come in mid-March, and it will somehow be even worse than this. but because everyone loves an encore, they will waitlist as opposed to reject. the bandage will be pulled very slowly and with much agony. such is life

 

[JarodLowe]

OOS A

Anecdotally, I'd say BU has some decent WL movement. I know quite a few people in my class got in off the WL.

Can you comment on deferral movement in March?

MSAR says 20 people which doesn't seem too good

 

[BUSM24Student]

20/150 something isn't too bad imo? Tho idk what other schools are doing in terms of WL to acceptance. That's like ~10% tho and then if you account for the people from linkage programs it's probably like 20/130 which I feel like is p solid?

Feel like most people got accepted in March which is why so many people get deferred. Allows them to have a good idea of numbers needed to make a class and have most applicants still available to decide on.

 

[mediocre_television]

Can you comment on deferral movement in March?

Most of the class is made up from the second round, there is a lot of movement from deferral applicants

 

[Dr_Pediatrics]

Any idea of what percentage of the class is filled with December admits?

 

[mediocre_television]

Any idea of what percentage of the class is filled with December admits?

No, only anecdotes that people have gotten in from deferral, there are no official numbers.

 

[kath00]

Just got deferred and withdrew. Best of luck to all!

 

[chicken495]

Does anyone know if letters of intent help move the needle for deferred applicants?

 

[omega8]

Does anyone know if letters of intent help move the needle for deferred applicants?

Not sure but I sent an elaborate LOI in November which I thought helped me get an A recently? Feel free to DM me for specifics on my LOI

 

[PreMedBot]

IS II now! So excited. Any advice/tips about the interview process at BU would be appreciated.

 

[blueberrypup]

Received an OOS II yesterday morning, and SO excited but SO nervous. Was complete 08/27.

 

[anxiouspremedstudent2001]

Hi!! Did anyone here who got accepted have a lower gpa but took diy classes? I know it’s fine since it’s a huge upward trend but there is still some stigma I feel like and I didn’t know how holistic BU is towards that!
