my application for BU has been completed mid-feb, when should i expect a decision
we have no idea, if you sort by decision you'll notice most of the people getting responses this week (aside from rejections) applied september/october
BU's been like molasses this cycle

are yall finding out via status checker or email
Got a voicemail this morning

Applied Sept 30th and still in one complete and paragraph there. Just want an answer at this point
I hope no one goes to BU i just feel like they are being so unfair to the applicants - some are going on 6 months with no answer that is awful
13:23
yeah just got waitlisted after 6 months when I applied ED Distinguished scholars to start
That is terrible I am so sorry! They do not deserve you at all
14:32
I know I just wish I didn't really like it when I visited :/
15:36
Idgi, watching folks get WL and R who have applied after me. Like are they really that on the fence about my 163?
