Hey everyone! I'm just curious, what does the Boston University acceptance package look like? Like, do you receive a physical package in the mail, or is it all just emails? Any details would be awesome! Thanks!
Hey there! Congrats on your interest in Boston University. When BU sends out acceptance decisions, they primarily notify applicants through their online applicant portal. You'll receive an email prompting you to check the portal for your decision. Once you log in, you'll see your decision—hopefully an acceptance letter!
If you are denied or waitlisted, you likely won’t receive anything physical in the main, but if you are accepted you often do receive a package including a congratulatory letter, a brochure or pamphlet highlighting aspects of the university, and sometimes fun items like stickers or decals representing BU. It's a nice way to celebrate your acceptance and to welcome you into the BU community.
Keep in mind, the delivery of the acceptance package—if there is one—might take some time, since it depends on your location and how busy the admissions office is with sending out decisions. Don't be too worried if you haven't received anything in the mail shortly after getting your online acceptance—it might just be delayed.
Wishing you the best of luck with your application to BU!
