Hey guys! I'm considering applying to BU Early Decision next year. I'm fairly stressed about my chances. Can anyone provide info on their ED acceptance rate? Thanks in advance!
Hello! I understand that the college application process can be a bit nerve-wracking. For the class of 2028 admitted in December 2023, the ED acceptance rate was 34.1%. Although I don't have information on the RD acceptance rate for the class of 2028 yet, based on historical trends, it's safe to say that the ED acceptance rate is higher than that of the RD.
Applying Early Decision may give you a bit of an edge, as it demonstrates your commitment to the university and your genuine interest in attending. Make sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons of applying Early Decision, as it is a binding agreement, and if you're accepted, you'll be expected to enroll at BU and withdraw any other college applications.
Good luck with your application, and I hope this information helps alleviate some stress!
