Hi, I wanted some advice. I am planning on applying in the next cycle. I am a CDA, I have a GPA of 3.60, NBDE-Pass, Toefl 110. What are my chances of getting a interview, or acceptance. I am currently studying to take NBDE Part II.

Hi jayc21,
Congrats for an interview invite.
Well I do have almost similar profile to yours - Master's from India, NBDE part 1 & 2, publication, award, community work experience and volunteer assiatantship here for 6 months. Only thing scare me is my Toefl score which is unfortunately not in 3 digits (97). I recently applied to Boston and Colorado and crossing my fingers to get an interview call.
Could please tell me how much did you scored in Toefl? That will really help me to decide what are my chances?

Hi, heartiest congratulations for the call from BU. Did you get the under-review and i.v call as one email, or two separate emails. Your reply will show some hope for aspirants like me who is waiting for some relief and hope.

Are they still sending interviews or already on holiday?
 
Hi Jay,

My GPA is actually pretty low 3.38 in UG and PG
 
How much does the program plus living expenses cost.. General ballpark idea.. I thought it'll be around 200,000 k for Boston. Now I'm wondering if it will be more... Also if I have a cosigner, can that person cosign for the entire loan for the full two years?
 
hey jayc21,
congrats.I am a bit confused, I checked their website and it says the first sem ended on dec 13. So i assumed thats when the holidays started. But you got your invite on dec 18?Am I wrong in assuming that the college closed down? Can anyone clarify please?

I think semester/classes ending and admin staff/office closing are two different things. As far as I know admin staff don't have the same holidays as students. They stay open like most work places and have national holidays off. They may have a mandatory shut down from Xmas to New Years though...

There are few who applied in dec and got interviews...I feel it depends on your profile....if ts way too good...they will immediately select u..

Thank you for replying. I applied in the middle of december and think I would have had a fair shot if I applied earlier..I have part 1, good gpa, toeffl well over 100, and research, and some US experience but I just think it's too late.

Do you guys know anyone PERSONALLY who got even an interview applying this late?

And what exactly does the under review email say? I got an email that said:
Applications are reviewed multiple times throughout the admissions cycle. An applicant may be invited for an interview at any point throughout the cycle. Interviews will be held between mid-October through February, although interviews may be held outside of this time frame. Therefore, your file will remain active until you are informed otherwise. Because applications are reviewed throughout the year, those who apply early will not necessarily hear of their final status earlier than other applicants.
This was in my supplemental application complete and fees reveived email. I'm guessing the under review email is different right?
 
Yes this s supplemental application....dnt worry...ur profile is good...u cant say anything..they might call u...depends on how they are callin and how many seats are left ...
till now havnt heard anybody getting any call s in jan after they opend ...may b they wil start soon
