Boston University Admissions: Rolling or Not?

I'm considering applying to Boston University, but I'm a bit confused about their admission process. Can someone please clarify if BU has a rolling admission policy or if they have specific application deadlines instead?

9 months ago

Boston University does not use a rolling admission policy. Instead, they have specific application deadlines that you will need to adhere to. For freshman applicants, BU offers three application deadlines: Early Decision I (ED I), Early Decision II (ED II), and Regular Decision (RD).

For the 2022-2023 academic year, the deadlines are as follows:

1. Early Decision I: November 1

2. Early Decision II: January 1

3. Regular Decision: January 1

Keep in mind that applying through an Early Decision plan (either ED I or ED II) is a binding commitment, meaning that if you're accepted, you agree to enroll at BU and withdraw any other college applications. If you're not sure whether BU is your top choice, you might want to consider applying through Regular Decision, which does not include a binding commitment.

You can find more information about Boston University's application deadlines and admission process on their official website. Good luck with your application!
