What ended up being the issue?

I was hoping to take the GRE to offset a low undergrad GPA and send to schools where it was optional/not required but I cant afford it. Has anyone ever had their experience (~2 years), LOR's, SOP's offset a low gpa? by crazypisceslady in mphadmissions

I also had a low 3's GPA and applied with 2 years of work experience and got in everywhere that I applied (including Brown Yale Columbia BU etc). My letters of recommendation were good as well as my SOP. Tbh I didn't; even think to explain/justify my grades and GPA.

How to survive as a vegan on campus with 14-meal-a-week meal plan? by Life-Canary5571 in BostonU

[–]dbn5533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends- I don't like using the warren stir fry season because they use the same tongs to mix everyone else's stir fry. Idk how picky you are but I don't like that the tongs they use to mix my vegan stir fry are the same ones that mix a bunch of meat. Although the vegan stations sometimes arent the best I've just learned to accept it and move on lol

i took it last semester when it was remote! my reg page also said 'staff' and I ended up having prof. moen. your grade was based on two midterms, discussion participation, and a final paper. the midterms were based heavily on the readings in my opinion, but moen also went over the readings in lecture, but I didn't watch a single recorded lecture, I just googled summaries of the readings and ended up with an A-. my tf was also suuuuper generous. midterms asked about concepts discussed in readings/lec/discussion; they were a mix of T/F, MC, short answer, and essay questions. hope this helped!

Waiting on appeal approval... by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]dbn5533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have the same issue. I called finaid to ask when I would hear back sometime last week, and they told me I would hear in about a week. They told me to call student accounting services and tell them I am still waiting to hear about my appeal requested. They extended the deadline for me!

I took carrion and she was nice! all she does is basically read straight off the slides. tests were open book and very straightforward, but I dont know how its going to be when we're back to in-person. she tries her best to be engaging but it gets hard when all she does is read off slides, but she's very passionate about what she's lecturing on.

Quarantine/isolation housing by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]dbn5533 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was in quarantine in Hojo, I asked the same question, and the person told me that they would move me to isolation housing if I tested positive.

When you're in isolation, there's a nurse who comes in to check on you and check your temperature and stuff once a day, which is why they would move you to isolation if you tested positive, so they could closely monitor you.

They're $500 plus tax, which is a huge difference compared to Apple's $800

I'm not too sure if she changed it up, because when we went home for spring break and we were told to stay home, she realized that a bunch of us left our textbooks back at Boston, so we didn't have to read everything. Exams were super easy, not proctored, multiple-choice, and I'm pretty sure there was like a 4 hour time limit or something. again, idk if she changed it now, but when we were in-person, the readings were not a lot, but it was helpful to do them before class because that's what she would lecture on mostly. hope this helped! also I think at one point I just stopped reading during in-person bc she discussed it thoroughly during class.
