The only reliable source I could find on Boston University’s class of 2027 acceptance rate was from the admissions consultant IvyWise, who reports that they received their figure of “10.7%” via email.
N.B. I found an article from BU themselves detailing early admissions data, but nothing from the RD round. https://www.bu.edu/articles/2023/class-of-2027/
