Admitted Waitlisted Kids from Last Year

<p>Hey
Anyone know anyone that was admitted and was waitlisted last year? College Powler says that BC waitlisted 5000 kids last year and accepted 2000 kids with about 250 kids attending. Anyone got stats or details? Just wanted to check out the credentials of those who got accepted from the waitlist (im shaking!).</p>

<p>accepted 2000 kids from the waitlist!!! You got to be kidding me! Who told you that ridiculous statistic?</p>

<p>Check out Boston College: Off the Record (College *******) at amazon.com check the "view inside" page and check the 5th page.. i was amazed too</p>

<p>the entire freshman class is only 2,250 students.</p>

<p>thats obviously not correct</p>

<p>rye dude not everyone admitted off of the waitlist attends the school</p>

<p>That's bull crap, but college ******* really messed up with the data. The freshmen class is ony 2,250 and since they already get 2208 student planning to go, why on earth would they accept 2000 students from the waitling list? They only need 48. At best they accepted 200 from WL and 50 choosed to go. I know the people who work at Admission Office, they don't lack common sense to admit 2000 for 48 spots.</p>

<p>Another thing I find ridiculous is that 200 from the waitlist chosed to come for only 48 spots. BC is scarce in housing, most students get only 3 years of housing and the school is trying to build more dorm. Where on earth are they going to put the extra 152 students?</p>

<p>not to mention the fact that the waitlist letter from BC states that 1,500 were waitlisted.</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>true true.. sorry I was just checking out some of those books and jumped at the number.. I was really hoping that I can get into BC on the waitlist i guess.. sry i was getting desperate and i was freaking out dat it was dat great of a percentile.. o well I guess babson here i come lol</p>

<p>i hear ya, 2000/5000 wouldve been made my day too but oh well.</p>
