BC Agora "Tabs" and EA candidates

<p>First of all, I wouldn’t assume you are going to get the “Pay Enrollment” tab just because you have BC as a safety.
Second, I believe that BC changed the portal so that it no longer has that tab until all letters have been recieved… someone posted this on an earlier threat.
Rejection/Acceptance letters are being sent out Friday.</p>

<p>I have heard that BC notified all deferred students today. Did anyone else hear this?</p>

<p>My S got an email this morning. He got deferred.</p>

<p>Do they automatically defer the ones that are not accepted this round?</p>

<p>I also heard that the “tabs” thing had been disabled due to all the people who called last year.
Collegeproject:I assume that they sent your son an email notification of his deferal in order to save paper/postal fees-they’ll have to send him a letter in the next round, so it’s senseless to spend the extra money to notify him that they’ll send him another letter. </p>

<p>Can anyone 100% confirm that they’re sending the letters on Friday?</p>

<p>Yes there’s a link in the page from the agora portal home page. There was an official announcement last week that it would be sent the 14th</p>

<p>Thank you!! I’m so excited! Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>I still haven’t seen a change in portal yet!</p>

<p>Damond3: I recently read on another post that the “mistake” that allowed for the tabs to change before applicants received their letters was fixed last year due to the number of people who called and asked about it. I wouldn’t worry if you didn’t see a change; so far the only thing “online” concerning BC admissions is an email to deferred applicants. If you didn’t get that, the only thing left to do is wait for the mail-letters go out Friday December 14! Good luck</p>

<p>Swingerofbirches: Thank you! Even as a safety, this is still stressful, and kind of exciting! I guess we will have to wait just a bit longer, then!</p>

<p>I just noticed that there is no longer an “E” section in my portal. I’m pretty sure the last time I checked (early this morning) that it was ACDE, not it is just ACD. Anyone else?</p>

<p>EDIT: The reason this is like this, I’m assuming, is “Email Services” is no longer clickable as it was before. Not sure for the reasoning behind this.</p>

<p>I think everyone has that @17johnd.</p>

<p>Ok. Just checking. Im antsy…</p>

<p>@17jond
I still have the E and email services option on mine. Not sure what this means, but from what I’ve read from more experienced folk on this topic, the agora gets a little buggy at night while it’s updating, so who knows what the absence of E for you means.</p>

<p>Also from what i’ve read, people are saying that last year the tabs didn’t change until the letters were sent, does this mean they might change today when the admissions folks mail out the decisions?</p>

<p>can we get a comparison between the people who lost their Es?</p>

<p>I still have my E tab (and no deffer this Monday) :</p>

<p>3.5UW 3.9W GPA
2010 SAT.
Great Ecs and essays I’m assuming – varsity athlete, musician, ect…</p>

<p>Still have my E</p>

<p>3.4UW at a prep school with no grade inflation
2010 SAT
good ECs, good essays, good recs, founder of debate club, MUN deligate, newspaper editor, legacy student many times over (come from huge BC family)
no deferral monday</p>

<p>My DS has a E tab. Not sure that means anything.</p>

<p>4.1W GPA
35 ACT
no deferral Monday</p>

<p>I really don’t think the loss of the E means anything. At one point when I first got my portal, I actually didn’t have an A tab, it started with B. A week later, the A appeared and everything was fine. I really think its just a result of BCs older system, you know? </p>

<p>That beig said, I still have my E. I have a 102 avg, full IB diploma, 2140 SAT, great teacher recs, a phenomenal rec from my principal, essays I’m really proud of, and more ECs than I can realistically list here
Plus, no deferral email on Monday</p>

<p>Guys the E only disappears after midnight EST</p>

<p>HI! I just got the acceptance letter (CAS, Early Action), like an hour ago!
So excited!!!
I received it through mail only and not email. I guess deferred decisions are delivered through emails and acceptance/rejection letter comes through mail?
My letter says “website for admitted student services will be available beginning December 18th”.</p>

<p>I don’t have the ’ E tab’ but i don’t remember if i even had it before.
What does E stand for anyway?</p>

<p>Check your E tab you probably have it now, it just disappears for a certain period over night</p>
