<p>My daughter applied to BC EA when she was a SR in highschool…was deferred, then waitlisted, denied…went to Conn Coll, tried to transfer, was waitlisted, sent them a letter stating she was no longer interested in BC (I mailed it so it did happen!) and she got accepted…It was not an easy transfer after all of that work…she had a 3.889 at Conn…she got a room in lower campus…but most BC kids were already in their own worlds & it took time to blend in…and she is outgoing, LAX club, tennis, worked out at the gym etc…she ended up in Boston a lot doing Big Sister with 2 young girls…until she got in synq…and of course all the BC sports finally…so just fyi not always easy…</p>
