Boston college 2023 early action thread

hey guys the bc early action decision release date is soon so just wanted to make this so we can all freak out together!!

FYI - On a separate thread, posters noted that Admissions sent out an email saying they would send ANOTHER email the week of 12/10 telling EA applicants when specifically the decisions will be released the week of 12/17.

BC just sent an email saying EA decisions will be emailed on the evening of dec 18

If your school has a history of students attending other schools after being admitted to BC, does that lessen your chances of acceptance?

@georgesmom I have often wondered that, too. Probably not much but I always feel like if recently kids have GONE there that got accepted it could help. Did anyone go from your school last year?

@collegemomjam No one from our state went last year. I believe 8 were excepted in 2017, but only 3 went.

My last post was confusing. 3 went to BC in 2016 from our state, no one in 2017. Our school hasn’t had a student attend since 2014. Notre Dame and Georgetown are more popular. BC is our favorite.

@georgesmom I don’t think they will hold it against you, honestly. And I love all three of those schools, too! I have one at BC and one at Georgetown. Both are very happy. Good luck!!

@collegemomjam Thank you. We are hoping for the best.
