Boston College Class of 2020 Regular Decision Thread

Waitlisted from NJ

Rejected! NJ sigh… It was probably my GPA and my midyear grades… this is my 2nd rejection after Northwestern… don’t know about the rest of my schools. Congrats and good luck to the rest of you guys! :slight_smile:

Are you guys getting the emails at like set times (ie 5:45, 6, 6:15 etc.) or at totally random ones (5:57, 6:03 etc.)?

If it’s helpful - I’m from Maryland and my last name starts with a D.

Waitlisted in NJ :frowning:

8%??? @SoulfuLemon

I second that…8%???

What is with these schools and sending out decisions in waves!

regardless, even 8% retention rate seems ridiculous haha

*yield

Accepted! 2120 SAT, I think my BC supplement was the best one written. International student.

It means only 8% of all the applicants accepted their seats at BC.

I’ll quote their PDF “However, with nearly 29,000 applications this year for 2,280 openings in the freshman class, competition for admission was extremely intense.”

@Ovni12 I got mine at 6 sharp! Didn’t know decisions were coming out today… sighhh
More about me:

Rejected
SAT: 2190
ACT: 33
GPA (probably what killed me): 3.6 W
EC (also very weak):

  • received presidential volunteer service award
  • volunteer orchestra
  • regional/allstate orchestra since 9th grade
  • editor in chief of online newspaper
  • leader of school orchestra
  • member of winning team relay for life (donated over $10,000)

yeah but they accepted a lot more than 2,280 probably because a lot of kids dont accept their spot

Whoops, never mind. They probably accept many more but they have 2,280 openings. My bad guys, good luck to you all!

It means that there were only 2,280 spots. BC accepts way more students than that to ensure they fill their class. It does not mean they have an 8% acceptance rate.

Accepted
international student
SAT 2160
GPA I am not sure how to calculate it cuz my school doesn’t but everything is in A range (Freshman~Junior yr) 2 Bs in senior year first semester

Accepted to the Honors Program from Ohio!! (Mine came at 6:36)

Rejected. Does that mean there will be rejections form the ivy’s too?
