For BC specifically …
this year '16 - week of 3/13 (this is all we know for sure)
last year '15 - they gave a window of 3/18-23 (Wed-Mon) and emails came on Thursday 3/19/2015
year prior '14 - they heard on Monday 3/24

Did anyone else not receive the email that said application decisions will be emailed during the week of March 13th?

@Justwell I don’t think I did

neither did i

i didnt think i got the email but the information was included in the “your application is complete!” email

I didn’t get the email either, maybe EA applicants didn’t get it? But I went up to BC over the weekend and the admissions counselor confirmed that week.

when they say “the week of the march 13”, march 13 is a saturday…so that would technically mean that it would be anytime from the 7th-13th…or do they just mean the week following March 13th?

i would guess the week following March 13. so 14-20th

march 13 is a sunday… :slight_smile:

just got the email!!

what did it say? @justswell

oh just about decisions going out on week of March 13th lol I’m late to getting it

@alygally ,This is the BC DECISION thread. I can’t tell from your post so did you get a decision or did you think this was the ‘chance me’ thread??

@justswell was it different from the “your application is complete” email? Or was it just mentioned in that email too?

@ThatGirlCoder
I got this on the 29th: "Thank you for applying to Boston College. Your application is presently under review, and you may be assured of our thoughtful consideration of your credentials within the context of this year’s talented pool of candidates.

Admission decisions will be emailed during the week of March 13, so please check your email during that time."

I got mine on February 4th. I think it depends on when you submit your application.

Will we hear at the beginning of the week or would we possibly have to wait till the 20th?? BC is my number 1 choice so the wait is killing me

But BC’s application portal specifically states that all decions are mailed and that no e-mails will be sent. I am confused

I thought it only said admission decisions won’t be posted online, meaning on a portal, but they will be emailed
