**Boston College Class of 2021 RD Results Only**

@Emsmom1, no, it’s not a big deal. It would be junior year when they live off campus. Mine got four years of housing, and one chose to live off campus junior year with friends. Also, many go abroad for one or two semesters junior year and find this arrangement good. As for costs, it came out to be about the same, maybe even slightly less expensive, it depends on how many roommates there are and such factors. Seemed all were very anxious, however, to return to living on campus for senior year!

@collegecarla thanks for the info!

Wait- so it’s common for them to live off junior year and come back for senior year? And they can do that with the guaranteed three year housing? I assumed it had to be consecutive years they lived on campus.

Summer Activities: Work/schoolwork, mostly
Essays (rating 1-10, details): Common App: 9, very very personal/raw (subject confidential), worked through it for several months with numerous English teachers; BC Supplement: 6 honestly, very rushed and I thought it sucked

Recommendations (rating 1-10, details):
Teacher Rec #1: 10, from an English teacher who had me 10th grade and now, highlights so many qualities inside/outside of school, very good letter
Teacher Rec #2: 8/9, from sophomore year Euro teacher (first AP teacher), focuses mainly on academics
Counselor Rec: 7/8 I’m guessing, don’t know counselor well but I would assume they talked mostly about my rank/school stuff
Additional Rec: 8, from my VP – I am the only one in my school to have received a letter of rec from him and his position in the school system is honorable, talks a lot about academic achievement

Reflections:

Strengths: LOTS of leadership (Drum Major, Officer, President, etc.) and varied extracurriculars, very strong academic achievement, great success in a difficult course load both junior and senior years
Weaknesses: counselor rec, BC supplement
Why you think you were accepted/rejected/deferred? Very well-rounded (no real weaknesses in stats), great recs

General Comments: I have been accepted to the Honors College in CAS

Other schools you applied to and their decisions: Northeastern (accepted, honors college), Colby (accepted, presidential scholar), Williams College (accepted, Tyng Scholar), Tufts (awaiting), Harvard (awaiting), Yale (Deferred SCEA, now awaiting), Princeton (awaiting), Dartmouth (awaiting), Columbia (awaiting)

Yes, the way it’s usually done is the first two years on campus, junior year off campus, then back to living on campus for senior year. Senior year on campus is a great time for them.
