Is there anything I can do to increase my chances of getting off the waitlist other than a LOCI?

This info is on their website as quoted by Grant Gosselin, Undergrad Admissions Director -

“This level of interest in BC is certainly good news for any university or college, especially at a time like this,” said Gosselin of the 39,877 applications that BC received for the Class of 2025, representing a 36 percent increase over last year.

can someone share more information about the waitlist? how long is the waitlist usually, and how much has BC pulled from the waitlist in the past? im aware it’ll be very different this year (as everything regarding college admissions has been) but i’m still trying to look for a general idea of what it’s been like in past years

We did.

478

That doesn’t mean they only accepted 2300 kids. They likely accepted a lot more than that because not all accepted kids will enroll. I don’t want to throw out a number because I don’t know but they could have accepted four times that.

479

right? where
is it???

Boston College Waitlist 2025 I made a waitlisted thread in case anybody wants to talk on there!

481

Right below the welcome video. “Check you FA status” → “FA award notification”->enter access key
voilà!

482

Great point. The info about the number of applicants or number admitted was not included in the accepted students letter.

I was waitlisted, which I know is still an accomplishment, but BC was my dream school and I am absolutely devastated. Praying for a miracle

while every year is different, BC took plenty of kids from the waitlist last year. I wouldn’t lose all hope.

485

So you got FA info tonight? we did not.

486
