No, they only gave out 18 scholarships this year. I think they do meet need, however they define it.

84

they basically donā€™t have merit, only need based

85

does anyoneā€™s portal look different? When D logs in now, she has the option of going to her Agora Portal to BC Services. She can also search the collegeā€™s directory and we tried it and found some students we know there. Sheā€™s RD so no decision coming for a while so this seems odd. Sheā€™s also prompted to set up a BC email address but, when she uses her current password, it doesnā€™t work.

i always logged in through the agora portal so that has always been like that for me

Yep. Guess itā€™s nothing. Just thought it was odd but seems to be ā€œnormalā€. Many more weeks to wait for these decisionsā€¦

90

mine is doing the same thing. hopefully thatā€™s good news.

91

pretty sure they are only reviewing ed2 apps. right now

92

Iā€™m sure theyā€™ve read some RD apps. Many were sent by 11/1 for the merit deadline so had to be read by the time the merit awards announced their finalists which was early Jan.

Just tried and was able to get into Agora Portal too. I donā€™t think it means anything.

94

Can you tell us when you were notified that you were accepted last year?

95

Based on Instagram, I think BC notified 3/20

96

I got my decision letter in my email on 3/19 early afternoon. BC doesnā€™t have the portal thing I think so they just email you a pdf of your decision.

97

did everyone else get the email about your application being under review and decisions being released during the week of march 22?

yes just got it

same here. I like their transparency on the timeline, not like UT Austin.

Can you please advise if the complete financial package came with the admission letter?

101

@FeiXing When I got my admission letter there was a financial aid key access to check my fin aid package on my AGORA portal but since I hadnā€™t completed/submitted all of my files yet, mine was just empty. I submitted everything by 3/31 and around mid-April I got my full fin aid package and was all set.

My daughter received the same message-application complete and notification the week of March 22. Do you think this implies the financial aid documents are complete as well?

Hey all! Good luck with your decisions to BC! I just have one question: does BC consider Mid Year grades for RD? They just received mine yesterday, I hope it is not too late :confused:

Hi guys.
For people deferred from ED, how did you format your RD update? Also, around how long is it? I donā€™t want to write too much or too little!!
For reference, I did standard mla and wrote about 2 pages. Lmk if Iā€™m doing it wrong lolll
