Hope you all get that big envelope :slight_smile:

Wait there’s no difference in size of enevelopes right

The envelope thing is silly. Send the information via email - then work on signing letters and snail mail.

All people get regular business sized envelopes.

From the picture, the big envelopes are obviously acceptances. I’m not sure if they send out written rejection letters or if you just find out from the email?

Wait, maybe not
sorry. I think big if you are accepted, but you will get an email first.

i wish they would send out the email tonight

not happening. “Second half of the week”. It won’t be before Thursday. I’m betting Thursday is the big day for BC and many other EA schools.

12-15 would make sense; “Beware the ides of December[sup]*[/sup]”

But technically, doesn’t the 2nd half of the week start on 12P.M. Wednesday.

[sup]*[/sup]Fours years of Latin; yes the ides of December was probably the 13th

Yeah that’s what I thought, I don’t know for sure. You will know if you’re accepted/rejected/deferred via email before you get the envelope in the mail. I wish you guys the best of luck! So so nervous.

Im so nervous!! My test score is mediocre, but I emailed them about a week ago letting them know I was elected class president, and they said they added it to my file! Hopefully this helps me out (im praying)!!!

Does anyone know how heavily BC looks at extracurriculars/leadership?

Good luck everyone, I hope you all receive good news!!

@jjohnross I think class president is huge!! Definitely will strengthen your app! I think they look at applications holistically.

@collegemomjam thank you very much! hopefully they do :slight_smile:

Really banking on BC here. Just got rejected straight up by Notre Dame EA. My essays were crap for ND though. Would really really like BC acceptance to boost my confidence a bit. Hopefully it was just my essays that killed me at ND. Getting nervous. Good luck to everyone!

@Hickey everything happens for a reason - if your stats are good and you put a lot of good effort into your BC essays then you should have a good chance! Don’t beat yourself up over a rejection, it happens to all of us. Good luck!!

I got rejected from ND too. Granted it was my second choice (BC is first by far) but I was really hoping to have it as an option in case I didn’t get into BC. It definitely makes me extra nervous for my BC decision :frowning:

did anyone see the BC admissions tweet? i feel like the emails will come on friday

yeah, really hoping they’ll come out on Thursday tho, I can’t handle the wait

I think Thursday because I think they would prefer to release them in the afternoon, as opposed to Friday morning before kids or while kids are at school. But it probably depends on if they are done or not. I’m sure they are trying!

Very nervous! BC and Georgetown are tied for my #1 and Georgetown isn’t looking good(11% acceptance rate). A BC acceptance would be amazing and such a relief going into Christmas break.
