^ you sound super impressive and bc is missing out on a great student @gudetama22, i had a similar experience with notre dame this week so I feel you pain
Does anyone know when financial aid comes out?
Has there been a group chat created yet?
Deferred. Kinda upset and very nervous because BC was the easiest to get into of my next 5 schools Im applying to.
4.66 GPA
30 ACT
Lots of church (catholic and Protestant) volunteer work including VBS leader, church choir, CCD teacher; president of band, 11 year Girl Scout, VP of french club, part of a suicide awareness group that won a national business plan competition, first chair flute, Harvard summer band… and more activities that I couldn’t fit in
Also a ton of awards I couldn’t fit in
Great recs, 9 APs, all other classes are honors, 5 on APUSH and Lang, 4 on APES
@erh0812 Me too I’m in the same boat…
Nice you were accepted with a 27 act as my son who had a 33 was outright rejected. Tough to be a high achieving male these days.
@radoo1 I may have gotten a 27 on the act but my sat scores are pretty solid as are my gpa, ECs, essay, and recommendations. I consider myself to be high achieving as well 
only took the act once for haha
Anyone know typically when deferrals hear back? Do decisions come in waves like rolling admission? Curious
Deferrals hear back with regular decision applicants. Last year, regular decisions were released starting at around 5pm on March 17th.
Thank you! @Colleen8
Ugh I can’t wait until March

Does anyone know how to check for financial aid. I logged into the Agora portal, but under “My Services” I can’t find my financial aid.
Does anyone know the typical acceptance rate for deferrals?
Deffered!
Conditional financial aid will not be announced until at least lateJanuary if you submitted by Nov. 16th deadline…

Teacher Rec #1: AP US History and AP European History teacher. Writes stellar letter of recommendations 10/10

Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Honestly, I feel like my essays could’ve been stronger…
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I was accepted to the University of Alabama Honors Program (back up school). I applied to UChicago, Cornell, Syracuse, Elon, Wake Forest, USC, and American University and currently are waiting to hear back from them.
General Comments: Boston College wasn’t and isn’t my first choice but that didn’t lessen the sting of the rejection at all. I am still a little disappointed because its a great University and I would be happy to go there. I decided to post this because every thing I’ve read on this thread has been acceptances and deferrals. Good students don’t always get accepted everywhere!! Good luck to everyone and congratulations if you were accepted!!
Accepted
Arts & Science, 35ACT, 3.9UW/4.4 W, strong ECs, great Recs.
