Boston College Early Action 2022 Thread

So it says they’ve received my FAFSA & CSS but that they want a copy of my parents’ tax return…will that affect their admission decision?

I don’t know what effect it would have on admissions decisions, but I do know that they asked for all financial aid document to be mailed by Nov. 15.

I’m sure you could called the Fin. Aid Office though.

@aleg I don’t think it means anything if the financial status is there because all applicants who submitted it will have a financial aid tab.

@bigchoices2018 mine says the same thing. I have heard you don’t send this additional form in unless you’re accepted. I wouldn’t think it would affect their decision. I have read about this on past threads, and those forms aren’t due until February. Hope that’s right since I’m missing the same forms.

thanks @bonanox82

@aleg I hope you’re right!

@bigchoices2018 makes me nervous. This is one of my top choices, and I loved it there this past summer.

@aleg me too!!! I loved BC so I’m hoping that this isn’t an issue!!! I will call on Monday to double check!!

How do we know that decisions will be released on the 14th? On my portal, it just says by the 25th.

@pbmcdoug they sent an email last week saying it would be the 14th

An e-mail said that decisions would be emailed on the 14th. The portal says decisions will be mailed (I assume they mean physically mailed) by Christmas, so I guess that’s just a confirmation of your decision.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Thanks!

I didn’t send my parent’s tax returns either but I did send the FAFSA and the CSS profile by November 15th. Just double checking, do they need a copy of your tax returns as well as the FAFSA and CSS to give financial aid?

Also it doesn’t say anywhere on my portal that they received any financial aid documents - should I be worried?

@lrose00 there’s a link on post #73 on this thread that should help

i didn’t get my eagle id yet but i’ve seen a lot of posts with people saying they were logged into their portal… should i call the admissions office for my id or should i wait for the email to come? thanks everyone and good luck to all~

@ale410 Did you get any kind of email from BC after you applied? Did you check your spam? You should have been given an Eagle ID by now.

@collegemomjam i did get an email saying they got my application but that’s about it …

@ale410 I just went and looked at my daughter’s emails from last year. The day she applied to BC EA she got an email with the subject line “Early Action at Boston College”, then the next day she got and email that said “Thank you for your Boston College Application”. The second one had instructions on how to access the portal which included her Eagle ID. Not sure if that’s how it happened this year, but thought I’d try to help you figure it out. Did you get those same two emails?

@collegemomjam i did receive two emails, one with the subject line “Early Action at Boston College” and the other with the subject line “Your Application is complete.” The second email just thanks me for applying and states that decisions will be sent on 12/14 but nothing about my portal… i did call them awhile back when i first submitted my app and didn’t receive an email and the admissions office did express confusion on why i didnt receive a confirmation email yet! ill be sure to call them on Monday just in case! thank you for your help ~
