Haha, not sure they should block it out like that. I was imagining much worse.

Thank you for sharing this!
I wasnāt able to apply by Nov 1st because I had an ED1 school at the time, so I donāt think Iāll be consideredā¦

Not that it matters now, but you could have applied RD by 11/1 to be considered for Gabelli with an ED1 app pending. My S23 considered doing that but was burnt from all his EA apps so couldnāt get the essays done in time.

yeah. Iām very grateful that my parents would pay for the full sticker price no questions asked, but I still wish I was able to be considered for the scholarship.
This wonāt help you, but it may help future applicants. You can apply to BC for regular decision, but submit your application by Nov. 1 in order to be considered for Gabelli. This works even if you have applied ED to another school, because applying RD (even if done early) does not violate ED contracts. Of course, you would have to pull the BC application if admitted to a binding ED school.

Thatās good to know- at least for future applicants- and for my younger brother as well to keep in mind.
I got rejected from Brown ED1, so had I applied RD originally, I probably couldāve rolled to ED2 anyways after the rejection.
My kid applied last year RD without test scores and got in.

Not just BC but all schools that are test-optional seem to aim about 40% of admitted students to be test-optional. Otherwise, they cannot claim to be test-optional.

I saw that Reddit post and was wondering the same thing as it seemed odd that no one here or on ZeeMee etc had mentioned anything about it. Thanks for the info, we can still hold out hope for now!

A new comment on that post says someone got an email indicating finalists would be notified today, Jan 20? But the original poster said he or she was notified several days ago. Strange.
