Did any students receive an email today from BC letting them know their application was complete and was under review?

My son did. Trying to figure out if it went to everyone or if it means he’s being considered for the scholarship. I’m think it’s the first but would be nice if it was the second. Lol

I have a feeling everyone got the same letter as long as their application was complete.

My hope is December 1!!! I think I’m more nervous than my daughter. Haha

This appears to be a form letter (received the same one), anyone applying ED1 is being considered for scholarships as you met the scholarship deadline and your application is complete.
Guessing a 6pm Eastern December 1st notification for ED1 applicants (based on last years timing).
Did anyone applying ED1 NOT receive the email?
My daughter received the email. The email said: “Your admission decision will be available in your Applicant Status Portal in early December.” That could mean December 1st, as prior year’s ED1 decisions have some out the first Thursday in December. But since that first Thursday is so early, I’m also thinking it could be December 8th.

Does anyone know how many ED 1 apps BC received? Sometimes schools share that info (like in the student newspaper etc) sometimes not. i did some research and could not find anything. My D applied ED1 to another school, but will apply ED2 to BC if that doesn’t work out.

My son applied RD but met the Nov 1 deadline in order to be considered for Gabelli. But we have no idea how this works and he’s being very stingy with checking the portals of colleges he applied to and with sharing info with me. I’m so afraid he’s going to miss some vital info (he has in the past).
So I get on these threads to find out what’s going on! I realize he won’t get an admission decision in Dec like you all will but I thought it mentioned that he’d find out earlier if he was a semifinalist for the scholarship. Does anyone know how that works?
In past years, Gabelli candidates were notified in mid-January. Also, BC typically awards fewer than 20 (typically between 14 and 18) Gabellis. Last year, BC had about 40,500 total applicants.

I’m still wondering if decisions will come out this Thurs, 12/1. Thought it might be too early and they would push it to 12/8 instead. However, looks like decisions last year were released on Thurs, 12/2 so I guess this week isn’t too early! Hopefully they will send out a tweet or email on Monday to give us a heads up.

Yes, I’m aware of how small the number of awards they give. I researched heavily last year for colleges that met his criteria but also offered any merit aid. This one is a long shot for sure. It just worries me how nonchalant he is about this whole process. Thank you for the date info! I have a chart on our fridge I keep updating.

Hoping it’s your kid…won’t be mine 
Yep! I applied ED and waiting for results. Hopefully soon!
Any idea when decisions will come out?
The last two admissions cycles, ED1 decisions came out on the first Thursday in December.
