waitlisted, please, please just kill me
I wondered the same thing. the invite to the Honors program is in this letter or do we hear later?
During the EA round, the Honors invite was included in the acceptance letter.
I got wait listed 
2200 SAT
32 ACT composite
3.98 UW GPA
Have taken almost all honors/AP classes throughout HS
Good ECs, recs
What are my chances of getting accepted off the waitlist?? I really wanna go there
Denied lol
@ConfusedMominMA I have extremely similar stats to your daughter and received waitlists from BC & Nova too! I will also be enrolling at a state school (Penn State). Best of luck to her next year and good luck if she’s accepting spots on waitlists!
@kikijet My invitation to the Honors Program was in my acceptance letter.
:((
We didn’t know anyone. We have financial need. We are coming from an oversaturated area (10 miles from Chestnutt Hill) .We are not even religious (and it showed in the essays). I believe the essays and letters of recommendation are what got my D in. It could have gone either way.
(Also, the knowing someone-- no doubt this is true for some. But it isn’t applicable in the vast majority of admits.)
@smartley- Don’t give up hope. BC will go to their waitlist after the May first dead line. It is best to send a letter to BC letting them know your continued interest in BC and keeping them updated on any recent awards. Good luck!!!
Accepted to CAS! 
1850 SAT
3.95 UW GPA
Good essays and recs, studying abroad in Guatemala.
Super excited to have gotten in! Goes to show that test scores aren’t everything!
Accepted to CAS as a physics major
4.05 weighted, 3.85ish unweighted
1990 SAT
Extracurriculars were a few clubs, skateboarding since 5th grade and eventually becoming a counselor at a local skateboard camp
Didn’t read my recs but I assume they were good; i’m really close with both of the teachers.
I thought my essays were pretty good, wrote the supplement on my favorite carl sagan book
Couldn’t be more excited!!
Perhaps its time to learn a little humility, particularly as others are hurting?
(But just to burst your bubble, perhaps as a person of color, you have a certain something that BC is seeking; the Ivies, not so much.)
@bluebayou thanks for saying what we were all thinking. And, um, those ivies have a pretty low acceptance rate (less than 5% RD?) so this person may very well end up at BC or the like. Hope her attitude changes by then.
I mean she’s probably just excited, and may be she is super smart and amazing on academics, don’t be too harsh. I don’t think she understands our culture tho
@bluebayou @collegemomjam lol you know like two pieces of information about this person and you think she only got in because of her race? #jealous. if she’s not surprised then good for her because she obviously accomplished a lot in high school. she was judging herself, no one else. and that is HER right! i love it when random people on the internet try to “better” each other.
Agree, as far as I know, asians are harder to get into any good universities since they have so many competitors, and each university, despite what they say ostensibly, still take a small portion of asians every year. They have to work twice as hard to have the same chance of getting admitted
@zicyzicy what…what does that even mean?? I’m assuming by “our culture” you mean American culture. It’s pretty offensive of you to assume that just because she’s Asian, she doesn’t understand American culture. There’s no indication anywhere that she’s an international student. Furthermore, humility is not unique to Americans.
OK, everyone, I agree it’s possible that the “Asian Female” didn’t realize how she was coming across, but her choice of words took some of us by surprise. And as for #jealous my D was accepted to CSOM in December so no jealousy on our part @elenuhm9, not sure why you would have jumped to that. And for the record, I never assumed she was foreign. I do agree that it is a lot harder for Asians, particularly Asian Americans, to get into college these days and I’m not sure I think that is fair at all. This is one of the reasons I was personally surprised that she was “not surprised” by her acceptance. There are quite a few people on this thread that have amazing stats that did not get in. I’m sure there will be quite a few “Ivy Rejects” at BC this year or perhaps even some students that got into Ivies and still chose BC.
