Boston College Transfer Thread [Fall 2018]

Also I sincerely apologize if any of my comments seem overly long/seem like spam to this thread. I’m just incredibly nervous–not a lot of people at my school know I’m transferring, so this thread is kind of like my outlet for the nerves and all that, since everyone’s kinda in the same boat and can understand, haha.

@MsRazzleDazzle Ah I totally feel you about the nerves thing… At least it looks like the end is in sight! I’m so relieved they aren’t doing it in waves too!! Most of the schools I’ve been waiting on seem like they are going to be releasing decisions this week and next week and it’s utterly terrifying to say the least :((

@avocadough Ahh that sucks, I’m sorry!! Yeah, I thought rolling decisions were great, until you realize that you NEVER know when you could get a decision and you end up stressing for ages >~< But you’re right, at least our end is hopefully in sight–even if it’s not this week, we should know by May 20 the latest according to their website :smiley:

@MsRazzleDazzle I thought waiting for college decisions as a senior in high school was painful but waiting for transfer decisions is a whole other beast… feels downright cruel to have to wait this long :(( Hoping they surprise us and release them soon

@avocadough Ugh I know right! Like at least freshman admissions we received decisions within a decent amount of time. Plus trying to juggle all these deadlines–it’s a legit nightmare >_<

@MsRazzleDazzle Exactly! And we knew what specific day to expect freshman admission decisions so I could mentally prepare :frowning: Now it’s impossible to even focus on my finals!!

@avocadough Same! I have my last two finals on Thursday, literally RIGHT UP TO 4:30–a half hour before results are set to come out. I’m freaking out >_<

Do we even know for sure when they come out? Whenever I call they say third week of may.

I called them this morning, and they said the latest would be earlier next week.

@xxxxxxwk I see. Let’s hope that we’re gonna get it this week!

@xxxxxxwk I literally made a pterodactyl-esque noise upon reading your comment and proceeded to die internally. Great news that we’ll hear soon, but the stress may very well keep me from my finals and from living in general XD

Also, this could just be me but BC typically releases at the end of the week–they did for EA when I applied as a freshman and I think they did the same thing for RD the same year. Last year they sent out decisions Thursday, so I guess fingers crossed that they stick to tradition?

@MsRazzleDazzle Awww nooo :(( It’s adding so much stress that I can’t even articulate to my friends here omg but if they come out Thursday that would be so great!!! Just a couple more days then :slight_smile:

Yup! @avocadough I legit have a countdown on my computer (look away if you don’t wanna see it lol): 2 days, 0 hours, 37 minutes, 15 seconds XD

uGH THE WAIT THO

This wait is painstaking. Especially when other schools deposit deadlines are right around the corner…

Does anyone know how much time BC give to commit? The deposit is $500 right?

Does BC mail all decisions or will they be online???

@darkhound173 I think somebody said they email decisions, but I’m not 100% sure

BC emails decisions, they don’t post online.

So are we expecting decisions May 11?
