<p>what is the typical yeild percantage and waitlist acceptance rate of bc? do you think today’s economy will decrase the yeild/increase the waitlist acceptance especially because of the limited aid bc offers?</p>
<p>Do not know the exact yield rate…thought I read somewhere that a few years ago BC accepted like 3800 kids to yield ~2300. My D was waitlisted by BC…but their Waitlist is a joke…they offer WL to 2000! Ridiculous, anyway, good luck to you.</p>
<p>The typical wait list acceptance for BC is about 250 out of 2-3 thousand students. </p>
<p>I agree with Getty, their WL is ridiculous.</p>
<p>Their waitlist letter says in recent years, they have enrolled between 50 and 300 students from an active waiting list of about 2000. That’s anywhere from a 2.5% chance to a 15% chance of getting in off the waitlist…ugh not good chances.</p>
<p>Ah crap I asked this question in another thread, didn’t see this. Woops!</p>
<p>Personally, I think there would definitely be less yield and acceptance onto the waitlist. I mean, I’m picking to enroll in a state school because of the economy, and I will shoulder the burden of the price of BC if I happen to get off the waitlist. Plus I figure if much fewer kids decide to enroll, I could probably negotiate my aid a little more with them.</p>
<p>Dear sportgirl234, SBtester and all : Last year, BC attracted 31,000 applications, provided slightly over 7,000 acceptances and enrolled a class of approximately 2,250. (The yield has been in the 30-35% range for the last several years.) This year, the acceptance pool was slightly expanded, an acknowledgement of the current economic cycle (more acceptances might turn down enrollment based on tuition/fees).</p>
<p>BC does waitlist a lot of people, but their percent acceptance off the waitlist is higher than most schools its level where they waitlist 900 people and accept 30.</p>
<p>Dear sportgirl1234, i m waitlisted by BC too but i don’t think it has anything to with fin aid cause i m an international student and i m not applying for fin aid, which means i am just not outstanding enough…heartbroken…</p>
<p>Not to confuse things further but…</p>
<p>Does anyone know the % of students who accept waitlisted status?</p>
<p>2000 may be offered waitlist but if only 200 chose to accept the status then your chances of coming off the list are dramatically different.</p>
<p>i hope not too many vince</p>
<p>Haha we’re all thinking that</p>
<p>This is depressing. I was waitlisted at BC too and it was shocking to hear them say that the waitlist contained 2000 students. Still, if I get in, I’m definitely going.</p>
