<p>From Colorado too… you think it will take 6 days? </p>

<p>Upstate New York estimated Monday:(</p>

<p>I think someone said that everyone’s portal will change in about 4 days after the letters have been mailed. So if you haven’t gotten it by then, just look at your portal to see if you have anything asking for an enrollment deposit. </p>

<p>My estimated time says this Saturday. I’m in NYC, queens to be exact. </p>

<p>anyone think that MA kids might get it today :stuck_out_tongue: lol</p>

<p>@Beckett‌ not totally sure, but what happened with georgetown may have been a fluke. really hoping we hear by monday.</p>

<p>Still holding out hope for getting it by tomorrow in NJ… Maybe if the mailmen are really really dedicated. </p>

<p>Don’t forget that decisions will be online too! </p>

<p>@Living61‌ No decisions will be made available online. Only regular posted mail</p>

<p>@ocomea15‌ </p>

<p>They will not come online at all or it’ll just be several days/weeks after the snail mail is sent? I’ve heard different things and I’m not entirely sure yet. </p>

<p>@FriendlyNerd888‌ 3-4 days accepted students will see two additional tabs on there portal, P & F. This is were you pay your enrollment deposits. They will not appear for at least 3-4 days from now when BC think all students have received their decision in the mail. There will be no email telling your your admissions decision. It is best to just wait to get your letter</p>

<p>@FriendlyNerd888‌, the decisions won’t be available online. This means you won’t be able to log on and see an acceptance/deferral/rejection letter. All decision were sent by snail mail earlier today (around noon). However for those students who are accepted their online portal will change to show a link to pay the enrollment deposit. This change will happen about 4 days after the decisions are mailed.</p>

<p>Lol @ocomea15‌ beat me to it </p>

<p>I am in Miami and it says that I will receive on Monday :)</p>

<p>Apparently they got double the applications from last year?? That terrifies me. Can anyone here chance me? I’m a Hispanic/white female from NJ, 2260 SAT and 4.35 GPA W (5 AP and 12 honors classes) with some pretty good extracurriculars (I.e self publication, kickboxing, leadership roles, etc) and I think my essays were good. Everyone seems to be being deferred from everywhere with the huge spikes in applications to so many schools. BC is one of my top choices and I’m freaking out. Any idea what my chances are?</p>

<p>Losing Sanity I think you are a safe bet. Let us know and good luck! Those are great stats!</p>

<p>@LosingSanity‌ your stats are awesome!! What school did you apply to?</p>

<p>Devin hall (official BC account) posted on another thread that they mailed out the letters today at 12:30. I’m guessing the MA/surrounding area might hear tomorrow. Everywhere else, most like monday and on is my guess</p>
