<p>hey, for waitlisted and rejected people---
does your agora status check have enrollment information? I haven't heard from BC yet and mine has options to enroll, withdraw, or defer enrollment.. I called BC and they said that it doesn't mean anything but so far, everyone who has gotten in has it, and everyone who hasn't does not. if anyone could let me know that would be great because I AM FREAKING OUT thanks you guys, and good luck</p>

<p>Today sucks. I got waitlisted here, rejected from UC Berkeley, and I can't afford to go to NYU. I guess I can kiss Columbia goodbye, too. =/</p>

<p>

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. My stats, compared to some of the other applicants, are not that good, but somehow BC put me in Carroll Honors (I heard only 30-35 kids get in). Pretty damn cool, but color me surprised.</p>

<p>I'm getting worried that I didn't get a letter yet...</p>
