<p>I was waitlisted as well, after being deferred EA. 2250 SAT, 34 ACT, 3.5 UW GPA.</p>
<p>I’m not going to add my name to the waitlist. There are other people who want it more than I do, and I’ve already been accepted to other schools I actually like better.</p>
<p>Good luck you all of you, wherever you end up! :)</p>

<p>2180 SAT/34 ACT/90 GPA</p>
<p>Waitlisted after being deferred EA.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars were decent, included alot of service hours.</p>
<p>I’ve already been accepted by two more selective schools so I was a little surprised not to get in, but oh well. I won’t be joining the list because I don’t want to take a spot from someone who really wants to go to BC. Best of luck to all of you.</p>
<p>BC is a great school from everything I’ve seen anad heard, most students would love to attend. Just out of curiosity what are the selectives you liked better than BC?</p>
<p>Notre Dame and Washington University in St. Louis. BC is definitely a great school and I would be more than happy to go there, but even if I got in it would still probably be my third choice.</p>
<p>For those of you who are waitlisted and want to go to BC; my s was waitlisted last year and got in and absolutely loves his BC experience. A recommendation for you is keep a dialogue going with the person who signed your waitlist letter. Don’t overdo it, just email and keep them informed of any new accomplishments from this point forward, ie: awards, grades, achievements. Make sure they know that you will take the spot if offered to you.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you.</p>
<p>COLMOM, thank u 4 ur advice, but how can I connect the person, her email address is not on the letter :P</p>
<p>Go to BC’s website, they will give you contact info for their personnel.</p>
<p>impal:</p>
<p>google is your friend. Try searching for ‘Tom Jones *.edu’ and it will probably pop up.</p>
<p>I got in, but I also know that 2,000 people are put on the waitlist from BC which is a ridiculous number since they also only accept 50-200 from the list each year… </p>
<p>good luck to u guys</p>
<p>i got waitlisted too serious bummer cause bc has been my top choice for as long as i can remember</p>
<p>so many people i know there though have gotten in off the waitlist so im still crossing my fingers!!!</p>
<p>The letter gives the number 2,000 for the waiting list. Is this the number of students who are offered a spot or the number of students predicted to accept a spot on the waiting list?</p>
<p>It is probably 2,000 that are given a spot. On my naviance it says that on average they receive about 31,000 apps and accept 8,000 students while they waitlist 2,000 and have 2,100 spots for the freshman class.</p>
<p>Dear theCaliKid : The acceptance numbers are closer to 7,000 given the increased yield which arrives at a freshman class size target of 2,250.</p>
<p>I was wait listed, but someone from my school with similar stats got in. c’est la vie… i went ahead and put my name on the list (i would still LOVE to go to BC, out of the 9 schools i applied to it seemed like the best fit for me). Does anyone know the percentage of people admitted off the waiting list?</p>
<p>Like BC said, they will probably be taking 50-200 students out of the 2,000 wl. It can go up or down depending on yield, but prob. not by how many accept wl spots.</p>
<p>if we DO get off the waitlist, can we still accept/deny or are we expected to attend BC?</p>
