<p>this is very upseting, i do not feel like applying anywhere else after my defferal...and to be honest, ive never heard of anyone getting accepted anywhere after being deffered, soooo ummmm not good</p>

<p>jackbauer--Well, I think everyone who got deferred is disappointed. For me, BC wasn't just my favorite college, but no other college even held a candle to it. But I think I was just on the cusp of being accepted/deferred, so I'm still hoping for the best. </p>

<p>And if all you do is complain about it, you'll go nowhere fast. So get over it. Sucks, but that's what we have to do while we're waiting to hear back from BC in April.</p>

<p>being deferred sucks....i didn't think i would care that much but seeing other people get into schools makes it that much worse</p>

<p>yea people definitely got rejected from EA this round. someone from my school did. </p>

<p>and another girl from my school last year got in after being deferred, so that's possible too.</p>

<p>i have also heard that BC does have a thing for rejecting really qualified applicants</p>

comments: very excited! congrats everyone!</p>

<p>A comment for ludaraspat--why does it suck if you get deferred and don't want to go there? Saw your comment on Villanova and you got in there and don't want to go there either. Is applying to colleges a sport now?</p>

<p>no flyboy. i wrote "prob not" because i dont think im going to get in RD. I do want to go to BC. I applied to Villanova as a safety, have gotten in, but doubt I will be attending, because I think I stand a good shot at some other schools. Applying isn't a game. I would go to villanova as a last resort (i.e. safety) and would attend BC over almost any other school if accepted. sorry to confuse any1</p>
