<p>vman why do you say that you arent going "anymore"</p>
<p>and same for pongo also. why are you probably not going?</p>
<p>well i don't imagine i'd get enough financial aid. some of my schools have given me really nice packages, and i don't know how i'm going to afford the price tag. we'll see.</p>
<p>true. the same goes for me. hopefully the financial will pull through though. id really love to go here. and if not, i've still got plenty of other wonderful schools to fall back upon. good luck.</p>
<p>i was considering going to the accepted eagle day...(on april 8) but i heard that it's a tour and you just hear from professors from different subjects speak and stuff....</p>
<p>I have a 5k on that day, and it seems like most of it is reviewing information that I learned on the tour pretty recently (a few weeks ago).</p>

<p>i applied uconn EA, and got in..i figured i should apply to bc, its an awesome school, and i would go there instead of uconn..
but i also applied for the day of pride scholarship (full ride) at uconn, i found out in feb. that i got that..then a few days later, i find out i got into the honors program..</p>
<p>so for me, uconn honors program complelty FREE > BC at $40,000+ a year..(forgot to send in the tac return, so i got no financial aid)</p>
<p>but hey, if u guys have the money, go for it, my sis loved it there..</p>

<p>My D. just got an envelope, little, parents are not allowed to open, does acceptance come in reg size 10, or larger envelope? How about wait list?</p>
<p>my acceptance was in a large envelope.</p>
<p>i've heard that waitlist is small, but thick</p>
<p>denial, small and thin</p>
<p>acceptance=BIGBIGBIG</p>
<p>waitlist would feel a little thicker than a single piece of paper because it would have a little card in it</p>

<p>Location/Person:
State or Country: New York
School Type: Catholic, highly competitive
Ethnicity: Asian (Filipino)

major strength/weakness: strength: good GPA and lots of ECs & volunteer work/ weakness: awful SAT I & II scores.. but hey, I just proved that those don't decide everything. :P
why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: Deferred originally because my SATs were pretty bad. Accepted I guess because of my GPA, ECs, and volunteer work? My app made me sound really Catholic so I don't know if that made any difference, lol.</p>
<p>Other Factors:
* Date you got your envelope? 3/27
* (if you were accepted) Are you going? It depends. I'm still waiting on two schools and BC's financial aid package. But since they're a Jesuit school, I'm hoping they'll be REAALLLLYYY generous. lol.</p>
