<p>Just remembered more info:</p>
<p>Hispanic
Very competitive private school, one of the top dwn here.</p>
<p>jmnpb-Your GPA definitely kept you out.</p>
<p>amm11387, I don't really know what kept you out, but it may have been that your GPA is just a tad low.</p>
<p>does BC use their waitlist (im asking if i still have a chance) because I know alot of schools like Georgetown - if you are on the waitlist you're basically rejected - so I'm asking is BC like that?</p>
<p>From my understanding, the waitlist is not to be counted on. You never know how many will be taken off of it.</p>
<p>Instead of waiting to see, I would just cut my losses and find another school.</p>
<p>WOW you would think that BC would accepted hispanic students as they are currently THE lease diverse major school in the Boston area.</p>

<p>It depends on the matriculation rate of accepted students this year.</p>
<p>The best chance of getting accepted off of the wait-list is sending in your third term grades if you did well and writing them a letter saying that you would definately attend if you got in.</p>
<p>Hey could you guys also post what state you're in so both we and future years can keep track of just what states recieved what by when? Thanks!</p>
<p>maryland but my school is in DC</p>
<p>yea and sending in my 2nd semester grades would almost certainly hurt me (it went from a 3.9 1st semester senior year to like a 3.4 so far 2nd semester)</p>
<p>do u think an alumn who donates alot of money talking to the admissions office would help or hurt</p>
<p>What did your letter say so that you knew you were waitlisted?</p>
<p>It pretty much is a bunch of stuff trying to make you feel like a competitive student and then in nice bold letters it tells you you have been wait listed...little tiny envelope</p>
<p>some stats:</p>
<p>SAT: 2000/2400
GPA: 5.00 (weighted)
Rank: 6/698
And as a matter of personal opinion..very good essays and good reccomentations</p>
<p>chrstinaki: YOU were waitlisted!!!</p>
<p>Yeah, oh well...i like Boston University better anyway:)</p>
<p>Hey, I totally agree w/ u there--100%. That's a load of s*** from BC, though...your stats are amazing. I hope you have better luck w/ BU!</p>
<p>well at least I'm not alone right</p>
<p>amm - you're doing better than me ;). I was rejected. I'm kinda in shock right now...it's not so much that I really really wanted to go to BC, but it was one of my "match" schools, and now I'm quite worried about the others that I applied to.</p>

<p>I never read my recs but both were from teachers who like me a lot and both know me fairly well I'd say.</p>
<p>Amherst College loved my essay (found out through football coaches) so I'm pretty sure other adcoms would like it as well.</p>
<p>After seeing other people get in with stats that seem lower than mine, I was just surprised by the rejection. Oh well...life goes on. :)</p>
<p>odan, you got rejected?</p>
<p>Dear Lord.</p>
<p>Im honestly thinking id rather be rejected than waitlisted so that I wont worry about it for another 3 months</p>
