my grades and test scores really werent that good compared to the other posts, but i guess BC really does do a holistic overview of every application they receive. My essay and rec’s were really excellent, and ill admit that ethnicity did play a factor because a kid i know with a similar gpa and better test scores was denied, not even deferred. i’m really thankful for admission though, BC is my top choice school.</p>
<p>General Comments/Congratulations/etc:
also applied to:
Villanova: deferred
UConn
Holy Cross
St. Joseph’s</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone that was deferred or denied, and congrats to everyone else that was accepted! cant wait for next year and hope to meet you if you decide to enroll! Go to admitted eagle’s day! :)</p>
