etc., blah blah blah.</p>
<p>My Mom also went here, so I have legacy. </p>
<p>I really hope I get in! Their school of education is amazing, and I had a rough first year at American.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone! Any idea of when we will hear back? I really hope it isn’t actually June, I have deposits from other schools due May 1st…</p>
<p>@ktmalt95, hey that’s awesome. I’m really close to you. I go to NOVA Annandale. We do have similar stats. I hope we get positive result from BC. I am anxious as hell! What other schools have you applied to?</p>
<p>@cctransfer212 Hey! I’m really nervous too especially since after last year. I’ve gotten into some other schools, so so atleast I know I don’t have to go back to American. I also applied to BU, Vanderbilt, Tulane, NYU, TCNJ, University of Maryland and William and Mary. What about you?</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the decisions are coming out BY May31st or if they’re coming out only on that date?</p>
<p>it’s by may 31st i believe</p>
<p>i wonder if there is any chance of finding out earlier</p>
<p>Is anyone else putting down deposits at other schools? I was accepted to Vanderbilt this week, so I think I’ll be placing a deposit there and then revisit the BC option if I get accepted later in May.</p>
<p>Well I did not get any acceptance yet, so no.</p>
<p>@haliseciv is it ok to put a deposit in at another school while waiting for BC? I think I’m in a similar position as you (got accepted to UNC last week and they require a deposit by Mid-May).</p>
<p>@JohnnyRocket10 Yes! You can put down deposits but you’ll lose the money if you choose another school later. I think that’s what I’ll do…</p>
<p>Schools’ policies about the deposit deadlines are pretty flexible. All of you should ask for an extension for their respective schools.</p>
<p>i am still waiting to hear from vanderbilt so if i get in i will put a deposit down there. if i don’t i will put a deposit down at bu. their deposit isn’t due until june 1st though, so it kind of depend when we here from BC since it is my first choice. i hope we find out a little sooner than the 31st</p>
<p>Wait, where are people hearing May 31st?</p>
<p>"The Office of Transfer Admission sends all official admission decisions by e-mail. Therefore, it is crucial that you provide a valid email address when you submit the Transfer Common Application. The Office of Transfer Admission will not communicate admission decisions by phone or fax.</p>
<p>January (Spring semester) candidates who complete applications by the November 1 deadline, will be emailed their admission decision on or about December 15. September (Fall semester) candidates who complete applications by the March 15 deadline will be emailed their admission decision by June 15. "</p>
<p>“Transfer Admission decision for Fall 2014 will be sent by May 31st.” on the BC portal login. and it says “Please note that Boston College does NOT post admission decisions on line.”</p>
<p>@TransferGirlSoph Well let’s hope they come soon rather than later! haha</p>
<p>hey @TransferGirlSoph, when did you get your decision from BU?</p>
<p>@cctransfer212 3 weeks ago i believe</p>
<p>well congrats on that @TransferGirlSoph. what are your stats?</p>
<p>I got into Vanderbilt and BU, but BC is still my first, so hoping we hear back sooner than later! I have other deposit dates coming up… :(</p>
<p>@ktmalt95 did u transfer to BC last Fall or Spring? Also, how many credits u have. Thank you. I haven’t heard anything from BU too though…</p>
