<p>Will fill out tomorrow, but so ecstatic! I love this school so badly, and am so proud I can finally call myself an almost Eagle! Congrats to everyone who got in, to those who haven’t heard back, I have a good feeling there is a surprise in the mail today!</p>

<p>Congrats to all who were accepted and hang in there to the waitlisted and rejected folks - you will find a school that will be great for you! </p>

<p>Do any of you have any info on the impact of legacy status? How much does it help? I noticed one applicant who is a legacy on this thread who was accepted but their profile would probably have gotten them in anyway.</p>

<p>Please comment - thanks.</p>

<p>I live on a boarding program and 7 people in dorm applied to BC! Most of them got their decision yesterday, none of the big envelopes was mine either could i find my rejection lette. I searched the whole mailbox it was just not there! I’m still having a little hope that my decision just haven’t come and it’s not that the letter is too small that i couldn’t find it. But we applied from the same school and have the same address the letters should come at the same time.</p>

<p>Anyone from New York City (Manhattan) receive word yet?</p>

<p>I checked the mail but did not find anything yesterday. Maybe today, or tomorrow, or thursday lol…</p>

<p>Hi can someone tell me what kind of package a wait-list or rejection comes in? I have a “package”, ie not just an envelope, waiting for me at boarding school from BC but I don’t go there until Monday and I want to know if that can only mean an acceptance!</p>

<p>Did anyone from downstate New York get REJECTED yet? I still haven’t received anything about my decision and its killing me…</p>

<p>We live in NYC and have received nothing yet.</p>

<p>Two of my friends who live near me in Long Island already received their acceptances yesterday. I’ve heard nothing about rejections in my area though so I’m assuming acceptances are sent first, then rejections…</p>

<p>I’ve resorted to waiting by my mailbox. Anyone is CA here anything yet? My mail should be here soon.
Fingers crossed…</p>

<p>General Comments:
Totally shocked that I was accepted.</p>

<p>I live in princeton and yesterday two of my friends heard back and were rejected. I have still not heard anything</p>

<p>For those who were accepted, did your letter state the date and time agora portal would be updated in order for you to pay the enrollment fee?</p>

<p>@Rastaman Mine said it would be up on March 27 (tomorrow) for my financial aid information, so I’m assuming it will have the other services up too.</p>

<p>Since I may not get my letter for quite some time, do any of you think I can use the changed tabs on the Agora Portal to determine if I was accepted or not? Lol, I’m an anxious mess.</p>

<p>D received big envelope today! Sat I 2340 (cr740, m800,w800, one sitting), top 6-7% of class, extensive domestic and international volunteering, many leadership positions.</p>

<p>Accepted to the honors program! </p>

<p>2070 sat, 4.00 unweighted, leadership positions in Student Government, NHS, Youth Legislature and a couple others. I also listed several jobs on my application (computer tech, camp counselor, soccer coach and private tutor.) </p>

<p>And to the person asking when Agora will be updated, I believe I saw that this will be happening tomorrow.</p>

<p>Still have not heard anything. I am in Manhattan.</p>
