<p>collegebound75 - FWIW UT Austin is way above “somewhere good”</p>

<p>hahah yea but I didn’t get into the major I wanted… got accepted into english which I am not really interested in majoring in</p>

<p>My son haven’t received his decision package/letter from BC yet in NYC, so he checked his agora portal this morning and now has a “pay enrollment confirmation fee” link and a “financial aid” tab available. I think it is safe for us to assume he has been accepted. However, we need an access code from the acceptance letter to view any financial aid award.</p>

<p>So I got the “pay enrollment confirmation fee” and the “Financial Aid reward notification” tabs. Thr Financial Aid tab says something like there is no financial reward at this time or something along those lines and the pay enrollment tab says something to do with housing fees and gives me options to “withdraw admission”. Does this mean I got in? I’m out of the country until Saturday so i will know what the official decision says Saturday night. I got deferred EA not sure if that has to do with anything. I’m so happy if I got in because I didn’t get in any of my reach or my other target schools and I just found out I got wait listed at one of my safeties. I’m already into 2 of my safeties but BC is my first choice so I know I shouldn’t really get my hopes up until I see the letter/package but I’m so excited and anxious to get back home and see for sure.</p>
