General Comments: Congratulations to all those accepted!</p>

<p>Waitlisted :frowning:
91.4 UW heavy course load and a 2200 SAT. I did apply to carroll so that may be part of it. A terrible feeling as BC was in my top 3 choices</p>

<p>Had anyone from South Florida heard yet? </p>

<p>Waitlist here in Seattle. Regular mail. Small envelope. Good luck to everyone else!</p>

<p>Admitted to School of Nursing!
I live in Northern VA near Washington DC.
SAT: 2210
GPA: 4.3 weighted, 4.0 unweighted</p>

<p>Accepted into Arts & Sciences Honors College! Upstate NY.</p>

<p>Wait listed from Northern California. Sucks because I was originally deferred REA. I got into Northeastern’s NU in Program and will most likely accept that. Probably will study in London in the fall and transition back to Boston in the spring. Stings a bit because BC has always been my dream.</p>

<p>rejected CA</p>
