<p>Well if that’s the case beachedout, they’re going to have alot of lawsuits on their hands! I called Admissions yesterday and woman said they’re sending out acceptances both by e-mail and regular mail.</p>
<p>We live @20 miles from BC and got the e-mail this a.m. but nothing in regular mail today.</p>
<p>what the heck is wrong with BC. why can’t they just be straight forward.</p>
<p>Gaszwx – congrats on your acceptance! Were you also notified via e-mail, or just through regular mail?</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted! I am just so confused by all this e-mail stuff. I wish someone who was accepted by e-mail could call to confirm, BC seems really messed up. I received a random e-mail from their admissions office about a month ago and called and spoke to numerous people in admissions and none of them could figure out how or why it was sent which is why I was wondering if these e-mails were confirmed. Good luck to everyone who has not heard yet!</p>
<p>I was accepted via regular mail, with the oversized envelope. It is the same letter as the people who got e-mails, with the 1500 applicants for 90 spots and all that junk. Haven’t really looked through the whole packet yet. It was a cool letter because Mary French actually signed it. </p>
<p>Does anyone know how many people were actually accepted? I mean, I did out the “yield” rate from last fall, and so it would mean the acceptance rate is around 13%, but that seems awfully low.</p>
<p>Yeah the numbers were pretty steep this semester. Our class is huge.</p>
<p>@somewhere I did call the financial aid office and left them a message because no one answered the phone. Thanks for the concern tho - hopefully the finaid words so I can go!</p>
<p>im starting to lose hope…i hope they continue to release acceptances…</p>
<p>Don’t lose hope! From what Admissions told me on the phone the other day, this is the first time they’ve tried the e-mail acceptance route and all indications are that they don’t have it quite worked-out too well :)</p>
<p>Son still hasn’t rec’d actual mailed package – just the e-mail. I bet you’ll get a package today or tomorrow via regular mail!</p>
<p>Where else have you applied to?</p>
<p>RBK don’t lose hope. The letters were sent on monday, so you will probably get yours this week.</p>
<p>I’m definitely going. My financial aid package is awesome. Not as much as what HC is giving me. But, close enough!</p>
<p>Waitlisted. Any other wait listees know if BC is the type of school that would appreciate a letter? Don’t know what my chances are.</p>
<p>Meppie, I know my niece got in off BC’s Waitlist last year as a transfer – she found out @first week of June. Not sure if she sent a letter, but I don’t imagine it could do any harm. Wishing you good luck :)</p>
<p>@meppie are you from the east coast? bc i’m from the west coast and i’m still waiting to hear back</p>
<p>123business: im west coast too. i still haven’t heard back yet either. :/</p>
<p>@meppie - definitely send a letter. if BC is your first choice, make it known in your letter that you will be attending if accepted.</p>
<p>Yes, from the east coast. Should I send it in the form of e-mail or what? Any advice is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>I don’t think a letter via e-mail would be the best.</p>
<p>letter is better bcos it must be handled – (an e-mail can just be ignored). You can send by overnight by Fedex or USPS Priority Mail (two days to Boston) for $4.90. Address it to your regional rep at Devlin Hall – the person who signed your WL letter. To ensure receipt, send a copy of the same letter to the mail scanning service in Randolph. (A PO box will only accept USPS mail.)</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for all of your useful feedback!! What kinds of things should the letter address, basically why they should strongly reconsider my application and that I really want to attend the school (To let them know I’m not just window shopping)? </p>
<p>What are your feelings about final grades? I haven’t gotten them yet, won’t for a bit. Should I include them WITH the letter or send the two seperately. Thanks a lot!</p>
