<p>oops posted this on the wrong thread…</p>
<p>could I suggest that the template also include whether or not you had professional help with your essays/package? (-meaning more than HS guidance counselors)</p>
<p>A lot of acceptances. I am curious, how many of you actually intend to enroll at BC? I have heard some say it’s their safety, so I was just curious.</p>
<p>It is my sons first choice. He is waiting to hear from Duke and U Penn regular decision, but his first choice is BC, even over Notre Dame which he has already been accepted into. It will probably come down to finances at the end of the day. But, if money does not come into play, I suspect he will be at BC in the fall</p>
