<p>did you guys all apply for scholarship??
you guys all have great scores…</p>
<p>Wow, quite a few people with great stats were waitlisted :(</p>
<p>Stats are not everything. Stats only put you in the position to get you accepted. The same thing goes for the other categories. The key is a clear passion and the applicant’s ability to transform that activity that they have passion for the better. At the beginning of the year, they always announce that they look at a number of criteria (SATs/ACTs, GPA/strength of classes, extra curricular, essays, recommendations, etc). You need to be strong in all these areas. Most applicants are strong in the majority of them. Good luck to all and realize that a rejection or wait-list is NOT the end of the world - you all will do great things wherever you go as long as you continue to put the effort in</p>
<p>wow…those 22XX 23XX SAT1s are freaking me out…how did I got in, really. </p>
<p>anyway, any other admitted intls? I wonder when the mailed package would arrive. im so anxious waiting…</p>
<p>I am also international, my D lives in a Canadian boarding school, is a non-English native speaker. She will be getting the packages shortly, I guess. </p>
<p>Many cc’ers here have better stats for SAT, D’s SAT scores are 2100+, just two APs (5,5). But she persisted through difficult situations to reach that. Feel catholic schools give more consideration for individual situations…</p>
<p>i guess my essays or class ranking had done that for me. my frd here in China got a higher SAT I(21XX) but got rejected as well.</p>
<p>SAT scores do not get you accepted or rejected - they put in place to either get you rejected or accepted. think about it if someone just studies every night and gets a 2300 on the SAT and a 4.0 GPA but does nothing, would they be accepted over someone who got around a 2000 SAT and a 3.6 GPA, but who developed a foundation or volunteered in foundation for a specific group of people and who played 3 sports and who was very dedicated to those three sports and had great recs and essays. Stats are not always the final say. you have to look at the entire package and not just the numbers</p>
<p>You guys from ND have this illusion that ND is “harder” to get into than BC. This is false. While ND may have the higher ranking according USnews, it does not mean that it is necessarily harder to get into. BC has nearly twice thi number of applicants as ND, and the cross applications that BC Has to contest with include 7 of the 8 ivies. I’m not saying that ND is “easy” to get accepted to because that is false. I’m just saying that BC is just as difficult due to the caliber of students applying, and the sheer number of students applicants have to contest against</p>
<p>@eemmzz10 … I hear exactly what you’re saying. BC accepted about 10 kids from my high school early action and then waitlisted or denied everyone else regular decisIon… and they say it doesn’t matter how many they take from one particular school. I knew I always hated boston :] but 30000 people applied for the same amount of spots ND has to offer… however ND is more selective I would say</p>
<p>Its so ridiculous that you need extremely high ACT scores to get accepted. How about taking a look at the entire picture?</p>
<p>I’d ask everyone to be sensitive about discussing the waitlist. Remember that stats, legacies, personal situations, athletics, and a bit of luck are involved in this process…for everyone. This year’s applicant pool was the largest ever; students who were waitlisted are not necessarily any less academically-qualified, worked any less hard, or any less involved than those who were accepted. It’s just how things worked out. </p>
<p>I’m very grateful to have been offered a place on the waitlist, and I completely respect the University’s decision. But I think that speculating a lot about why people were or were not accepted or waitlisted is not very productive at this point, because a lot of individual factors are taken into consideration in this process. </p>
<p>Everything will work out the way it’s meant to for all of us. I believe that. Congratulations to everyone who was accepted, and best of luck to those who are still waiting for news, either this week or next month.</p>
