<p>I was accepted into the Carroll School of Management, and while I was pleasantly surprised (was expecting a rejection the entire way), BC is and was not my first choice, for a number of reasons, despite its excellent reputation.</p>
<p>I feel slightly guilty though, in some ways - a girl at my school got waitlisted, and she was absolutely devastated. She had been talking about getting into Boston College for as long as I could remember - since ninth grade. I feel bad for her. Given my current preferences for colleges, I seriously wouldn’t have minded swapping decisions with her, with her getting in and me getting waitlisted instead.</p>
<p>How the rest of you guys? Is BC seriously your first choice?</p>
<p>While I am OVERJOYED that I got into BC, I’ll be honest. Notre Dame is my first choice. However, living just north of BC is a nice comfort because now I know that if I get rejected from ND, I have the closest thing to it and I’ll be much closer to home. </p>
<p>With that said, I will be in shock and awe for the next 48 hours at least.</p>
<p>I got in early action and while it was a nice feeling to be accepted to my first school I most likely will not be attending due to the lack of financial aid…i mostly got loans and the deceptive work study</p>
<p>depends on FA. if its cheaper than Cal i’ll probably end up going. it’s kind of sad cause Cal is honestly my first choice but i do love boston a lot</p>
<p>If I can figure out what my financial aid is, it will (hopefully) be one of my first choices; however, if I have a similar situation in that a friend would die to go, and I only sort of like it. I wish I had the option of trading places with her…</p>
<p>Nowhere near my first choice. I got into Northwestern yesterday, and am still waiting on USC [first choice] and Penn [which I probably won’t get in to, but is still my #2]</p>
<p>I get what you’re saying, though, because my one friend really wanted to get into NU but was waitlisted, and when I visited today I couldn’t help thinking, "Wow, this really would be ____'s perfect school " </p>
<p>But no. I don’t like how conservative/white majority BC is, and will pretty much only consider it based on financial aid. Like only if they make it close to free will I go there.</p>
<p>Yeah I was the only person from my school to get into BC so I didn’t announce it to anyone and only told a select group of people. I feel bad because one girl was really crushed by the rejection.</p>
<p>I have a lot of respect for BC but I’m already in Swarthmore, WUSTL, Northwestern, Wellesley, and UNC-Chapel Hill. I wasn’t expecting to get into some of these schools, but now that I am I won’t be attending BC.</p>
<p>got into CSOM, but financial aid will decide if i go or not. i already have USC business in the bag, and honestly, im leaning towards there right now…or i was until i got CSOM today</p>
<p>some of you are crazy. BC most definitely is not a safety for anyone, they pick and choose the student body specifically, anyone can get rejected just like that. One of my friends had great SAT scores, excelled in a few extracurriculers, captain of varsity soccer 3 years on top of great essays, recommendations and hard AP courses. Waitlisted. </p>
<p>As for me, I got in and its my number 1 slash 2. Williams was my first choice, but I was rejected</p>
<p>Just like how Williams was your safety, right? </p>
<p>haha."</p>
<p>“carsonee, don’t flatter yourself.”</p>
<p>I’m… not kidding/lying/ego boosting…</p>
<p>Based on the kids my school consistently sends to BC, unless there was a big fluke, I was getting in. I realize that’s faulty logic, so don’t even bother trying to poke holes. I ended up getting in so it doesn’t matter. Anyone who wants to disagree with me just assume I"m an idiot who got lucky and dismiss me. End of that discussion.</p>
<p>oh, and I didn’t get into williams… like, duh. ;)</p>
