<p>I was wait-listed from Boston College and thus had to send my deposit into UConn. I don't find out from BC until July 1st at the LATEST. If I were to get accepted off the waitlist, any suggestions on what I should do? I mean I will have gone to UConn's orientation by then and I already have a roommate for UConn. I just feel like BC is too good of a school to turn down.
P.S. Money is not in consideration here
P.P.S. I'm going into accounting</p>
<p>Any thoughts/opinions/similar stories?</p>
<p>stay on the waitlist, pay the deposit, act as if you are going to UConn, get excited for it…</p>
<p>If you get off the waitlist then yay! of not, then at least you are pumped for your other school.</p>
<p>Ya if money isn’t a problem then just wait it out. do what you can to get off the waitlist at BC and hope for the best.</p>
<p>I got waitlisted at BC, eventually admitted. I don’t care though, I am going to Villanova full ride.</p>
<p>A friend of mine’s daughter chose UConn over BC - could have gone to either. Money wasn’t an obsticle. UConn must be pretty good…</p>
<p>My S just chose UConn over BC. Money was not a major factor, although his attitude was to save the money to go to Law/Grad school in 4 yrs. It was a major plus to be accepted into the Honors program @ UConn. If these are factors for you, you might want to reconsider. </p>
<p>That being said, BC’s business program has a good rep., and the locations are entirely different. UConn is so big however and there are so many kids still on campus on the weekends (not a suitcase school any longer) that it brings a different dynamic.</p>
<p>At least you know your going somewhere next year.</p>
<p>UConn accounting program is rated #11 in the country per business week (check out the ratings by discipline). I am a grad of this program – it is the best program in the business school, outstanding professors.</p>
<p>BC is an excellent school, but you are not trading down in this case.</p>
<p>Best of luck</p>
