<p>Well, I’ve been waitlisted from BC and judging from the stats, I assume my chances are very low.</p>
<p>Stats:
GPA: UW 3.3 W 4.0
SAT: 1550/2250 superscore
ECs: Above average</p>
<p>Didn’t expect much with my ****ty GPA. I’d like to know who else has been waitlisted and what everyone’s stats are. It would be useful in determining the chances of getting off the waitlist.</p>
<p>Do you have an upward trend?</p>
<p>Waitlisted.</p>
<p>3.7/4.1
31 ACT Math: 28 Reading: 33 English: 34 Science 30
Lots of APs and very rigorous senior course load.
Outstanding ECs
Good essays and recs.</p>
<p>What are the chances of being taken off the wait list?</p>
<p>I was waitlisted too.
98.89 Gpa
2050 sats
solid ecs
terrible essay (I really hated BC’s essay topics for some reason)</p>
<p>I was actually surprised to be wait listed , I was expecting a flat out rejection. I don’t think I’m going to accept a spot though because honestly BC is not my number one (or even in my top 5) so I don’t want to take away from the kids that actually really want to go. Best of luck to you guys though!</p>

<p>Unlike some other lucky BUTTS I don’t have any private schools to fall back on. I’ve got 1 or 2 decent -and I use this term loosely- public schools that want me.</p>
<p>We should recommend sitcoms and ice cream flavors to each other to cheer up. I’m gonna watch “The Nanny” on YouTube. I don’t have ice cream, but I have frozen yogurt tubes from Trader Joe’s.</p>

<p>Is everyone accepting their place on the wait list? For future posts in here, just include wether or not you’ll be accepting a spot. Boston College is my top choice and I was wait listed today- I’ll definitely be taking a spot on the list.</p>
<p>Already accepted place on waitlist online.</p>

<p>my 3rd waitlist…</p>
<p>It seems like they may waitlist by which of the four colleges you applied too also so maybe providing that too will help?</p>

<p>Sucks BC is my #1 , anyone else confused about the wording on the waitlist info?:</p>
<p>Decisions will not be made on admission until June 12 ,but they pledge to resolve our status by before June 12???</p>
<p>Haha kingb22 resolves our status before JULY 12th! Not June!</p>
<p>oh yeah haha thanks wasn’t to happy so didn’t really take the time to really read it</p>

<p>I am not going to accept the waitlist spot…
Because although I like BC… It’ll be a heavy financial burden on my family if I get in… And since I am an international student I am not eligible for financial aids. So I will give my spot to those who suit it and love it more !</p>
