<p>So will we know all at once whether we’re in or not, or will we now one by one by one until July 12th?</p>
<p>I think people are accepted from the waitlist individually, rather than all at once, as regular enrollment, housing, and financial aid are finalized. </p>
<p>I was also waitlisted for the College of Arts and Sciences.
31 ACT
3.82 UW/ 4.52 W GPA</p>
<p>BC is my first choice, so I already filled out the form online to keep my spot on the waitlist.</p>
<p>Can someone post the link for the waitlist form online? I haven’t gotten my decision yet and I’m gonna see if my name shows up when I type it in.</p>
<p>Honestly speaking, whether I make it in or not, I’m gonna feel like a loser for ever being waitlisted.</p>

Have fun</p>
<p>Accepted the waitlist offer.</p>
<p>hi can someone tell me what kind of enclosure the wait list came in? Was it just in an envelope or anything bigger? I need to know in order to find out if I got accepted or possibly wait listed!</p>
<p>@waitingjam123 It came in a regularly sized envelope.</p>
<p>I bet the waitlist is bigger this year 'cause BC kind of has to guess their yield. It was their first time requiring a supplemental essay and they probably waitlisted a bunch of us just (even some never in a thousand years people) in case applicants turn out to be really motivated students who’re more likely to get into better schools.</p>
<p>I couldn’t find any more recent ones but I think this will help

<p>Apparently, for the Class of 2013, applicants on the waitlist started hearing back about their final decisions in early May (5/7). BC mails decisions for the waitlist round too, but according to the thread, you’ll get an extra 6th tab on Agora if you’re in.</p>
<p>Just realized I made a BIG goof…never sent any of my schools the AP scores…Chem (5), Latin (5), Psychology (5) and English (4). Also did not send official PSEO grades 4.0gpa
Noooooo…</p>
<p>I don’t know what PSEOs are but you’re not supposed to send in “official” AP scores. They’re all self reported on the common app. I think colleges can check with collegeboard, but you weren’t supposed to send them anything.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. Surprised actually, thought I was going to be flat out rejected. But anyways guys just in case you missed it, if BC accepts waitlisted students this year and it’s the lowest number they’ll accept (5), we each have a 2% chance of coming off the waitlist.</p>
<p>Post Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) Since we have Ohio State University in our hometown and he only needed to take (4) A.P. at his high school to graduate, my S opted to take college courses in the afternoons. He was able to take Honors Bio, Comparative Studies and a junior level Neuroscience class. All beyond easy at OSU, but it gave him something to do in the afternoons and it gave him credits for college…</p>

Are you sure?

x= 250
There’s only 250 people on the waitlist? I forgot what year this stat was for, but I found somewhere that BC waitlisted some 6000 people and ~2500ish people accepted a place on the waitlist. I think around 160 people were accepted off the waitlist that year. Where are you getting your stats from?</p>
<p>@Findmefazo I just used the stats from the BC waitlist website saying that approximately 250 students accept the wait list each year. I’m interested in the stats you came across though because if that’s true then we’d each have around a 6.4% of coming off.</p>
<p>Here’s the link: <a href=“Admission - Boston College”>Admission - Boston College;
<p>Hmm… I guess non BC-sources <em>are</em> less reliable, but the numbers are so different!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think when they say “active waitlist” they mean the size of the waitlist once they start looking through it in May. Remember they said something like they don’t “activate” their waitlist until May?
So the number of people on the waitlist is smaller by then since students start accepting places at other colleges.</p>
<p>Also, “enrolled” is different from “admitted.” “Enrolled” means registered/attending, so the actual number of students taken off the waiting list will be much bigger (because some of them will refuse).
Also if the 250 waitlisted students in total thing is true, it’s very odd that 10 or more of those very special 250 people are all on collegeconfidential.
I think we’re missing something here…</p>
<p>Good catch findmefazo, that is true. They enroll between 5 and 25…so the number of students offered a position off the wait list has to be larger. It’s a shame we don’t have better stats.</p>
<p>There’s a waitlist for each college, so that there are about 250 people who accept their spot on the waitlist for CAS, about 250 people who accept their spot on the waitlist for CSOM, etc.</p>
<p>This is the information I have been working off of (select the “Applying” section and the numbers of places offered, places accepted and people enrolled is under “Wait List Statistics”).</p>
<p><a href=“BigFuture College Search”>BigFuture College Search; </p>
<p>This puts the number of applicants accepting a spot on the waitlist at 2,738 people and the number of people accepted from the list at 71. It is surprising that these numbers provided on the BC website and the numbers provided by the College Board are so different, because the College Board site uses information that the school submits to them every year. Strange, not sure which to believe. I tend to believe more in the College Board numbers, just due to the massive number of applicants BC receives. Even to individual schools within the university, 250 people accepting spots on the waitlist seems EXTREMELY small considering they have about 34,000 applicants…</p>
