<p>I was waitlisted, I live in Texas Asian Male, 1500/1600(reading and math), 2200/2400 sat score…3.8 unweigted gpa, with 10 A.P.s + 6-7 Honors Classes.</p>

<p>I will send in many letters/emails.
I may visit.
Send in more recs/grades.</p>

<p>What is everyone else planning on doing?</p>

2

<p>Not sure, but what program did you apply to?</p>

3

<p>Nothing. I submitted my SIR to another school so I’m pretty much set- unless I get off the waitlist by a miracle.</p>

4

<p>I applied for Economics at CAS…I didn’t show any interest, and now I am regretting it…■■■…</p>

5

<p>BC does not track interest.</p>

6

<p>does anyone have any suggestions though, as I would like to hear them as well, I know BC says they do not track interest, so what can you do, BC is my number 1 choice and I would go if I got in, is there anyway to let them know this?</p>

7

<p>I don’t believe BC really cares if you submit anything. I mean, clearly the students who were already accepted will be given priority. As for the students on the wait list, I’m sure BC has some specified order of students that they’re willing to accept.</p>

<p>You can send as much as you want but you also risk annoying the admissions committee. Just follow the rules and don’t be a pest.</p>

<p>BC ranks its waitlist???..I hope I am not at the bottom of the waitlist…Any advice would be greatly appreciated…</p>

11

<p>you shouldn’t really send anything in because it’ll annoy the admission reps., just wait till may 1st…some ppl say that there will be several open seats at BC, we’ll just have to wait and see</p>

</p>

<p>I don’t know if they do, but there has to be some order of admitting students into the school, right?</p>

13

<p>^^^ well emory where I was also waitlisted, says they don’t rank, instead if spots in their incoming class open up, they re-review all of their waitlist applications…</p>

14

<p>When I got my letter saying i was waitlisted in the mail it said that BC doesnt rank applicants… they will reevaluate in order to determine who they let off the waitlist.
On another note, kids who can pay will most likely have an easier time getting of BC’s waitlist this year bc of the financial crisis etc.</p>

15

<p>^^ I hope so…I tried contacting them about that, but no one has responded to me trying to take myself off of FA…</p>

16

<p>I’m not going to be going, so one spot opens up (well, maybe anyway)</p>
