Boston College Applicants 2011-2012 Cycle, c/o2015 Forum

is there a differance between when yal say that your app is UR and what is says in mine, "your application is being reviewed"?

Are these the same?

I think they're the same - that's what I mean when I say under review anyway!

[pedroia]

In today via email/video message. 3.1/167. On hold 12/22. Decision Rendered today.

Congrats.

Congratulations! Good news, both for you and for those of us still waiting. Was there any kind of status update or did it go straight from hold to decision rendered?

Still waiting on my UR 12/23 to materialize into a decision, and hoping that your 12/22 might mean something is coming soon....

Congratulations again.

Thanks! It went from Decision Rendered on 12/22 (which was a hold), back under review 2/6, updated again to 2/10 UR, then Decision Rendered today (2/14). I originally submitted back in late September.

Ah, OK. Well at least they turned it around quickly once they decided to review it again.

Finally just went under review!!!

Same boat! Except I was complete in November. I have a feeling they'll WL me, but I bet you'll get in. Those numbers seem to be pretty spot on for BC.

I've been complete since late November... what're they waiting for?

ingoodfaith, you're not under review yet??? I applied a few weeks ago and have been under review for about a week. weird since we have the same numbers.

Been under review since mid December

Hope we get some answers before the start of the semester


Sorry, bad waiting humor.

No, they're more likely to waitlist me because of my numbers. Your numbers are great for BC!

application complete 1/13 and no movement since then
soooo frustrating!!!!!!

hope other ppl are having better luck w/ their cycles!

[dnyr2b]

Just updated to 2/15 from 12/13. Hmmmm

[TB12]

Since they've already been rolling out scholarships, any idea whether having not heard back will put you at a disadvantage? I just wonder for how much longer they'll be sending out offers...

Just so you know, I didn't hear anything from BC originally when a bunch of other people on here were getting scholarship offers. In the end, they ended up offering one of the larger scholarships that they give out to 1Ls. Don't panic.

By the way, if any applicants have questions, they can shoot me a PM. I don't remember too much about how the application cycle played out because it was a while ago, but any general questions you have I can answer.

Waitlisted as of today. I just went "under review" yesterday.

[irish1485]

Was yesterday your first time being under review?

[hob12]

Was yesterday your first time being under review?

Before I believe it was something like "Sent to committee"

Thanks for letting us know - very helpful/calming!

I got a fee waiver from BC and decided to throw my hat in the ring, even if they are only trying to boost their stats. However, I submitted my application 2 days ago now through LSAC. LSAC says the reports have been generated and sent yesterday. My question is how long, in the past, did it take for people to get acknowledgment of their application from BC.

does my first two 158's hurt me now i have 167?

Shouldn't

If you have a compelling story, throw in an addendum explaining the circumstances (less than half a page). Otherwise, with that kind of a jump, I wouldn't worry. If anything, taking the LSAT a third time and drastically improving shows commitment and unwillingness to accept mediocrity. Congrats on the your 167.

I agree with this.

I had two lower LSATs then a third higher one that still didn't hit 167 and they let me in during the month of November.
