Those of you who applied via FT,

Did you have to indicate that you were applying FT or does it automatically apply for those who were invited?

It automatically applies it.

Accepted today via email. Applied 11/3.

Does BC send acceptance packages in the mail? Also when do they send out scholarship info?

I haven't seen anything about something coming physically in the mail. The attachment on the email said that financial packages start in January.

For FT applicants, does your first day "in review" count in the 10 days?

I got accepted last week and got an acceptance package in the mail exactly a week later. Just an acceptance letter and a view book but nice to get something physical!

Care sharing when you applied, went complete and went under review?

I have 161 LSAT and 3.92 GPA but got rejected this morning, anyone know the possible reasons for that? Is that because my LSAT is too low?

[slizerd]

Been under review for a few days now, (unrealistically) impatiently waiting for a decision soon

I wouldn't think so, it's only 1 pt below median, and your GPA is great. That's really surprising.

Submitted 11/4, went under review I think either 11/5 or 11/6 and decision rendered on 11/17. I was FT.

Wow that's shocking. The presumable increase in applicants may put 161 a little closer to the 25th, but your GPA should more than offset it. Were you a FT applicant?

How much do you think the uptick in applicants will increase the 25th-50th-75th, from a 158-162-163 (c/o 2018). The year before (c/o 2017), the spread was 159-162-164.

[Hornet2011]

I was a FT applicant -- submitted early November, admitted above 75th LSAT around median gpa

Best of luck to all of you.

That's very hard to predict, because different school's may use the increased pool for different purposes. I do think that it isn't a stretch to expect a 160 25th and maybe a 163 or 4 median. idk

That is not a realistic increase for this year. BC has experienced a sharper drop, both in GPA and LSAT, compared to its peer schools ever since the legal market contracted. I expect to see something similar to c/o 2017/18

I know schools are expecting an uptick, but looking at LSAT registration numbers, it looks very similar to 2013-2014. Additionally, I wonder if the quality of test takers is evenly distributed, which may give schools a larger number of stronger applicants.
