I think the turn around has generally been fast (same day) but for some its been a day to two days. Unfortunately there seems to be no clear cut rule. Good luck!

Thanks! And thanks for that update - seeing as if it is 4:30 p.m. and there is no email, I am expecting the worse, but your post gives me (some) hope...we'll see what happens!

I had my decision rendered come up at like 4:30pm one day and got the acceptance email the next morning at 9AM. I think generally within 24 hours is the turn around

I suppose though that the turn-around in that case could be considered a few hours, since admissions offices are closed after business hours, right? That would tell me that the turn-around would be really brief in your case

Same case...I had my DR about 5PM...got the e mail at 1 PM the next day...Good Luck

Heard from both BU and BC today via email within about 20 minutes of each other, conspiracy!
W/L at BU, in at BC. 3.3/173, late apps, in early Jan.

It seems likely that we will have to log-in to Agora to see our $$ info for the first time

With that in mind, does anyone know how to log-in, or else when we'll receive log-in info?

[rockyIV]

Last year they had sent out the Agora info by mid-March is what it looks like from past forums (pretty sure they posted scholarship info on March 18th)

[krad]

I emailed the office to inquire about merit-based aid implying that I had other large offers/asking if they'd consider my other offers and they replied with a scholly email! $54k! ($18k/yr)

wow sweet. would be very valuable info if they would accept me.

[ldboston]

congrat krad! I am jealous...i emailed them about merit aid and they told me to send along whatever info I thought they should consider, so I just did yesterday. Hoping that I hear something positive back from them as well!

[whitman]

Does that mean that unless we email them, we will not receive offers at this point? I am shocked I haven't received anything yet...should I email?

@ whitman I'm not really sure what their standard process/time line is; that was one of the questions in my email (and it wasn't really answered ha)... I'm sure you'd get something?

[philswfc2008]

It's been over 24 hours (between 10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Monday, now it is 12:30 p.m. Tuesday) since getting the "Decision Rendered" status change - and no email. I assume that means I am a waitlist or rejection, hoping for the former, obviously. Anyone have a longer lay-over and still get an acceptance email?

[tttlllsss]

To everyone who emailed BC about merit aid.. Who did you send your emails to? Also, did you just mention the dollar amounts of other schools' offers?

[Perch]

also is it really beneficial to email them offers or perhaps just to wait and see when they release this big scholarship wave...what did it look like last year?

[jwmalone87]

Decision Rendered this morning, was IR 1/18. No email yet but wish me luck
