Boston College Applicants Thread Forum

FYI for anyone with a need-based fee waiver: I received a need-based waiver a while ago. There was no code in the email, but all the other schools like this had directly waived the fee on LSAC, and it said "fee waived" on the certification page. Anyway, I emailed them, and they never got back to me. Finally called this morning, and they said, "You have to select pay by check, then print and mail the certification with a note that you have a waiver."

Who knew?

Just submitted today. I'm hoping to get in that first early December wave of decision

Submitted 11/4. This is my second time around for BC, so I'm hoping things go better this cycle!

I submitted my app to BC about a week ago, but haven't received anything (confirmation email/status check ID), is this normal? Should I email them or wait?

I submitted 10/13 and haven't heard anything. My impression is that this is normal (or at least that is what I keep telling myself). Anyone receive a status checker yet?

I noticed they want your SAT score...need to call my high school guidance councilor?

That's optional.

Just got a status checker for BC. Applied 10/10, hadn't heard anything since.

[snapdragon]

Just got mine today too. Was complete on 10/27. Glad I finally heard something..

[wildcathighfive]

got mine--complete on 10/21, pending decision on 10/17

[gz5hc9]

I got a status checker too. Mine says "Pending Decision". I went complete on 10/4.

[username99]

Just got my status checker and I had applied back in early Oct.

[ebl1014]

Just got the status checker today... complete 10/12

[firecracker]

Received mine today as well. If I remember correctly, BC says "Pending Decision" the whole time until a decision is rendered.

[Entchen]

Ditto everyone. Complete Oct. 28 (sent Oct. 24).

Anyone know what their schedule for releasing decisions was last year? Yeah I know I could go look it up, but I'm lazy.

[birD]

why does it say pending decision then later complete? shouldn't it be the other way around...?

[username99]

Wow, that chart is great. Is there a place that has them for all schools?

Are these definitely accurate?? Isn't Oct 4th for Texas really early?

[Gemini]

So if you submitted and are complete by now, I'm guessing that not hearing back by Dec 4 means a WL at best? Oh lord.

EDIT: Anyone notice that their GPA 25-median-75 is rather low? Here's hoping they're looking for high GPA's this cycle!! *crosses fingers*

Does anyone know whether (and if so, when) Boston College had an ED program? The reason I ask is that on Law School Numbers, there are several reverse-splitters who got into BC, and they are listed as "EA." Maybe I just don't know the difference between ED and EA. I presume it means the Early Action (non-binding), but aren't these things usually binding for law schools? Can anyone elucidate?

I think "oct 4" means fourth week of october. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

They used to have non binding EA a la Cornell ,but they don't anymore.
