Got in a few weeks ago! Still no word on scholarships, am I alone in that?

Also, BlueLotus- what made you pick BC over wherever else you were looking?


BC offered me the most scholly money (they are def willing to negotiate). Also, strong public interest program and desirable location. Other acceptances were W&M, Notre Dame, and Temple.

My numbers were 3.82/164.

How do you like the student life/ culture? Is there a strong sense of a cohesive identity or is it more individually focused? Thanks for helping us prospies out btw

My status checker says "Decision Rendered". And that'll I'll get a letter with the decision, but they emailed the acceptance.

Yes, it just changed. However, I checked it this morning and it still said under review so I was not expecting to hear anything!

Just remembered they've been semi-shutdown due to snow. It'll probably take them some time to get caught up with scholarships and the like

Wait listed earlier today. Any suggestions for writing a letter of continued interest (LOCI)? Never done this before...I am curious what a law school would expect in a LOCI.

Anyone else have any news on this? I'm trying not to give up hope but I would assume they notify everyone around the same time if they're being moved on to the next round.

Waitlist. Sort of interesting I'm at last years 50th for GPA and 75th for Lsat. Bit surprised...maybe they don't think I'll come because im from CA. Ohh well time to wait

I haven't heard anything yet either, but I definitely share your nerves

Waitlisted via e-mail earlier today. Status checker reads "Decision Rendered."

Over the phone, BC said that they will re-review all wait listed applicants beginning in June :( . Seems like an eternity from now.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
