Hey folks, fellow 12/07'er here....Hoping a potential envelope today...so why would BC post that they don't "hold" accounts and then do this to tons of applicants

Where did BC post that they don't "hold" applications?

I think we covered this a few pages back; BC says "If your application is denied, it is a final decision and will not be returned to the applicant pool." We managed to arrive at the conclusion that this just means if you get denied, tough luck.

I think this is causing a lot of confusion because no one was ever under the impression that a rejection was anything BUT a final decision, so people started assuming that the "returned to the applicant pool" meant that they would not defer you, only reject/WL you (myself included).

It is confusing.

I guess that was just the vibe I was getting from this and other sites...

Should have read closer, that they state those whose application is denied will not be re-evaluated. Well lets hope something comes in today. Any Chicagoans waiting on a letter?

Housemate said a small letter arrived to my house (DC area) from BC. Assuming a hold/WL. 3.52/165 - likely withdrawing.

Good luck-

This is the only place on earth where people gather to gripe about anticipated holds/waitlists.

Are you serious? YOU HAVENT GOTTEN YOUR DECISION YET! If you were so convinced that you were going to get a hold or waitlist you wouldn't have applied. At least calm down and wait until you see the letter before commiserating over a hypothetical imminent hold/WL... (obviously this is directed to the people griping who criticize other people for griping).

Man all the positive vibes I tried to send to BC yesterday has turned into gloom and doom on this thread. Here's one that still believes!

Hah Burger I'm not griping! An earlier poster mentioned big envelope = acceptance, and I'm content/really effing excited with/for Fordham

. BC was for lack of a better word- a safety (not by the numbers!) in case for some reason I lose my job and then decide to go to a full-time program.
