I'm FT and my app went under review on 10/29. Yesterday was supposed to be my tenth day, but I heard nothing...possibly vet's day? if i don't hear back today I'm really going to go crazy

I'm not positive, but I dont think the day it goes under review counts towards the 10 days. That would put your tenth as today... However, I wonder about Vet day too. My 10th day is tomorrow, unless vet day doesnt count as a business day and then I'm dammed to waiting all weekend. I hope you here back today so I know that it'll come tomorrow for me.

Well... Vet Day isn't on the holiday calendar and Columbus Day was, so there's hope that it counts as a business day!

Sorry if this has been discussed, but why on earth does BC ask for college entrance exam scores?

I have no idea. I actually don't remember my ACT score (didn't take SAT), so I'm not sure where I have to go to look for my 7-year old ACT score

I suspect they are taking into consideration a potential history of poor performance on standardized tests. I believe that's part of the "holistic approach" some schools claim to take. Haven't seen anything linking the two, just speculating.

Just got the waitlist email - totally expected a ding since my LSAT isn't too great.

Admitted. 3.54/163 I had some pretty serious softs/we though

Checking in. App received 10/17, under review 10/28.

Really looking forward to hearing back from BC. If they still had ED, I'd have applied ED here. :/

Did your status checker ever* say your app was placed on hold?

Mine has been under review since 10/15. But at least for Washington & Lee, getting put on hold means they are waiting to make a decision until they can see the strength of the general applicant pool.

I emailed them and found out that it was because I'm registered for the December LSAT. Just had to let them know I wanted my app reviewed without the December score. I think BC and ND are the only schools to which I've applied that hold you app unless you let them know you'd rather they review it now. USC has a thing about holding it, but their website doesn't offer the option of requesting review based on your current LSAT on file. May send them an email to inquire.

Can all of my fellow applicants share their stats and where BC ranks among schools they've applied to? That would really help me out as a fellow applicant.

This can't be real, right?

I just looked at his/her previous posts, and they're all some version of this.

Dinged with a 3.6x and a low 160s LSAT as a Hispanic. Little surprised but Boston is a little too far forth for this Southern anyway! Best of luck everyone!

Wow that is a little surprising. Sorry to hear that. Best wishes on your other priority choices.

Did you apply via fast track?

Nope I applied RD. It is what it is. Thanks though!

Sounds like you should have been expecting an acceptance, but a major congrats just the same dude - it's a great school.

[LetsGoNow]

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 is something they automatically do on their end. There is no indication in the application.

I wish. If it seems like that its because I suck at communicating. I figured my UG would autmatically keep me out of the running. Thanks.
