FYI, just got scholarship info via email. I was accepted just before Christmas.

ditto...anyone know how to haggle with the first offer?

I'm planning on working my way up, but I've heard BC is very tough (and case dependent) to negotiate with.

Oh man! I hope there's still money left by the time they evaluate me for aid--I only got accepted about a month ago.

Just went under review. Does anyone know how long this process could take?

There is only a finite amount of time left for reviewing applications, so it shouldn't be long.

Haha so true.

i've been "complete" for over 2 months. would it be ill advised to send bc a loci? i don't want to be rude or pushy, but i'd like to visit bc when i visit bu. when are the asws for bc?

ASD are this Friday and next Friday. Alumni Receptions have past. (I believe they have; I only looked at when the Boston one was.)

You can send one, but I can't speak to how beneficial it'd be. My personal opinion on LOCI is that they can't hurt if they are done well and that, if you are going to consider sending one and likely feel that you could have done more if you are rejected or WL, send a very good one.

If I haven't got a decision yet I am riding the train to WL/reject city or do they have acceptances this late as well???

i would imagine they have acceptances this late! my stats r above both 75th percentiles and i have decent softs, but i've been hovering at complete since january. apparently bc doesn't yield protect, so maybe they're just slow?

Thank u ...you calmed my nerves a bit...heres to hoping they release some decisions this week

[mcdeeremitch]

Also if I do recieve an accpetance....am I screwed for not having completed the need access yet...BC is the only school that I have either been accepted to or still waiting on that requires it...so I completely forgot about it???

[SDPalmTree]

Hmmm, my 'under review' date has been upgraded to 3/19... UR2 then?

[bne2103]

Is anyone who does not live within reasonable driving distance to BC going to either ASD? Anyone have a hotel recommendation? I am debating going to this Friday's, but unsure if it will be worth it...I'm just as interested in meeting with potential classmates as I am in the day's scheduled activities...do we think it will be well-attended?

I'm in the area, but I think it is a very good idea to attend, whether you are still deciding or already chose the school.

[Geneva]

does everyone get a UR 2? i just went under review for the first time yesterday.

[mcdeeremitch]

I really hope we get some decision rendered soon!

[msblaw89]

Withdrew! I hope some one gets my spot!

[hurricane12345]

Finally received Agora info! Still nothing showing there for merit or need aid though...*sigh*
