ww007: did you D get a request for spring grades? Does BC ask for those prior to making a decision do you know?

I really don't know specifically about BC. My guidance counselor did say that even if you are accepted the colleges want the final transcript with the school's seal as proof that you actually completed your senior year (ie graduated). So I would guess that if you don't send them they could still accept you but would expect those grades before it was "official". A guidance counselor would know more about it.

Oh, sorry. I was talking about students transferring after their freshman year of college. Don't know if they get asked for spring grades from their current school or not.

sunshadow - I think spring grades only come into play if you get waitlisted.

yeah i heard someone at my school got in last week...but only from other people so I dont know how true it is.

so as most of you guys know BC said they cant give out info over the phone about the waitlist and they do not encourage additional rec letters to be sent. do you think they would care if i sent a teacher rec anyway? and i also wanted to send an essay i wrote for another app last fall because Ive realized my common app essay wasnt good at all and the one I want to send them is much better, what do you think?

oh and then do you think they would care if i called anyway or sent them a letter asking how i can get in touch with an admissions rep? i really just want to talk to someone and get some more info.

I would ask your guidance counselor. Some schools don't mind but some do. Don't know about BC.
