DD also got email saying application is under review and decision should be around March 7.
We got an email, too, it seems release date would be mid of Mar:
“Decisions will be emailed during the week of March 15; the specific date on which we will release decisions will be shared with you via email during the week of March 8, so please check your email at that time. ”
Last year it’s on Thursday evening, so would be 3/19 this year?
My son got an email saying his application was under review and he would receive an email the week of March 8th letting him know which day the week of March 15th they would have RD decision. Do you think the difference in dates means anything?
They did the same last year, exactly as the email states. Basically they will let you know the exact decision date about a week before.
My son didn’t get an email today. Worth reading into at all or are they cycling through the applications?
My daughter got this as well. It’s hard not to speculate as to what it means!!
One more for the stat pool on ED II. California female 1430 super score/4.0 UW - 4.5 W about 7 APs - public HS Napa CA - 10th in a class of about 430. Supers strong essays and some unique community service. Super excited!
@4kidstocollege I wouldn’t read into it. I know someone who got deferred ED with very strong stats who also didn’t get the email. I still think they have a good chance RD. Don’t lose hope!
What are people reading into the email? I don’t think it means anything other than letting us know their communications plan and reminding people to withdraw their applications if they have decided on another school. I think it’s great that they sent it…great to communicate and also very fair to remind kids to withdraw if they know they aren’t going there.
I agree if you actually received an email, my son did not…
@4kidstocollege Did everyone check spam/junk folder for the email because seems like a very general mass email sent out to all applicants
I agree it seems like a general email. So are you implying that if you didn’t get it it’s a good sign or a bad sign? I still think it means nothing but I really don’t know.
For the small sample of ED2 admits @evergreen5 @bbfan1927 - more details collected:
a. an update to post #187 re Texas female MCAS admit with superscore of 32 - only 2 APs taken - accepted before 12/31 by TCU, A&M, Fordham, Tulane & Babson - so she moved up her planned RD application & submitted it in time for ED2 - her Naviance put BC out of range so she decided to try ED2 vs RD
b. new entry - male CSOM admit - Texas Jesuit HS - 34 ACT - top 10% rank - rejected by both UT Austin & Notre Dame before 12/31 so decided to move up from RD to BC ED2 - strong ECs w leadership
Any thoughts on D’s chance in RD?

My middle child was born was congenital heart defect and is treated at Boston’s childrens. My D applying to BC wrote her essay on spending Time in CICU with the nurses that saved her sister’s life and how it shaped her desire to be a nurse… and to be of service to others.
Thoughts on chances? I know it’s a tough pool.
Did she only take 1 AP? Everything else looks great but that could hurt her application
1370 SAT (720 Math only took it one time, so no super scoring), 4.1 weighted GPA, 15 APs (only took 4 exams and passed all of them), AP Scholar, 4 community service programs involved in, First generation student, Low income household, tutored peers in math, tutored middle school kids in math, won state award for math, won school awards for math & Spanish, math major if you can’t tell lol, math team & honor society rejected ED2.
That literally makes no sense @MattIsHere . Do you have any clue why you were rejected? Regardless, those stats are amazing and you will end up somewhere great.
@crazymocha Struggled with my online classes junior year that got me 2 grades below Bs I think. I had one letter of recommendation that I felt was extremely strong (ofc I didn’t read it but I trust the teacher) and maybe the other one wasn’t. Is there any way I can contact the school to find out the exact reason why? I didn’t have internet my junior year and AP CS programs weren’t available at my school so I was SCREWED the second half of the semester and got like a 72. Also was AP Scholar with Honors which probably doesn’t make much of a difference but I just realized I didn’t put that. Also thank you so much for the kind words, have had a tough week or two since getting rejected.
sorry to hear the disappointing results Matt, but contacting a school after a rejection is a waste of time. No way any college would respond with other then, ‘very competitive applicant, but we just found others more competitive. If you still pine for us, consider a transfer application.’
fwiw: you probably hit the nail on the head. A couple of below B grades in the critical Junior year can be really hard to overcome.
Best of luck to you.
Add one more to the stats Boston College ED2. Texas. 3.8 GPA, ACT 32. SAT 1420.
