Funny story. We were in living room and my daughter was on her phone in the portal getting ready for an interview when she got a notification of status update. She looks up and said “I got in to BC” with a sheepish smile and we all went nuts. I told her that because she was RD that means she is a finalist for Gabelli. That information was a separate letter in portal. I are thrilled and relieved. The Gabelli Scholars is an unbelievable program and would put BC at #1 for her likely.
This message board has been such an incredible resource and it has helped us navigate the choppy waters of college admissions.
Yes. This is true. There are three day on campus interviews for Gabelli in March. @BDZMom interviews are not part o the evaluative process at BC but I believe you can request one. We did a campus visit and my daughter reached out to set one up. The AO told us clearly that even though they don’t count “demonstrated interest”, they most certainly track it and notice it. My daughter had a couple face to face interactions with AO as well as email exchanges. In the most recent exchange he even referenced her current high school.
If your kid is high stats I would pay particular attention as they do yield protect and dont want to be Ivy back up plan.
Did anyone get an email from Boston college requesting them to consider changing their regular decision application to ED2? My son apparently got one, actually two emails from them asking to consider.
Good. Would hate if it demonstrated non-interest or counted against him for not doing it. Obviously ED gives an edge, but we want to be able to make a cost effective decision and weigh which offers the best incentives/programs.
In my D24 portal, there is now a financial aid counselor listed. She is waiting on ED2. This was not there earlier today. Has anyone seen this? Does this have any meaning?! BC is her #1!
