My daughter applied ED2 to BC. She was deferred. She was then waitlisted. Ultimately she did not get in. I don’t think this is always the case. I believe some students can get deferred and accepted. Others deferred and rejected. Others waitlisted and rejected or admitted.

I would personally send two LOCIs. The first early on to share your continued interest that BC is THE school of choice and a brief update on anything of value that changes your application. Maybe a higher test score? An Eagle Scout award? New job or project? Then maybe a few weeks to a month before RD come out, I suggest an LOCI2 IF there’s anything new. Maybe some national or international award or honor. Maybe some MVP or new job. Don’t wait too long or it may not make the file. Don’t make it too long or the AO may not appreciate it and just not read it. Just don’t waste the AO time with an LOCI 2 that provides little change.

One question is did your son go test Optional? I hear BC does like tests being submitted. My daughter was TO and I wonder if that was a reason?
