Phone call by admissions officer
Wow, they already started taking people off.
They are taking off the Boston College waitlist already? The email from my admissions counselor said they will not touch the list until May 1. BU had many applicants taken off the waitlist today.
Lets hope that they keep taking people off of the waitlist this week…the anticipation is killing me
I feel like I’m just going to be watching my phone…how unhealthy.
Ya lol I have a feeling it was a BU waitlist thing or extremely special circumstances. Its written like 10 different places that they won’t budge the waitlist until May 1st, including the survey sent on friday.
When people are waiting for decisions on CC threads, it is not unusual to see some false or otherwise inaccurate posts by new posters. No need to stare at the phone yet.
would hate if people were trol*ing on a waitlist thread…like cmon we’ve been through enough lol
It is not false information. A friend I go to school with was the one who informed that she got off of the waitlist and how she was excited. Highly doubt she would lie.
But I also thought they were waiting for May 1st.
Since they started taking students off, I hope that it means that more of us will get off the WL. Best of luck to everyone!! If you get off the WL, feel free to share info about yourself like what school you got into and where you’re from.
You have to factor in that this is a very unusual year with the pandemic. Colleges may be pulling pulling from waitlists early and more often than normal. Best of luck to all!
Will BC only take kids who can pay full tuition or do not need a lot of financial aid off the WL?
I have heard of no movement. My source, who is not the dean of admissions by any means, but close to the situation says they are not aware of offers being made yet.
They did say it could have come from development, athletics or an administration request. That has happened in the past with a very strong applicant that also helps with other institutional objectives.
However, it is a different year. Pandemic. Perhaps some Ed or Ed 2 unexpected melt for obvious economic reasons in the current environment.
It could be as suggested in the thread.
Good luck to all. Be patient for a few days. Easier said than done of course!
I feel there will be a good amount of opportunities this year compared to the recent past.
They have said multiple times that they will not start pulling off waitlist until May 1st. Seems unlikely that a person would head to college confidential to post about someone they barely know getting off waitlist. Just my opinion. Wouldn’t be too stressed about it.
Anyone’s portal change to make it seem like they were admitted? Mine now says “Admitted Student Portal” in the top right, and a few links have been added. Have not received any other indication that I am off the list so I am confused.
@goodcollege24 Not me… I would take that as a good sign haha.
@goodcollege24 I dont have that either… It must be a good sign!
.
Mine did, but I don’t want to think of it as anything.
I got the same thing of admitted student portal, hopefully a good sign!
