<p>[/ul]General Comments:
I probably will not be attending for financial reasons, but this acceptance means the world to me. Boston College has been my dream school every since I can remember. Boston College was my motivation throughout middle and high school, every time I worked hard can be accounted to my desire to be accepted here. I literally just sobbed for about two hours after receiving my acceptance because it breaks my heart that I probably won’t be attending…so it goes. I know there is someone out there who deserves the spot more than I do.</p>
