What happens if you get off the wait list?

<p>Two years ago, BC sent out letters of acceptance to some WL’ed candidates. Not all received a phone call. Depending on the acceptance ‘wave’, students had a LOT longer than one day to decide and put down a deposit. Note, that final decisions may not be made until June 30.</p>

<p>WL’ed students will not receive four years of housing, but will receive Frosh housing like everyone else. </p>

<p>Financial aid maybe limited.</p>

<p>Looking at past years, numbers are not the only criteria, in that some lower numbers are accepted off the WL earlier than higher numbers. Thus the process appears to be holistic, just like regular admissions. In addition to pure numbers, qualitative aspects are still important: geography may come into play, and perhaps gender, college to which you are applying, strength of recs, and the like. It also depends on the need of the college. If the tuba player just changed his/her mind and decided to go to local State U, for example, BC then needs a new tuba player…</p>

<p>No one will care who was WL’ed or not, unless you decide to share.</p>
