EDIT: can you PM me who sent you the email? my "nomination" email was from a professor who has similar interests as I do. I wonder if its the same template email from the same guy.

veroniquaz Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Just got the email that I was waitlisted. Anyone has a clue about how many they waitlist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAlfredPrufrock Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I got waitlisted too. PS, how do you edit your old posts? I want to update my profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Just got the email that I was waitlisted. Anyone has a clue about how many they waitlist? Me too. My email said something like, "If you'd like to remain on the waitlist, please let me know by email." Assuming you're going to email him, what do you plan on saying? Is this the time to say something like "BC is my favorite school ever, so I'd like to stay on the waitlist (not exactly, but you get the idea)," or just "Please keep me on the waitlist." Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veroniquaz Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 dunny: As I would really like to go there, I tried to make the email sound like that. chptlk: thanks, now I just have to pray that all those who were already accepted will get their Harvard offers. I truly wish them to everybody :p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfConvenience Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 if you come to BC you had better play soccer. we need good soccer players for intramurals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econ2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I just spoke with Gail Sullivan at BC, and she told me that all first round offers have been made, and there may be second round offers, but the first-rounders have until April 15 to decide. She told me that BC received 300 applications, and plans to make about 35 admits, with an expected yield of 15-18 for the incoming class. So if they don't get their 15-18 from the first-rounders, then there will be a second round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they don't get their 15-18 from the first-rounders, then there will be a second round. I would not be too optimistic though. I emailed the professor who informed me about being waitlisted and from the email I understood there are more than 30 people currently on the list. I do not know how many admits they offered, but I would not be too optimistic if you were not informed yet. Even to me he basically said if I have other options I should start seriously considering them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkie Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 i just sent an email today that I was declining their offer. perhaps one of you will get my spot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econ2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 You are correct veroniquaz, my post was not intended to say that I thought I was getting in. I would be delusional if after the phone call I felt that I was guaranteed a BC admit. What's the scene from Dumb and Dumber? "What's the chances of a girl like you and a guy like me?" "One in a million." "So you're saying there's a chance!?" My post was strictly for informative purposes; I have practically written off BC as a rejection.
