Hey everyone! I took some prereqs in the Fall, sent my transcript to Boston College, and called twice to confirm that they received the transcript, which they said they did. However, on my application status page, they don't have the newest transcript posted. Since I called to verify twice, I'm sure that they have the transcript, but I wanted to know if anyone else was not having records on their application status page updated? I ask because I've either been denied or haven't heard back from all the other programs I've applied to (despite having been quite confident about my applications!) and am getting a little worried that the lack of update in the Boston application system means that I'm out of the running there as well. Any information would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi! I also took 2 of the prerequisites in the fall, and sent my updated transcript in late December. I didn't call to confirm that they received them, but I did upload an unofficial copy of the transcript to my application page just in case. Like you though, my application checklist never changed to reflect the additional transcript. I wouldn't worry too much about it - if they confirmed that they received it then I'm sure they documented it somewhere!

I'm placing my bets on this Friday, for decisions to be released. What do you guys think?

Probably not, I just need to set a deadline for myself so I don't keep checking my email all week... : )

Based on past threads, February 1st seems to be a common date for BC to release decisions. I bet you're right!

I wish they would send an email giving a more specific time frame for decisions! This wait is killing me!

Fingers crossed for Friday.

Does anyone happen to know what the breakdown is of speciality applications that BC receives/accepts? Is the cohort of ~40 evenly distributed among specialties? I didn't get the opportunity to attend an information session as I am from the west coast, and am wondering if this is something that they ever mentioned. Thanks!

I am also wondering about the cohort size (and the acceptance rate/# of apps received), if anyone has the info it'd be much appreciated ?

Past groups were around 40 students. I believe they receive around 300 applications for those spots. BC used to put out a class profile for the admitted students or cohorts, but they stopped recently.

Oh awesome thank you!

I really hope they let us know by Friday! I recently got accepted into another school and Friday is my deadline to pay the deposit at that school. However, BC is my top choice so I am hoping and praying they let us on Friday!!
