Hi, I got an email offering acceptance from BC last Friday (2/2)... way before I was expecting it. It was from the director of graduate studies, and a faculty member in my area was copied. I imagine they give themselves until mid-February to get everything out? Don't give up the ship!
How bizarre... maybe this indicates a change in their process? I got the email, responded saying thanks, and the faculty member copied on the email responded to me. They said a mailed packet is forthcoming... hasn't yet arrived (but I live very far from Boston).
