yay! it's not a rejection! Are you considering on being kept on the waitlist?

Thank you!! I hope you hear back this week!!

Update: got my acceptance letter in the mail, with the merit scholarship. They pretty much gave me the same amount of scholarship as Simmons. I am definitely going to commit to BC.

Simmons, after merit- $45k Clinical as well! I eventually want to be a school social worker.

Since I’m part time- I would be charged $1,184 per credit. That’s about ~$77k, not considering if they will charge me any student fees.

I haven’t received my actual acceptance letter in the mail yet. Which I was told would have my scholarship attached (if I received any). I have to give Simmons an answer by Monday. But it seems like I have already made up my mind to go to BC, even before getting the email. Just for so many reasons. So I think Im going to decline my offer at simmons, even though I haven’t seen my package at BC. Even if I don’t get get any scholarship- I’ll be part time so I wouldn’t be living in Boston (not having to get an apartment), which means I would only accept the amount of direct loans I really need to cover classes. My current job will help pay $500 per class (only 2 classes a semester). I feel like I would be okay, financially. Am I making the wrong decision? I need some opinions

my portal was updated on friday but didn't receive an email until yesterday! probably because of the weekend. So you'll probably get something soon!

That's pretty weird that they won't just tell you. I'm sorry that they're doing this! That's so frustrating.

I think so! But not totally positive

Their office closed at 4 yesterday so hopefully they will reply today when they open!!

How long did you wait to get your letter after the email?

I haven’t received anything about merit or loans. I think it’s because I didn’t send in my financial aid application form sooner. I’m planning to call them tomorrow and ask when I’ll be hearing about financial aid. I sent out the form today but hopefully they’ll let me scan and email them instead so I’ll get a quicker response ?? I also hope it doesn’t mean that I’m not getting any scholarship

Thank you! Hope you and @Patriotsfan17 hear back by tomorrow!

Just got my email!

I still haven’t received an email

@lostxoco @NYMSW2018 Did you both fill out the additional financial aid form before or after they sent you a decision?

My cumulative GPA was pretty low, 2.9. BC asked for my junior/senior year GPA which was a 3.4. I didn't take the GRE though. I did my undergrad at BC. I was a double major in Applied Psychology and Human Development, and Sociology. I applied for the 3-year program so that I could work full time and go to school. This is my first year out of college. I decided to take a gap year before going back for my masters. I currently work at a nativity middle school. I'm on the administration team. My job title is pretty much Alumni Support Counselor and Family Transition. In college, I signed up for multiple mentoring programs (mentoring first year students and helping them with their transitions, and culture club "family"/group mentoring). BC undergrad offers PULSE for their theology/philosophy requirement, which requires the student to take the class and do a full year of service. My placement was at a community center in Brighton and in the Home Tutoring/Mentoring program. I was matched with a student in the community and I helped with her homework and we were required to have companionship time. A lot of one-on-one. I also taught a SAT prep course for Let's Get Ready during one of my summer (also did college prep mentoring). I also interned for GEAR-UP (Gaining Early Awareness & Readiness for Undergrad Program) throughout high school and during one semester my senior year of college. I also interned at a high school under the Assistant Headmaster. I did a lot of logistic stuff during my time there, and was given the chance to shadow and help out guidance counselors. I was also there when there was a lot of things happening in the city and they brought in Trauma Counselors. I helped with a lot of event planning, etc. I eventually want to become a school social worker.

Did they notify you about scholarships/loans in the same email they sent your decision? or was it a separate email/letter?

Thank you! and yes, under Account and Personal Info section.

I logged into my BC portal and they added a few links and sections. "Grad Enrollment Deposit" and the financial aid section. I think I got in!!!! No emailed yet though.

It seems like they're sending out decisions at 11am - or at least thats the time stamp from everyone that has heard back.

Which program did you apply for? I applied for the 3year extended program (completed by 1/17). I wonder if they're going through the traditional 2 year program applications first before the extended program.

Congrats! Definitely a good morning! When did you submit to BC?

I wonder if they’re going to let everyone know throughout the week or send out decisions on a specific day.

Has anyone heard anything from BC recently?
