I'll be attending BC in the fall for a Master's in Social Work. I'll be new to the Boston area and I'm so excited! If anyone will be headed there, it would be great to hear from you

When did you apply? I just heard back from Boston College 2 weeks ago after sending my app in the middle of January. I heard back from UPitt in December, (5 days after I sent in my app,) and I'm still waiting on 3 more schools. I had all my apps done between December 1 and January 15.
I already knew I'd be looking at student loans, but I didn't want to spend a crazy amount of money on my MSW either. Fortunately, I was offered a pretty good scholarship from one of the more expensive schools. Without the scholarship, I don't think it would be worth it. I don't want to be in debt for a decade!
I didn't apply advanced standing either, but I got accepted to the regular 2-year program a couple of weeks ago. They offered me a pretty nice scholarship too. (3.505 GPA from Vanderbilt, lots of volunteering/community activism) Good luck!
