I think I called them and they said they had everything but I've done that for several schools so now I'm not entirely sure... I didn't get a confirmation email either. BC is usually big on their students being responsible of their own stuff (at least that's how undergrad was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never visited/don't know much about the area (not that I'm expecting to get in anyway after the BU fiasco, lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's right on the B line & there is shuttles to the D line (quicker way into the city). For undergrad, a big thing for me was that I didn't want to be directly in the city and Chestnut Hill is a good distance from downtown, and it was less than a hour drive from home. But as a POC, there were a lot of issues BC could've handled better. honeynut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngoc9 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Do you guys think BC will send out decisions today? Campus is closed because of the storm ? (but reslife is still doing housing selection today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctormelody Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I know this is not the topic of this thread and I apologize, but would anyone who got into Simmons be willing to let me PM you about financial aid? I haven’t heard anything from them despite having gotten in almost a month ago and I am truly desperate. ?

doctormelody Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Does anyone know if BC is open today? I just tried to call the admissions office for the school of social work but it went straight to voicemail. Edit: It's also possible they are just on lunch at the moment.

I should just chill but I am far too impatient for that... I really really doubt it will, but I also feel exceedingly bitter towards them after they made me wait a month to find out I didn't get a merit scholarship, lol. I want to believe they're just disorganized and not actively malicious, but the letter in my "financial aid package" (if it can be called that, it's all loans) was dated March 6th, which is the same day I called them essentially begging for them to just let me know one way or the other, so. I'm pretty mad, all told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngoc9 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I just called BC. She said “you should be hearing back in the next two weeks.” She didn’t check my file or anything like the other lady did when I called last week. So maybe this is what they’re telling everyone. ??♀️ Not sure how long of an extension I should ask for from Simmons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it would have been fine if they had just let me know when I called. I don't see what the point was in making me wait another week besides keeping my hopes up for no reason. 8 minutes ago, ngoc9 said: I just called BC.

Simmons gave me until April 6th when I asked, which was exactly a month from the date I sent the email. So I bet they would give you a month from today if you asked.

NYMSW2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I’m very closing to accepting my offer to UPenn. I already asked for an extension that ends early April. Asking for ANOTHER would just look bad. I really want to consider BU/BC but this is cutting it really close. I wonder if their spring breaks might be affecting this process.

I called BC during their spring break and they picked up. But they have been closing a lot because of all these storms. So maybe it's that? idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
