Any Word from Boston College?

Someone on Yuster posted an acceptance via mail on 2-14-08... I haven't heard anything but had my application complete there since September 5th. Has anyone else heard anything.

I haven't heard anything yet either.

Has anyone been rejected (I saw one rejection posting)? I know one other applicant who called and was told s/he was on a very small waitlist that could very well move. I have not yet called, but still have not heard anything and wanted to ask around the cafe before sucking it up and e-mailing the director of grad studies myself.... Thanks!

Hi VandyCandy,

I was the one posting the rejection last week. I e-mailed Carol like two days before getting the thin envelope and she said that all decisions were going out that day via post (but the acceptees were already contacted). I guess you should call if you haven't gotten any news, perhaps you are waitlisted.

Not only am I waitlisted, but I was told I am at the top of my subfield's waitlist. They took 5 of 127. I e-mailed the graduate chair and he said they usually yield 75 percent and take 1 from the WL but no guarantee. In response to my question regarding whether they take the best overall applicant on the WL or go by subfield the answers became a bit more hazy...

And the wait begins. Anyone know what happens if you accept program A and sign on say April 14th and then get off a waitlist elsewhere on April 16th? Quite frankly I'd be happy at either program... but just curious.
