I nearly fainted looking at that - it's one of my top choices and hadn't expected to hear anything just yet. I had searched the results board and it seems in past years BC notifications have been much, much later... I'M SO NERVOUS.

I wonder if that person applied to English Lit, because they mentioned in the comments they were interested in Library Science programs. Maybe it's a mistake?

I hoped it was a mistake too, Grunty DaGnome. But now there's another one posted. Let the "I Love Lucy"-style WAHHHHHHHHHs commence... :(

Last year, my acceptance came on the exact day that they had gone out the previous year (23rd Feb) - I'd imagine a similar date for this year, although the earlier than usual rejections could suggest otherwise, I don't know...

Just show up to BC on the start date with your mailbox and inbox exploding, assuming full funding. Maybe they'd feel so bad for us that they'd accept us even if we had been rejected. :wub: (The weird face is for Valentine's Day).

Are you in C19th American, transcendental?

Here's hoping! I caved today and got it - nothing there. A relief and not a relief simultaneously!

I am, yes! I'm interested in Early and 19th C. American lit, space/place, and epistemology. Thanks for your insight about the date, wreckofthehope. I had been going over the previous results postings trying to figure out what pattern there is. We have survived another day without a letter!

Just received an e-mail letting me know I'm one of four on the waitlist. They had 200 applicants for 4 spots. Good luck!

For serious?! I almost applied to BC. Kind of glad I didn't now. Congrats on the waitlist, though!

I had heard something before about them having small cohorts. It wouldn't have been a good fit for me anyway -- BU is the place for African-Americanists (well, really Harvard is in that area, but whatevs).

This notification process seems so random... Some rejections and some waitlisters, but no (posted) acceptances. Gah!

jma - what's your area?
