BC or BU Hopefuls? Fall 2013

I def. had all my things in way before 1/15 and I got an e-mail I was in the priority category but my application complete date keeps changing one time it said 1/18, one time it said 2/2 and most recently it says 2/7....I don't know why that is happening....

Mine is the same! I received an email saying my application was complete on Jan 18th. I had checked the online form, too, and everything seemed fine. When I looked at it today, though, it said my application was complete on Feb 7! I called the admissions office to ask about the inconsistencies and all the receptionist could tell me was that I would probably be hearing back soon. Frustrating/confusing to say the least!

HEY! Don't fret! I just got a voicemail from the Dean of Admissions saying "He had good news about my application." Hope it's not that it's complete....hahah!

Does anyone know much about Boston College? Campus? Location? Pros? Cons? I'm trying to narrow down my choices. Thanks!

I think BC has a BEAUtiful campus. I love the camus and I love boston. The biggest con about boston is it's expensive to live there (But, I have lived in Michigan for the last 3 yrs so I'm spoiled with a low cost of living...when I think about he damage it will do to my wallet going back east...I get very sad).

Otherwise, I think the biggest con of BC itself is its huge price tag!

I've heard through a couple people who lived in Boston that BC doesn't have a graduate school feel to it. Would you agree? I'm trying to decide whether BC is a better choice or NYU. :/

I got in! I spoke to the associate dean yesterday. He didn't have any info on scholarships or any word on my application for the School of Public Health (applied for MSW/MPH concurrent program) but I should get a packet in the mail this week. Woohoo!

I just sent my letter of intent to accept an offer of admission to BU's online program; although I'm based in Washington, DC, I will definitely visit Boston throughout the program and hope to meet and keep in touch with lots of on-campus students!

I called back today and I was accepted. Dean said that any info on funding/aid should come by the end of the week (hopefully).

Congrats to all and gluck to everyone waiting!

I guess they didn't process my withdrawal e-mail. I got in to BU and they've given me the most funding out of every school I've applied to so far... 

ha ha! Well at least you got some $$ though...BU didn't give me anything :( -- There are my number 1 choice, but I don't think I'll be going bc it's just too expensive so I might continue to work a couple more years and see if I can't try again down the road.

Yea I also just got in, but no money!  I got money to another school so I may see if they'll match it.

good luck! i'm still waiting on decisions from other schools, so i don't think I'm going to make their 2 week decision timeline anyway, which I hear is pretty firm since they get so many applicants. Oh well, I'm humbled to have been accepted so i should be happy with that.

I'm in the same position. I have only heard from BU so far and I don't think I'll hear back from my other schools soon enough to accept their offer. It's exciting to get in, though! Congrats!

Hey all! I also just got accepted to BU. I am SO excited, but a little nervous given they need a decision by March 1. It is definitely one of my top choices, but I need to see about funding and decisions from other programs I'm excited about before feeling totally confident in a decision. Ahhh!

I visited BU today and liked it a lot more than I expected to.  Definitely going to make my decision a lot harder. 

 

Question- people who applied to BC- how long did it take you to hear?
