linabina Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Congrats to everyone who has heard back from their schools! I'm still waiting for a response after some serious delays due to transcript misfilings :/ BC is my top choice and I'm growing anxious. Did anyone here apply to BC part time and hear back? Positive thoughts/vibes appreciated
HB824 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 They said the earliest we would hear from BU would be March 15

taracot Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 BC gave me a scholarship! I'm officially going next year! I can't wait!

taracot Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Does anyone know if submitting BC's graduate financial aid application affects your scholarship amount at all? I filled out my FAFSA before applying but haven't sent in BC's own application in yet. I will do that tomorrow. Edited March 12, 2017 by taracot

Then I simply asked if I could possible be reconsidered for a higher scholarship amount Hey, I wanted to ask you: how long did it take for the dean to respond to your email about reconsidering the scholarship? I actually emailed him a few days ago because Michigan raised my scholarship amount and I wanted to see if BC could possibly match it. Only problem is that I have to accept/deny Michigan's scholarship by the 15th, and I don't know if he'll have time to reply by then. How long did you have to wait?

I don't think it does since you get the scholarship from the school of social work & not from the financial aid office. I know the scholarship amount is taken into account when they're considering financial aid. And you still have time to hand in your grad school financial aid form since the deadline is April 18th.

Long enough that I had pretty much completely lost hope about getting a response haha.

Is the financial aid form online? I looked and it was the one for the previous year. Do I just mail it in to them?

I mailed mine in last week, but I'm still waiting for them to process it and upload it as received.

tuxedobird10 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Hey guys! I sent in my deposit to Boston College and will definitely be attending in the fall. I'm really excited because I love the program and I've started applying for assistantships. Has anyone started looking at housing? Specifically where can we find roommates?
linabina Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I was just accepted at BC!!! Found out via email today, even though when I called last week they said they had mailed out my decision. I'm waiting to hear back on financial aid, but almost certainly will be attending their macro program. Yay!!! tuxedobird10 1
