Keller65 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Applicants: Anyone else get a letter from them this week (or NOT get a letter)? What was in it (my friend has to send it to me)? Edited January 28, 2010 by Keller65
NEPA Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) I've heard nothing from BC so far. If they sent it to me, it could be waiting in my mailbox on campus. (Our semester doesn't start til 2/1, so I haven't been around there this week to check it.) Edited January 29, 2010 by rwfan88
Keller65 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 I've heard nothing from BC so far. If they sent it to me, it could be waiting in my mailbox on campus. (Our semester doesn't start til 2/1.) Check your decision status (if you remember the info). It may say "decision letter sent". Curious if other people got this.
NEPA Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Just checked the Applicant Status page through Agora. Nothing's changed - it still only lists what materials they've received. According to the Results from last year, BC sent out at least some acceptances around February 1. Edited January 29, 2010 by rwfan88
plisar Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Why not just have your friend open it for you?
yellowshoes Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) I checked my online status as well and it still lists the documents received. Does yours simply say a letter has been sent, wihtout listing the documents anymore? Please let us know what your letter says! Hopefully you will be one of the lucky first admits! Oh, and what's your subfied!? Edited January 29, 2010 by yellowshoes
Keller65 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Or maybe you all have made it in and I have an early rejection! I'm emailing tomorrow. Will let you all know. Edited January 29, 2010 by Keller65
Keller65 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) I fear I was correct -- rejection. Congratulations -- you have all been admitted! Edited January 29, 2010 by Keller65
NEPA Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I'm sorry to hear about the rejection. BC has a notoriously small cohort, so it could have come down to which professors had gotten grad students recently, or any number of factors that are outside of our control. I hope you get some good news soon! As for me, I won't assume anything until I hear from BC. My Applicant Status page still says something like "we look forward to reviewing your application" and lists my documents. I dunno.

yellowshoes Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I fear I was correct -- rejection. Congratulations -- you have all been admitted! Are you serious!? That's terrible! I looked at the results from last year and it seems that BC sends out its rejections first... maybe we should all hope for no news for a while. Although I didn't see any admits from the results page... so what's up with that? Who knows! This is exhausting!

Odd that they send out rejections before acceptances -- usually the other way around. No news is good news (for now), yellowshoes!
yellowshoes Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 New information from me. I logged into Agora today and under status it still lists all the documents but at the bottom says "decision letter has been mailed". Given the recent news on this board I am very, very nervous. One interesting thing, though, is that it also says (above all of the recieved documents) under Required Documents "Final Bachelors Transcript". It may have said that the whole time, but I never noticed it before. Does anyone else's say that? Also, Keller65, did yours say that? I can't imagine why they would want my final transcript if they were rejecting me, but as I said, it may have always said that or it may say that when they mail letters regardless of result. Any insight anyone!?

That's what I was afraid of. They should be more compassionate and leave the whole "send us your final blah blah" off the thing. Oh well, back to working on my back up plans! P.S. Did you e-mail the department to ask, or just have your friend open the letter? I'm thinking about just trying to get it over with. Edited February 1, 2010 by yellowshoes

Met with silence from the department, a firm "no" when requesting the decision from the graduate school via email.
yellowshoes Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I did. Met with silence from the department, a firm "no" when requesting the decision from the graduate school via email. Ouch. So the department just didn't respond? Was that a "no, you didn't get in" from the grad school or a "no, we aren't telling you"? Schools should just e-mail everyone. So much easier on us!

yellowshoes Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 They refused to tell me. No amount of cajolery prevailed! UGH! That's awful. I guess they get tired of that, though. I wish someone would come forward with a BC admit if there are any yet! I would like to know if there status pages were any different so I could be sure I was out. I sort of the think BC calls it's 5 lucky ones, though. I mean, why wouldn't they, it's only 5 people.
NEPA Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 For what it's worth, my Agora page hasn't changed. I'm not even gonna start trying to guess. I agree that BC may very well call; the only acceptance for BC listed on the Results page, for what that's worth, was done by phone.
yellowshoes Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Haven't gotten my beautifully awful letter yet. (It was mailed on Monday.) Anyone else hear anything from BC yet? And status page updates? I'm anxious to see who get in, even without me.

yellowshoes Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Got my rejection letter about a week ago. Sorry to hear that. Wonder who they are going to accept. Hopefully you'll get into some other great schools! As for me, its not looking good as BC was the lowest ranked school to which I applied. But it is private, so maybe there's a bit of hope elsewhere.
NEPA Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I still haven't heard anything from BC and my status online hasn't changed. My luck, though, it's just that my rejection letter was just on the bottom of the pile.

Well, if BC is following trends, it seems that they sent out the first set of rejections last monday, the next set this monday, and so hopefully they will send out acceptence letters this coming Monday and yours will be one of them! They may take a week per cycle. Edited February 4, 2010 by yellowshoes
