I don't really know if I believe in the notion of "soft reject", but since I was fully expecting to get rejected by BC (2.7, 170), the fact that I was waitlisted has me curious. Do schools even do soft rejects this late in the cycle? I sent in a LOCI and the waitlist form, but I don't know if I should be holding my breath. I would love to get in, but I don't want to ride this out into July if there isn't a lot of hope. Any thoughts would be great, especially from those on the WL or who have already been accepted. Thanks.

That is one hell of a split. Wait until they start accepting from the WL in early/mid June. You'll know from the numbers if they pass you over. My gut says you'll be accepted in the first couple of batches or not.

Hi folks. All systems are GO!

Does anyone NOT own a car? Where can I live without one?

I don't own a car and I'll be living in Allston! Woot

[scgoaliface32]

No car either and I'll be living about 1 mile north of the main campus in Brighton

[dc_lady225]

No car for me either. I'm going apartment shopping this weekend in the Allston/Brighton area and pretty excited! Anyone have any tips? Awesome realtors?

[ExcitedBlutterance]

Deposit paid... BC it is

[GobiasIndustries]

I don't have a car and I'm living in Brighton, on the B line. I talked to some people at the school who said it's totally doable, so I'm not too worried about it.

[scgoaliface32]

Does anyone know what's up with getting our school email addresses? I figured maybe after the 2nd deposit..

Is anyone planning to attend the housing fair on Friday?

Also are we supposed to get an sort of orientation packets? I haven't received any packages after sending the the second deposit, and it would be nice to know how to get ready before school starts! Or just to get some kind of response... at all.

Okay - just received an envelope from them, with stuff like immunization forms, Eagle Card application, letter that we should expect more mailings about orientation in early August, etc.

Got an email today about the Students of Color Retreat the weekend before class starts. Sounds fancy-schmancy, and free! Anyone else get this/ thinking of going?

I'm considering it

[scgoaliface32]

I've been kind of disappointed by the lack of schwag this cycle so I'll admit I'm tempted by their promise of a free t-shirt...
