Congrats! Hopefully it came with a fat scholarship!
No mention of scholarship :( Does that email come later? BU gave me 105K, so I'd be surprised if they stiffed me.

It comes later. Mine came a little over a month later, but I think most people get it around 2 weeks later?

Lsat=75 and gpa > than median. I honestly can't make sense of it.

Does anyone have advice on what to do?

I really hope so, BC is my top choice and I thought this was somewhat of a safety but I really don't know now. Is there a thread on this site that pertains to LOCI and what is supposed to be in them?

Ya I was waitlisted with a 165, 3.5. No idea how that happened. Significant money from ND and GW as well. Plus my dad is a BC alum!

BC seems to have been a bit hasty with some of their WL choices. I am basing this off zero factual evidence whatsoever but I'm thinking this might mean a lot of aceptances off the WL once all of the regular admissions are done.

Thanks! :) I submitted late January. I also received an email earlier this week informing me that my file was under review and a decision would be made shortly.

Anyone going to go to the alumni reception in NYC next week? I guess it's never too early to start networking.

If I get in I'm 99% going to BC. LSN gives me a good chance. LSAT above 75th. But the weird WL decisions worry me.

I was in with a 164, 3.33 with 65k. you'll get in off the waitlist. write a loci.

Yeah, I'm pretty set at this point. Waiting to hear back from BU (Applied end of November..), but my mind is essentially made up. BC seems to have a lot of things going for it, everything that matters anyways.

Is it common practice in Boston to not rent studios to 2 people? My SO and I will be living together next year and had scheduled some viewings but the realtor just cancelled saying he can't rent studios to two people.

Anybody take over a month to go in review after going complete? I'm not sure if this is normal, or if I should email admissions at this point.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
