There is a similar "BC law app question" thread. Idk if yall just wanna consolidate here or what, but yea I submitted like 3 weeks ago.0LawSchool wrote:Submitted my app yesterday! Anyone with me?
The Fast track is a waiver as well as an expedited decision. This is from the email: "The Boston College Fast Track Plus Program offers select candidates a fee waiver to apply to Boston College Law School. We also guarantee a decision within 10 business days of the date your file goes into review."CPAlawHopefu wrote:What is this Fast Track that people are speaking of? From what I've read, it just seems like a typical fee waiver notice. I never received it - I wonder if it was selected based on the potential applicant's merit, or just 100% random.
For those who received Fast Track email, were your LSAT and GPA above the median?
FYI, my LSAT is slightly above the median and GPA is right around the median and never got the email.

I was FastTrack, but haven't received an email or anything since I applied on 10/5. How did you find out? Congrats, by the way!taxman14 wrote:Was just accepted with scholarship info to come later (presumably in Feb?). I'm sure they'll be sending more out !
Also, was FT. If you want stats info, feel free to PM.ad34964n wrote:In!! First acceptance so this feels pretty amazing.
Just received the email around 2pm? I believe I submitted mid-Sept. Best of luck!Harry Ass Truman wrote:I was FastTrack, but haven't received an email or anything since I applied on 10/5.

Can you PM me what time were you accepted? I'm holding out hoping I get a decision tonight. Above both 75ths.christinaxcarrie wrote:In!!! Very excited, this is my first acceptance and its one of the schools I really love!!!
I felt the same way... I didn't see BC's main campus, but the law campus felt underwhelming. I only really got to see the library and free outside of the buildings though. So I'll see what comes of my application. Didn't rule it out.ashrice13 wrote:Checking in! I visited campus a couple weeks ago and I was honestly disappointed at how small it was compared to the main campus. We'll see what kind of money I get though.
I'll be applying as soon as my last LOR comes through
Agreed. I drove over to the main campus after and it was absolutely beautiful. Insult to injury.fazzvm56 wrote:I felt the same way...

It looks way nicer online and it's very small, in the middle of nowhere, and underwhelming.ashrice13 wrote:Checking in!
