Has Anyone Been Waitlisted for Transfer at Boston College?

If you've been through the transfer process at Boston College, did you get waitlisted? What was your experience, and did you end up getting in? It would be great to hear any tips on handling the waitlist.

While I can't provide a personal account of being waitlisted at Boston College as a transfer student, I can offer some insight into the waitlist process based on what many others have experienced.

Being waitlisted can certainly be a stressful situation because it puts you in a state of not knowing, but it's also important to remain optimistic. Being waitlisted does not mean you will get rejected, it just means that your application was strong enough to be considered for admission, but the school is waiting to see how their class fills up with admitted students before they make a decision.

As far as tips for handling the waitlist - the first thing you should do is send a letter of continued interest to the school, expressing why you're still interested in attending Boston College. This extra effort displays your dedication and can sometimes have a positive impact on the school's final decision.

Also, keep your options open and don't forget about other applications you've submitted. If you receive acceptance letters from other schools, don't immediately dismiss them. Even though Boston College might be your first choice, it's important to examine all your options.

Lastly, keep in mind that many students do get in off the waitlist at various schools. The numbers can vary greatly from year to year, so it's hard to predict what your chances are. But having hope can make the wait a bit easier. Good luck!
