I am an international applicant for MSA program starting this Fall. I understand it takes time for admission committee to make the admission decision and that is the reason I deferred my flight ticket back to my home country just to wait for the result of BC.
However, I just got the offer and fellowship from UIUC MAS program today and they require me to reply them before April 15th, which is also the notification date of Boston College. Since the class of UIUC starts in June, I barely have enough time to get my visa interview in time if I reply them on April 15th. I really want to go to Boston College but I do need a graduate school to study too. Therefore, I want to know the result as soon as possible before I can make the decision to either accept or reject the offer and fellowship of UIUC. If you can consider my situation I would really appreciate that!
Best regards,
** 然后是bc的回复: Dear *,
Thank you for your email. Since our notification date is April 15, it might be best if you ask UIUC for an extension on your response deadline. We encourage you to proceed with your I-20 application for the time being.
Please be back in touch after you speak with UIC. We cannot guarantee a decision sooner, but we can submit the request to the Admissions Committee.
Sincerely,
Office of Graduate Management Admissions Boston College
