| How To Upload Documents At Boston College |
Step 1: Choosing Your Weapon (Not Literally, Please)
There are two main ways to upload documents at BC, each with its own level of sass.
The Online Portal: This bad boy, located at [dramatic music swells] www.bc.edu/finaidupload, is where you'll unleash your financial aid documents. Think of it as your digital vault, except hopefully less dusty and with better Wi-Fi.
The Common App: For all you application warriors, the Common App is your battlefield. Just navigate to the thrilling "Supporting Materials" section and prepare to upload your transcripts, teacher evaluations, and that epic essay that'll leave the admissions officers speechless (hopefully in a good way).
Remember: Whichever platform you choose, make sure your documents are in PDF format. Uploading a rogue Word doc or a selfie (no judgment, but it won't get you into Calculus) is a recipe for disaster.
Step 2: Uploading with Flair (Because Why Not?)
Now that you've chosen your weapon, it's time to unleash your inner document-uploading ninja!
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
Be Size-Conscious: These online portals have a limit on how big your files can be. Think of it like a carry-on bag situation: only pack the essentials (no ten-minute cat videos, please).
Label Like a Boss: Don't be that student who uploads a document titled "MysteryFile123.pdf." Give your files clear and descriptive names, like "Official Transcript_JohnSmith.pdf" or "TeacherRec_MsJohnson_Literature.pdf." This will save you (and the admissions officers) a world of frustration.
Click with Confidence: Once you've selected your perfectly sized and labeled document, click that upload button with the swagger of a champion. There you go! You've just conquered the digital document frontier.
Bonus Tip: Hit refresh after uploading just to make sure everything went smoothly. You wouldn't want your financial aid dreams to be dashed by a rogue internet hiccup.
Step 3: Celebrate Your Victory (Because You Deserve It!)
You've done it! You've uploaded your documents like a pro. Now, go forth and conquer the rest of your application (or tackle that mountain of laundry, we won't judge).
Pro Tip: Reward yourself with a celebratory dance party (air guitar solo optional).
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
