BC is NOT a top school. There is no surprise ED acceptances from above avg private kids. Top private kids use BC as a backup in RD, then go to T15 /ivy instead

WTF. This thread is about BC ED results. Take your petty, loathesome antipathy somewhere where some cares.

+1000. Seriously who comes to a specific school ED thread just to shit on that school? This poster feels the need to talk down to the parents of accepted students and hopeful applicants, and to clarify for all of us that being ranked 36 out of thousands of US colleges does not mean it's a "top school."

After meeting/hearing about 15 or so other freshmen, the one thing that really came across to me was the absolute diversity at every level: majority of the kids are white, but from all over the map literally (country and world), very different socio economic backgrounds, different religions, only one is "very catholic," all in a variety of majors. Basically, no 2 kids seemed the "same". Other threads have touched on the issue that so many of our kids look the same on paper. Just from DS's large circle, it seems to me there's little overlap among them (aside from assuming that they all have course rigor in their high schools). Just my observation from a small sample.

Nice try but you know, as I do, that BC has one if the worst black student percentages in the nation: BC's percentage of black students dropped to only 6% for class of 2028.

Nice try? It’s an observation that specifically states most of the kids are white but other aspects are all varied.
What’s with the BC hate tonight?

Let me correct that for you: It’s an “observation” that attempts to portray one of the most openly racist schools as diverse.

How did you fit in 15 APs? And how did he host 2 symposiums on banned books? I’m going to call this not real. Or maybe some exaggeration, which may account for the head scratching. Of this is real- I am guessing it is the recommendations. Because the ecs listed dont seem right.

These are pretty standard "Big" ECs you see at the high school level for top school admissions. 15 APs isn't that difficult if there aren't caps at your high school.

It is a Catholic school. Not a lot of black Catholics out there. Calling a Catholic school racist is comical.

Let’s congratulate everyone who got into BC and just be glad for them. They’re kids. And there’s plenty (of acceptances, opportunities) to go around.

[Anonymous]

Agreed- it is a great school and congratulations to the accepted students!

We see the same thing all the time here...a chance to learn or, like here, revel in acceptances, for a school only to have someone with an axe to grind come in and try to crap all over it. Shrill and unbearable.

The same idiots do it to the "lesser" Ivies, BC,Michigan, Wisconsin, Northeastern, UVA, WashU, Tech, Emory, on and on and on.

I see what you did there. Seems to be a frequent occurrence recently on multiple threads.
