Why the hate for Boston College?

This thread is pretty good evidence that there are a ton of kids who post here.

It’s just the one. And he freely admits it as he outs himself over and over.

Name one deleted post.

But they’ve been deleted …. 🤔
I’m sure you can find the locked threads on your own. Hint: look through your history.

I did not deny locked threads. They are often locked because the claims of BCs greatness become so histrionic that the school's boosters start cursing and hurling personal insults.

Name one deleted post, they should be memorable.

Their ED acceptance rate is about 35% and they use ED to fill much of the class. Given the school’s popularity, this significantly deflates the acceptance rate. 60% of admits are test optional.

It’s the school’s prerogative to run their business this way. And for many people it doesn’t matter. But these admissions games to perpetuate perception of prestige with kids, pressure kids into an ED decision, and to justify a $90k/year price tag, rubs some people the wrong way.

Around 70% of the class of 2029 submitted test scores.

The hate isn’t specific to BC- there is a lot of hate on this board for most private colleges that are not T20 (maybe even under T15) for universities and T4 for LACs.

I think it must have to do with sour grapes. Why else would some posters care so much about colleges their own kids don’t even attend?

Threads were deleted because you go beyond any reasonableness. The threads were locked because of multiple posts reporting your bully, complete takeover of threads and YOU calling students DERANGED and INSANE and dissing low income and first gen students and some insanity about thongs and cow manure. But mostly your sad, illogical posts and responses to yourself. Bully for you.

75% submitted test scores with average SAT over 1500 and a 12% acceptance rate.

I think this hate is mostly from Emory/WUSTL parents who are nervous that there is not much that distinguishes #20 on USNWR and #40.

I think a reputation score of 3.8 and 4.2 is substantial. The 0.4 difference between BC and Emory is the same as Emory and UChicago. If BC and emory are peers so is Emory and UChicago.

They care because their kids go to elite schools and do not appreciate BC boosters saying they are in the same bucket as someone who got into Dartmouth. It isn't everyone's dream to go to BC.

I don't know of a single deleted thread. You sound unhinged, talking about thongs. Let's keep this appropriate.

It is substantial. People in academia do not hold BC in high regard, unlike Emory. Especially in an increasingly STEM-focused economy and education system, having the CDC and the research associated with it is a big asset. BC is too late to the ball to catch up with STEM, even against NEU and BU.

Maybe but they admitted more test optional. 60%

Those are not the ones accepted. 60% accepted were test optional.

YOU talked about/invented the lady in a thong outside of a bar in another attempt to bash BC just this week. Do your own search if you can’t remember.
