I was just talking to someone whose kid got into BC ED with lower than expected FA (none basically). Kid also has St Andrews in hand. The entire table of people - including a college professor in the field she'd be studying - urged her to consider St Andrews.

It takes a special kind of loserness to come onto accepted student threads and bash the school. Such posters really need to take a step back and question how they are living their life. The rest of us think you are pathetic and discount your posts.

there's BC and there's BC at 95k. Not bashing the school, bashing the price. BC is one of the few schools that is both "need blind" and "takes home equity into consideration". there are plenty of people who get into BC and don't feel good about the package and this lands toughest on the kids. IYKYK.

Again, there is something deeply wrong with you. No one needs or wants to hear your criticism of DC on an ED accepted student thread.

Nor people here care.

My DS didn’t apply to BC for several reasons, but this wasn’t one of them.

BC is a really great school. However some of the admissions / admit info given on this thread merits bashing their admissions process and the “holistic” process in general. How do they tell kids that test scores are important and then take the majority of kids TO? Why do they need to make families struggle to discern what a school wants? i don’t have a dog in the fight. But why reject a kid with a 1440 and take a TO kid probably scoring 100 points lower? Just get the whole picture and if you want to admit the low SAT kid in favor of other factors, fine. However, be honest with what you are looking for.

what's wrong with YOU. this is not an ED accepted students thread. It's a decision thread. Plenty of qualified kids got shut out for as someone else said "opaque" reasons.

$400K for a school ranked in the 35-40 range, no way.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if a family started a 529 when kids were young, don't you have this? We did, and do...It was a priority.

BC is not worth that kind of money ( full pay family). Top schools yes but Boston College is not.
