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.

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

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

Always changing the metric.

No, that's not how it works. 75% of AMITTED class submitted SAT.

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.

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.

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

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.

What in the heck are you talking about? Please stop talking about women in thongs

Yeah, this was a long time ago. In the past 25+ years, BC has been much more selective than HC, and, until *maybe* the last ten years, yards ahead of Villanova. I have siblings that graduated from all three. I think the HC alumni network is the most rabid, but the BC network is enthusiastic, well-placed, and larger.

The BC network within Boston is fine but you are competing with Tufts, BU, and NEU (to say nothing of Harvard and MIT and NESCACs or Ivy graduates looking to return home), none of which is a clearly better than the others. Because so much of the higher-paying Boston job market is biotech, it is less than ideal to got to BC thinking you will stay in Boston. Maybe you work back or middle office at State Street.

Network is overrated anyways.

Not when you go to a T25 school.

This is what you get with the fancy network.

- Harvard English = $64,155
- Boston College Finance = $135,373
- Northeastern CS = $149,127

https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/

Self-reported stats are beautiful and not fraught with significant problems. Let me know the next time you fill out an alumni survey of your income and net worth 30 years out of school. If you think the BC Finance major is doing better in life than Harvard English you are a fanatic.

Stop crying. It's not self-reported. It's data from the Department of Education.
BC finance outcome is definitely better than Harvard English. You are clueless

It is self-reported. Seniors and recent college alumni are not obligated to provide the Dept. of Education their income. They are not subpoenad. Duh

Can't you even google? it took me 3 seconds.

"The College Scorecard gathers data through federal reporting from institutions, data on federal financial aid, and tax information. It also utilizes data from the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) for program-level enrollment and earnings information. The data is then aggregated and analyzed to provide metrics like graduation rates, debt levels, and post-graduation earnings."

That is a narrow set of students. Full pay students are not accounted for.

Nope. Applicant profile are at the same level in general especially NYU except for Stern.

Dream on. People go to jail to get their children into USC. People on DCUM run for the hills before paying 90k a year for mediocrity.

Data disagree with your imagination.

Only vapid LA Actors would go to jail for the University of Spoiled Children.

Do we care what daughter of Obama or son of Trump makes after graduation? Hell no.
They'll get a job by working for dad or via fancy connection. those will actually skew the data.
This eliminates the factor and provides realistic data for common people (lower, middle, upper middle class) either at Harvard or Boston College.
