Boston University


This is so damning. BC can barely beat the University of Florida or Irvine. California students rejected by Berkeley, UCLA, and San Diego dread going to Irvine.

Tom Tom,

BC is a better school, clearly, than any of the above schools — even 20 years ago. It was underrated by US News then, and it is underrated now. BC is now the clear #3 in that area, behind only MIT and Harvard. Then Tufts, then Northeastern, then BU.


You are drunk. Put the crack pipe down. I have a degree from one of the two schools mentioned (Harvard/MIT). I am in an academic at a top 20 professional school. I have literally never met a BC grad in any of my circles. Ever.


“I am in an academic”….

Who’s the drunk one?


A reasonable person would trust a drug-addled MIT grad over a phi beta kappa BC alum for any cognitively demanding task.


My apologies for assuming you’re alcohol-impaired rather than drug-addled.

OP stop trying to distract from the fact that you tried to say that BC was #3 in Boston and made references to Harvard and MIT in relation to BC. Doug Flutie is literally the most famous BC alum of all time. Put down the pipe. There are HBCUs that are more elite than BC.

I think Emory, ND, Georgetown are a different tier


Maybe or maybe not academically- but BC seems just as hard to get in. I would put it at the low end of the Emory ND Georgetown tier. BC way tougher than any of the schools above.


Holy cross is an outlier in that group.

Wash your mouth out with soap after saying BC is in the same tier as Emory ND and Georgetown. Students at those three schools made responsible decisions in high school.

So misleading to call him an alum

He’s def an alum, although I am sure he’s ashamed of it. Yale undergrad to BC law? Ouch. He must’ve been on the pipe too during undergrad. Flutie or Kerry is a wash for top BC alum ever.

Wake is “socially elite” and therefore better than BC socially? Check yourself.

“John Kerry went to BC” is true but misleading. He isn’t ashamed of it, it helped his appeal as a MA politician back when it was more of a commuter school. HLS would have been correctly perceived as elite.

What part of that statement do you take issue with? BC is not socially elite.

Suggesting that attending BC is an “irresponsible decision”? You’re an unserious person. Now go away.

Attending BC may be responsible or irresponsible depending on one’s circumstances. Responsible decision making in high school leads to better outcomes.
