Good luck becoming a MD (medical doctor or managing director, either works) with that sense of priorities.

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.

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.

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

“Socially elite”. What a dumba$$

Looks like we have a Catholic Memorial alum here. Have fun budgeting for TGIF dinners with the family

If you do drugs and flunk chemistry (non-honors), then it may be okay to go to BC. If you were a star student, then it is a bad decision to attend.

Crucifixes in the classroom but more focused on football and lacrosse and what car you park in the lot. Then there are the other Catholic schools that are like Opus Dei training grounds for Federalist Society members to raise their kids as if the New Deal was Stalinism.

Wife went to Catholic school through eighth grade but it was really low key. I get the impression that there’s CUA for ideological Catholics and maybe one or two others like it. Then ND, BC, for the sports obsessed Catholic sub-WASP-elites.

Are there any others for like, Catholics who want a place where their kid might be able to go to Mass on campus without becoming culture warriors or campuses where there’s more to being young male and Catholic than just jock culture?

I think you dismiss the places you say are for "sports obsessed Catholic sub-WASP-elites". There will certainly be some people who fit that category at ND, BC, Georgetown, etc. but there will also be social-justice/Jesuit spirituality Catholics. That vibe is also strong at Fordham, Loyola, etc.

You’ve jumped the shark.

Hysterical, fact check TRUE

I'd say Tip O'Neill is much more famous that Doug Flutie. . . . .

BU, BC, Tufts are obvious. Outside of Boston it’s below ND, Gtown but above holy cross and Villanova and Provence college. Maybe peers to Colby, bates, and grinnell for SLAC.

I would add Tulane

No Tulane moved down to 73 on the ranking list

It was 63 this year, but whatever.

Wow, I had to check the new rankings. BC cannot even top the super prestigious U. Illinois Urbana-Champaign and is barely above OSU. It must be super competitive to get in with the most amazing career outcomes and alumni body.

You are clearly infirm and almost certainly barreling down the sorry road to death. If only nature could hurry up.

You’re really going to denigrate any schools in the top 2-3% in the US? You’re definitely a troll.

I will denigrate any claim that BC is elite, academically (comparisons to NYU, Georgetown, USC etc.) or socially (comparisons to Wake Forest). Some people are meant to be nurses and hack attorneys who wear polos to the office on Monday, BC is a good fit for them.

Can you imagine any of the Clintons bickering about college tiers and peer lists on a Friday night? Let me let you in on a little secret the people above you are too polite to let you hear: you are trash.

The amount of BC shilling here is effing unreal. If no one here is paid by admissions I’d be floored.

I don't think it's that. BC is a genuinely good school and it's difficult to get into. That sense of community is extremely appealing to a lot of 17 year olds today.

I think the older people here really underestimate how important vibe and friendliness are for today's applicants. BC does really well there.

They attract social elites in their respective cities. BC does not attract Boston’s elite, laughable to think it does.
