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.

Wash your mouth out with soap...? Who's the philistine now? Sounds like a poverty stricken hick got a lucky break from an admissions officer interested in economic diversity. Take a sewing needle to your ego and as you listen to the air hiss out ask yourself what/who broke you so completely. Sad.

BC's vibe is one of gouche characteristics and striver mentality. Will never be socially prestigious.

Socially prestigious like...Colby......?

Someone summering on Vinalhaven or spending the winter in Palm Beach is far likelier to be associated with Colby than BC and it isn’t close. Saying you went to BC in these circles is like saying you’re slamming your maid, it’s just not done.

I haven't heard of people splitting hairs like this... if Colby is an elite school any school could be

Colby is more elite than BC.

NP. LACs vs mid-size universities are apples and oranges for prestige.

These two schools are very different on so many factors, size, school culture, location, etc.

Way better alumni network coming out of BC.

Ignoring the BC food fight from a few posters, back to OPs question.

BC's peers from an admissions selectivity perspective are the private colleges ranked 30ish to 50ish or so with acceptance rates less than 25%. Thinking NYU, BU, Tufts, Wake Forest, Northeastern, etc.

Basically, selective privates outside the T25.

You can say Harvard is more elite than Williams, despite both being very different. Likewise, you can compare Colby and BC.

BC has more alumni to contact, but also so many undergraduates to compete with. The quality of your average and median Colby alum is higher than your average BC alum. Unless a PE teacher at a suburban middle school is who you want to meet at alumni events.

Remove NYU and it is accurate. NYU is a cut above BC.

Yes, not many selections in the first place, and it's obvious.

For NYU, it's a school with wider spectrums.
Stern is definitely T25 level. CAS with 7% acceptance rate, you can argue it's a bit cut above BC.
However colleges like Steinhardt or Professional Studies are actually a bit cut below BC overall.

In terms of scores, yes Steinhardt may not be as strong. There is no question NYU blows BC out of the water for students interested in the arts.

It’s somewhat amusing and tenable when you are advocating for Harvard over NYU. When you have this schtick and argue for BC over NYU, you sound like a 14 year old who says “poor” and “peasants” because he once met a student from Landon and wanted to emulate him.

What is amusing and tenable is your hair splitting. No difference between NYU and BC. Who do you work for?

There is no difference between NYU and BC. Neither are "elite", neither come close. Very strange take

BC is in no.mans land territory. Honestly is about as prestigious as Georgia Tech or Tufts. All three are respected in certain fields but as a whole they're near the top of the 2nd tier. BC has surprisingly good investment banking placement better than Vanderbilt WashU, Rice, UT. Slightly below Emory/Notre Dame.

In what sense? More does not equal better when they have different focuses. Colby is a liberal arts college, so it doesn’t even have a lot of the degrees BC. If you were to compare across the liberal arts, they really aren’t that much different.
