You’re wrong. Most of DS’s HS students who attended BC, for all the years that data is available, applied early decision. So by definition most had BC as their first choice.

You are correct but the BC haters can’t handle the truth.

Most people reading this won’t see BC haters. They’ll see rabidly closed minded idiots twerking for BC over 17+ pages

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.

Distinctive
I don't know what Colby is like but I wouldn't deign to a lesser place because of travel habits...
Colby, cheddar jack, all the same to me

Colby is a typical SLAC. Nothing special. Not particularly rigorous. They have plenty of boarding school alumni from prominent families there.

Colby is not rigorous as far as the students that attend its an easier acceptance from virginia privates than BC, and BC in RD is not too difficult--Easier than Emory and Wake in RD, around the same as WM or UVA in state

It is as rigorous as BC. It is a more high class school. Fewer greaseballs.

Are these including data from BC’s EA years? You can only be sure if BC is their true top choice when all these three schools are doing EA.

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.

Nothing wrong with that.

They’re wrong, because your school has students that want to go to BC? What’s your point?

Pp was “sure” most BC students had Georgetown/ND as first choice. There’s actual years of data from a high school where all 3 of these schools are very popular and get scores of applications each year. For all the years of data, most kids choosing BC, choose it as their first choice (over ND/Georgetown).

Yes but that’s anecdotal. I’m sure there’s someone’s school where the opposite is very true. Also Scoir or Naviance doesn’t show “first choice” or what school the accepted student ended up at. This is just speculation.

Nothing wrong with that.

The first term would have to be 35 national universities and 20+ SLACs then. BC can’t even beat Illinois and UF in rankings.

Different cohorts - public vs private.

Pro tip for BC lovers: other schools don’t have 18+ pages of back and forth and ridiculous arguments. You may think BC is the greatest place on Esrth but if you want to convince anyone of that, you should start smaller. Saying “it isn’t as good as NYU but it is close. I think it isn’t unreasonable to group it with NYU Tufts and maybe Emory” is the reasonable approach. Comparing it to WUSTL, Vanderbilt, and even MIT on here is delusional. A normal reader of this blog will realize there’s something very off and weird about BC if it inspires this much conversation.

Is Berkeley better than Northeastern? Or are they different cohorts and can’t be compared?

lol if you think BC comes out of this thread looking normal and desirable

There’s no hatred for BC here. People are just trying to assess their belief of where Boston college lands.

It’s time to shed this cult of personality where anyone who disagrees with you is some fanatic hater.

All this thread shows is there are 1-2 trolls bored during winter break stirring up ish about BC to see how far they can take it.

BC’s peer group is around Georgetown, WUSTL, Princeton, and UCLA. Very strong college and up there with the best!
