They are quite excited and are looking forward to it.

Good bot!

This is Rey unexpected, I would take another look at his essays and recommenders to make sure they are ok. What are his extracurriculars?

Those are good stats, I wonder if this is yield protection

Wow. Amazing that he got rejected with these stats. Public or private?
Good luck for ED2 or RD!

Agree. This exceptionally weird for a male English major.

It has to be yield protection or something off with his application. I would run everything by a college counselor. Good luck! He'll land somewhere great.

No yield protection in ED round, kid has already agree to attend.

No yield protection with ED decisions. They are binding

oh. good point.

I would run his app by someone in the field. It's probably bad luck but maybe there is some red flag.
Good luck!

Again, use your head, no yield protection in ED round.

Deferrals for 'sure things' are common yield protection tactics in T1-T30s. Schools that know you will come--legacy, first choice, counselor tells them first choice, etc. will often yield protect to pick up other qualified kids in the early rounds. It certainly happens. But, rejection is not a yield protection.

Yes. DS was accepted with almost exact same stats RD two years ago. Lots of very smart kids with high stats at BC now. Much more competitive admit and rigorous experience than it was 10 years ago.

BC is now test-recommended. If your scores are close, consider submitting.

BC still admits fewer than half of its freshmen TO. Be careful of going TO if you attend a resource-rich high school and/or come from a high socio-economic environment. Landscape and other programs provide granular neighboorhood data to admissions.

How granular?! Zip code or actual street/neighborhood?

Census tract, I believe. But to the larger point, as the results posted here show, plenty of kids from affluent backgrounds get in TO. In fact it may be easier for kids from known high schools to get in TO. BC knows exactly what your grades mean at SJC. If you’re applying from a relatively unknown high school, you might need scores to validate your grades.

My kid is at a 'feeder Jesuit HS' that sends many kids to BC. Kid was told last year that 35 ACT was the tipping point. He was in RD with that last cycle. BC has gotten increasingly more competitive.

That may happen, but it isn’t yield protection.
