Wrong. It's jesuit. You might be thinking of ND or Villanova.

BC is def having a moment at DC schools. Many area kids going there if you check the lists.

BC is nowhere near ND in any fashion- never was and never will be. It is closer to Villanova in prestige prior to Pope Leo. W&M is a bargain in comparison.

Many kids maybe going there but hardly at the top of their high school class. Similar to BU, UMiami, Nova and Wake..

BC maybe less conservative than ND, but it’s more conservative than the two other schools in the discussion. Also, more generally just white UMC suburban kids.

First question is money. Do you have a ton? If so it changes the answer. If 90k a year is nothing to you either because it is saved already or you are rich or high income then BC is the answer hands down. On the other hand if the above is not accurate go instate to W&M. CWU would lose in either case unless your kid loved it and you can afford it.

Whoever said BC is a B+ school is nuts. Have you looked at stats?

only 28% bother to submit an SAT, my brother. They take 2/3rds of their class from early decision. They're not getting the best and brightest

Aww, this brother has trouble with fractions. For BC, 3/4 submitted test scores snd averaged over 1500.

You mean 28% a little over 1/4?

Facts. BC is ranked #37. 75% submitted test scores for the class of 2029. Average SAT was over 1500. Yes, it's expensive, especially compared to a state school. Case Western reports a COA at $92,130.

Yes, stagnant at #37.

BC isn't where you go for math/science/CS.

Lot of money for a 37th ranked conservative Catholic school.

That's why it pretty much as a nonexistent CS department. Maybe to study english lit or business, but not CS. But who is going to pay $90k for an english lit degree from a "meh" college?

I don’t understand the BC hate here. Great school, gorgeous campus, strong alumni network, great location, and happy kids. What is the issue?

Probably more than a few Georgetown grads envy BC because their own campus is cramped & ugly, & their sports are weak.

Here you are again rebutting arguments no one ever claimed. BC never ever claimed to be higher ranked or "more prestigious" than ND.

Save money and go to W&M nicer weather and great history. Case is in Cleveland. BC is second level expensive Catholic university.

Why are you dragging and disparaging Georgetown into this? These are all good schools. The incessant and unnecessary tearing down of schools is tiresome.

Georgetown grads don’t look in the rear view mirror at BC. Other than women’s lax. BC’s major sports are bad.

Oh look, we can use facts instead of fakery. BC is ranked #37 and Jesuit. W&M is public and less expensive. Case is indeed in Cleveland. All are well-regarded.
