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?

If by "meh" you mean ranked top 40, then sure. But really, you're ridiculous to be calling any of these colleges "meh".

Also keep in mind trajectories: William and Mary has gone down and is a way easier admit than 10-20 years ago. BC has gone way up -- and is still moving up.

Funny because you literally CAN "have your cake and eat it too." Did you mean to say "can't eat your cake and have it too?" Also, you used the wrong 'to' while using the wrong saying. It's "too." This is what happens to society when we don't read. People start saying things that don't make sense and writing becomes riddled with typos.

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.

To compare BC to Georgetown and ND is a big stretch.

It's a crime. There is no comparison to be made.

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.

How would you even know about test scores for class of 29? That data hasn't yet been shared. The last CDS shared was for the class of 27, and that data showed 44% submitted test scores. 75% is an enormous number. Even Notre Dame is less than that.

And yet no one compared the 2 except for the forum's sh&t-stirrer.

BC games the system to make itself look more exclusive but it doesn't work. It is the tried and true formula...accept 2/3rds of your applicants by early decision. Those yield 100% obviously. The other 1/3rd are then picked from the vast majority of regular decision applicants, artificially lowering the acceptance rate.

There are very few colleges that take as many applicants early decision as does Boston College.

As for the comparison to Notre Dame and Georgetown...get real, that's a joke. BC is the safety for ND and Georgetown.

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

same BC basher dude comes to wreck every thread. he's tiresome

It doesn't exist. You just proved it. Plus, no school anywhere has shared 2025-2026 CDS (which would be class of 29) yet.

You're the only one trying to fake compare BC with ND & GU - you've done it on this thread alone at least 4 times. Give us a break.

If your kid is committed to computer science then probably Case Western of these three. BC is not the school for CS and William and Mary is trying but not there yet.
