[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think jesuit education is ideal for HS. For college, I appreciate it (I went to a Jesuit college). But it's also pretty white, umc, insular. I can see both sides. I wouldn't pay 95k a year.

I was just talking to someone whose kid got into BC ED with lower than expected FA (none basically). Kid also has St Andrews in hand. The entire table of people - including a college professor in the field she'd be studying - urged her to consider St Andrews. [/quote]

It takes a special kind of loserness to come onto accepted student threads and bash the school.  Such posters really need to take a step back and question how they are living their life.  The rest of us think you are pathetic and discount your posts.[/quote]

BC is a really great school.  However some of the admissions / admit info given on this thread  merits bashing their admissions process and the “holistic” process in general.  How do they tell kids that test scores are important and then take the majority of kids TO?  Why do they need to make families struggle to discern what a school wants?   i don’t have a dog in the fight.   But why reject a kid with a 1440 and take a TO kid probably scoring 100 points lower? Just get the whole picture and if you want to admit the low SAT kid in favor of other factors, fine.  However, be honest with what you are looking for.   [/quote]
