[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do kids apply to any safety school? If all else fails, it could be the best available option. [/quote]
Top students shouldn’t use schools like Syracuse and BC as safeties. Even if they get in, there will be very few other strong students at the school, because the school actively turns such students away. They’d be better off at a state flagship where at least there will be top in-state kids. [/quote]

Please tell us more about BC having very few strong students.[/quote]
Please tell me how a strong student could possibly get into BC. Everyone in this thread says that their scores and grades disqualify them, because BC cares more about yield![/quote]

They get in ED1 and ED2.  By regular decision BC only takes middle-of-the-class kids from most privates.  They waitlist or decline the strongest kids. [/quote]

My 4.8 WGPA/1600 SAT MCPS magnet kid was admitted to BC.[/quote]

If a domestic student, only about 325 students in America have those qualifications.  I'm going to assume your son came from a Catholic high school and wants to study business or finance. [/quote]

Nope.  As I said, an MCPS magnet grad.[/quote]
