[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RD at BC is hard and they 1000% yield protect. From our school they will take deferred ED kids with a 3.5 and reject the 3.95 kids who end up at HYP.

I actually think this is great---love the kids who love you---but just an FYI!![/quote]

[b]Only 711 enrolled freshman submitted an SAT out of 2,394 total.[/b]  [b]350 freshman students out of 2,394 have above a 1500 SAT at BC, or only 14%.[/b]

1,434 are taken ED.  So 60% of the freshman class are taken early decision.

A 1500 SAT scorer applying ED has a very high chance of admission to the point you would call it a safety/target.

This is so very misleading. You can't use the total number enrolled as the denominator because not all of those took the SAT. Some took the ACT and some did not submit. 45% of those enrolled submitted test scores (either SAT or ACT). That's not ideal, but when you say only 14% scored 1500 on the SAT using the total enrolled as the denominator, that is just plain stupid. You have to use the number who actually tested (711) as the denominator, and that would make it 49% getting 1500 or more on the SAT.

I can see math isn't your strongpoint.[/quote]
