[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD got accepted ED to BC and will be starting in the fall. We just got back from orientation. We are not Catholic and I really think it’s misleading that it’s a huge focus. They focus on Jesuit beliefs.  They pointed out numerous times that it is a university, not a church and don’t care if you are religious or not. Sure, there were kids there from Catholic HS, but there were just as many who were not. Service is a huge thing for BC. You need to demonstrate service to your community and the supplemental essay that’s required is a great way to show that. Also, high SAT scores 1500+ seemed to be common among kids that were accepted ED. Best of luck! [/quote]

The BC website says religious affiliation is “important” (ranked equivalent to ECs and service etc) so that sounds like a huge focus to me.[/quote]

What it says on the website and the reality are two very different things in our experience. [/quote]

It’s on the CDS. Have you found that the CDS does not reflect reality? How do?[/quote]
You’re doing this intentionally, right? Being dense? [/quote]
