[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all! Thanks for the input. Not STEM, but econ (if Colgate) or finance (if Lehigh/BC.) Reasonably high stats -- 3.92 unweighted, but mixed in with all those As is a C+ in APUSH in 11th, ughhhhh. 1500 SAT. Has consistently taken the most rigorous classes, great ECs, essays and rec letters should be strong.

We go back and forth between applying ED1 to Lehigh and probably nailing it down and being done, vs. shooting their shot at BC and Colgate -- for some reason Colgate is a tough admit from our school; 0/7 last year and 1/11 the year before.  TBH I don't think Colgate is a great fit anyway, but for some reason my son is enamored with it. We are full pay so that helps at need-aware Colgate, I guess.[/quote]

ED1 to BC - be sure to tap into "community" aspect of BC (both on campus and greater community of Boston/World) and the "educational curiosity" that Jesuits

ED2 to Lehigh

Finance at BC and the Carroll School of Management are very strong - and the BC alumni network ROCKS - not just for a first job but throughout your career.

Lehigh community on wall street is almost cult-like - they take care of their own

haven’t come across enough BC alumns on the street to have an opinion of their community and alumn help[/quote]
