[quote=Anonymous]I let this article sit for a day, and I think it's fine - it really does not bother me that they have this program. It's not that different from "spring start" at BU, the guaranteed transfer program at Cornell, Harvard's Z list, and lots of colleges (Northeastern, NYU and Emory)'s start somewhere else and you can be on main campus later programs. The fact that the rich kids are paying higher tuition for a Messina-faculty taught curriculum doesn't bother me either - isn't that exactly what OOS parents are paying at state flagships throughout the U.S.? If you think there's no "backdoor" option at any university, you are incredibly naive. Everyone knows that Jared Kushner's dad bought him a spot at Harvard and Donald's dad bought him a spot at Penn. Who is to judge BC for giving 15 spots away to rich donors whose kids are willing to basically attend community college for a year?[/quote]
