BU is more diverse and for kids who want/like an urban campus. Think NYU.

They are just two very different schools and attract different types of kids.

Not sure if BC being harder to get into deserves a "+1000". Looks like BU regularly has a lower acceptance rate. For HS class of 24, it was a 11% v 15%.

I think that was the point — it said BC isn’t much harder to get into.

BU is sometimes a safety for BC. I agree that they pull different students but some Mass kids want to stay in Boston.

It's more likely that a kid who applies to BC/BU doesn't apply to BU/BC, respectively. One is not a safety for the other.
