Wow, really?! My kid has similar stats and loved BC but I figured it wasn't worth applying. Is your kid very strong in another area?

3.98, 1570, 15 APs by grad, applied for English and rejected. He's very bummed, but we're ready to kick back into the next college.

They are quite excited and are looking forward to it.

DC private---BC went solidly into the B+ student range this year. This is encouraging. Maybe it will be a trend.

BC is now test-recommended. If your scores are close, consider submitting.


BC still admits fewer than half of its freshmen TO. Be careful of going TO if you attend a resource-rich high school and/or come from a high socio-economic environment. Landscape and other programs provide granular neighboorhood data to admissions.


How granular?! Zip code or actual street/neighborhood?


Census tract, I believe. But to the larger point, as the results posted here show, plenty of kids from affluent backgrounds get in TO. In fact it may be easier for kids from known high schools to get in TO. BC knows exactly what your grades mean at SJC. If you’re applying from a relatively unknown high school, you might need scores to validate your grades.


Please clarify that this is all conjecture.

DP. The PP's conjecture applies to top colleges broadly.

BC is test-recommended.

Congrats everyone accepted and hang in there to those who were deferred- you never know! This time of year can be rough between ED/EA decisions and finals. Be kind to yourselves and to each other!

How does admission know about student's socio-economic environment if attending public school?

Our College Counselor suggests sending scores for competitive programs (engineering,other STEM, nursing). So TO may depend on selected majors at many of these schools.
