It marks a dangerous time in higher education when what to any non-biased observer is a tier 3 school gets 28,000 apps. One article calling it a member of the "new Ivies" and suddenly it is Harvard #2. The faculty is no different, the resources are not better, than in prior years it is simply that demand has increased. The best schools are the best schools; simply getting more apps does not improve an institution. No slight intended, I have a masters from another well regarded Jesuit school, but BC is simply not a great school. I am concerned that the mission of Jesuit schools to serve the greater good will be diminished once the school is filled with academic superstars. These students who thought they would get in tier 1 schools will surely realize that in order to get into the best grad schools from a Boston College they will have to be in the top .5% of their class (it is not a great feeder school) and the environment will become extremely competitive.

What happened? Am I the only person that was waitlisted and got a low 1300 SAT score? This is crazy. Everybody else waitlisted got at least a 1400. I guess they really liked something.

BC a tier 3 school? And to go to grad school you'd have to be in the top 0.5%? You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
