<p>i really don’t BC is a reach for you.</p>

4

<p>really, some people have said that to me, but I have a question, Since BC is a jesuit school, do you think they are impartial to non-jesuit applicants?</p>

5

<p>They’d have a tough time if they preferred only Jesuit applicants… all Jesuits are priests lol.
But I think that like any other school, BC is looking for more “diversity” so they won’t discriminate against non-Catholics.
Good luck, looks like you’ve got a good shot.</p>

6

<p>shows how much I know about the Christanity department, but I guess Catholic is what I meant, but thanks for confirming that b/c i wans’t sure!</p>

7

<p>I think BC would be a good match for you. Good luck!</p>

<p>BC is hard to tell sometimes because it keeps getting more selective each year, at a faster rate even than other schools. You’re definitely not stupid to apply, but if you get deferred, hang in there. The good side of this trend is that your BC diploma will keep increasing in value for years after you graduate as the school climbs in the rankings.</p>

<p>Thanks guys, I was pretty sure that BC would be a reach, but now I know its more of a match!!</p>
