Here are the official numbers for those interested.

[Facts & Figures - Boston College](http://www.bc.edu/offices/pubaf/about/facts.html)

Acceptance rate is now at 32%, last years acceptance rate was 29%. The average SAT score has gone up 10 points from 2022 to 2032. So although yield rate and sat scores have gone up a very small amount, a 3% acceptance rate is a bit more substantial. Will be interesting to see how this plays out when looking at more than just one year.

Interesting to note that graduate enrollment has decreased by 200 (about 5%).
