A Gabelli scholar is one of 15 selected. It’s a 320,000 level award. You get treated like royalty and it includes choosing your dorm before anyone else.
The history of successful lawyers and political icons at BC is great.
The median SAT this year was 1460. 80 to 85 percent will have been in their top 10 percent of the class.
So half the school is similarly academically accomplished as you. The amount of top students who were denied or waitlisted this year was stunning. Just check out the results thread.
You have sports and Boston.
Head to head, all things being equal you would say Yale. As a Gabelli scholar. I’m not sure why it would be that hard to choose.
But it’s college confidential. It’s the hotbed of Ivy League or bust. I would say is ask the exact same question to 20 random adults on the street. Or in your circle. Include the details and financial component. Especially now.
Good luck and congrats. If you don’t go to BC at least you know you will have forever positively changed someone’s life by giving them your scholarship.
