<p>@ Tayasaurus Well, that’s a lot of questions!
- I know that the admissions office will look at your entire transcript, particularly the rigor of your courses. I can’t say much more than that as it is hard to distill admissions into numbers
- I seriously doubt if you have not played a HS sport that you could play in college at a Division 1 school. And why would you want to? There are tons of club and intramural sports for fun and fitness. My son played 4 years of varsity tennis and could have tried to walk on at Bucknell, but instead chose club tennis for fun, without the time commitment of D1 sports.
- The fitness facilities are outstanding. Look on the website for the KLARC center. The pool is home to the PA HS swimming championships, the gym has fabulous machines etc.<br>
- BU has some distribution requirements but you can take classes in a wide range of subjects if you are a liberal arts major. In fact, that’s the whole point.
- Regarding rigor - are you taking AP or the highest level classes? If you are not, then chances are you will not be admitted. The rigor is real, but it is doable for kids who have been challenged all through HS
- Cars are not permitted for freshmen. There is no need to have one on campus, although I can see where people like having them to go home for break. But many many students spend all 4 years there with no cars needed. You can walk into town for things you need, the school has a shuttle to Walmart, there’s no real reason to leave campus.</p>
