Chance me Northwestern ED

[Illinoisparent12]

To me, their best bet would be to apply to BC along with their Hail Mary’s. Awesome finance. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a Private Equity, Asset Management, Family Office or other finance firm in Boston and BC has a pipeline into all of them.

I don’t believe that BC is that much less of a Hail Mary than some of the other schools mentioned. It had a 12.6% acceptance rate last year. That includes its ED acceptance rates which is usually above 30%. So, RD acceptance could closer to 10% or under. And, looking back at some of the prior BC threads, you’ll see quite a few near 4.0, 1500+ students with high course rigor and great ECs getting rejected in the regular decision rounds. BC may be a little bit of an easier admit than Northwestern/Michigan/NYU, but not so much so that adding it to the list significantly mitigates this student’s risk of not getting an acceptance.
