Myths from post 1?

Like it’s a safety? Yes, if you get in - no if you’re the 89% who didn’t - and if you got in RD, you’re a true stud.

Myth #2 - a budget Cornell - I suppose if you are full pay and got merit aid. But there are likely kids in at Cornell, and rejected at BU.

Myth #3 - it’s easy - likely every school has easy classes. The students aren’t too bright? Well they got into BU.

The myths - not sure why the student wrote that - maybe insecure - but I thought it was a silly email in that sense of - would I choose the school?

Internships will be up to the student, moreso than the school. Even at Cornell (a school in one of the myths), most kids are finding internships on company websites, indeed, and linkedin - that’s directly from their career center.

You can ask BU for a detailed career outcome report - but I think your concerns based on the myths are unwarranted.
