Easiest Way to get in?

Younger D graduated from LSOE this spring and while I agree that it is probably easier to get into BC thru LSOE, I would be cautious doing so. She had several friends that applied the LSOE way and they did not get accepted and they had better grades and higher SAT scores than she did. She was very nervous that they would take her “spot” and that they were just trying to get into BC any way possible, while she had a genuine interest in education and Lynch. She did show, thru her application, high school courses and after school activities that she was indeed interested in pursuing a degree in education, while the other applicants did not, so my guess is that those that make the decisions on acceptances are wise to those who apply the LSOE route, if you are not really interested in a career in education and human development. I agree with XX55XX that it is very hard to transfer into CSOM, but several of her friends were able to transer into A&S without problems.
