Mom2, they do come up with more than 15 at least in some years, I know. They do not necessarily have the top scores. I know a number of recipients over the past 15 years, and know many who were passed up for the awards with close to perfect scores the same years others got the award without such stats. A good friend of mine and former teacher to my son has a DD who got the award, and though she is very good student, she was no where near the top in terms of stats or even in the whole package as I know many BC accepted kids that year who were. But she was from the Midwest and the other kids were from the NYC area, and BC gets so many apps from here. About 10% of my kids’ schools were accepted to BC.

Also, the award used to be half tuition. Things change, so it is important to check on what is current with schools.
