<p>Deat bronovan : The Honors Program IS the “Top 5%” of the admitted class. remember, when 85% of the admitted class is in the “Top 10%” of their High School class, one quickly realized that the “Top 10%” in High School is all about admissions into Boston College which is a necessary but insufficient condition for the Honors Program.</p>
<p>As a datapoint, I would highly question your assertion that a 2010 “made” the Honors Program as a freshman. (Possibly as a sophomore with a demonstrated track record in freshman year?) There had to be something incredible - off-the-chart - in the associated essay.</p>
