<p>Boston College is an amazing school to which most people wish they could gain acceptance. Yesterday I was walking down the street in my midwest town, and struck up a conversation with a 40ish, attractive and charming home-builder. He said he went there (way back when) and I said in awe “Oh Boston College is really hard to get into today.” When he looked at me like, did I think he was stupid, I added, it’s just that schools like Boston College are filled with people qualified to go to any of the Ivies. He said he had a great time there, despite initial disappointment being rejected from U Penn.
I do some local prospective student interviewing for my alma mater, and I can tell you, only a handful of applicants from my state got acceptance letters to my school this spring. I was really shocked by this low number. Some very impressive and outstanding high school seniors were wait-listed. </p>
<p>Congratulations on your wonderful success with admittance to Boston College. Boston is so much fun, to boot!</p>
