<p>i heard through the grapevine (i.e. considerably unreliable sources) that boston college does not appreciate unique students as much as other schools. as in, they like numbers, maybe ethnic or geographic diversity, and that’s it… they don’t seek out the quirky kids or the super-talented-in-one-area ones. </p>
<p>how do we feel about this? true or not?</p>
<p>From personal experience, this rumor is complete bullcrap. I have seen many students with high SATs scores there were turned down in favor of students of lower score and but have something about them. You can look at some of the older admitted-students stats thread and discover for yourself.</p>
<p>um i think lately there have been some diversity issues on the campus…so they may change their way of thinking. it’s what i heard from a friend at bc.</p>
