Elite?First, you should Only attend a college that is a great fit for You, including all metrics, and being elite is Not one of them.Second, Boston College is an excellent college for the correct students, however if you had checked: Boston College - BC - The College Board you would see that Over 30% of the applicants are admitted.I tend to think of an Elite college as one that admits Less than 10% of the freshman applicants.Go Eagles!!!!

My college application process was BORING! I applied to only one school - the University of Florida. My SATs were within range, I was in-state, and had an incredible GPA. Grad school was the same - I got into Lesley College (now University) through a co-op program and never applied anywhere else.SO, since I have a senior who literally just went through the admissions process, I will share his info instead :)Stats: SAT 1510, ACT 35 (both single sitting)Subject tests: Math 2 and Physics (both 800)GPA 4.0/4.0, school rank unknown but top 5%ECs: Excellent, especially in leadership. Three sport/four season athlete, NMF, US Presidential Scholar contender, etc.Applied to 9 colleges:Safeties:WPI (accepted EA with Presidential Scholarship) - liked it here but they didn’t offer enough money so it was unaffordableUDelaware (accepted EA to Honors College, Trustee’s Scholarship, and athletic recruit) - was one of his top 5 choices, but during his recruitment visit, he sat in on classes and realized it was not a good academic fit (also, his Latin book was stolen while he was there, so there’s that…)Matches:Boston College (accepted EA) Offered great financial aid. Was his top choice from his accepted schools until Yale!Hamilton College (accepted) Originally a top 5 choice, but we never went back for a revisit and it was just too far away from anything.Colby College (accepted) Never visited but others strongly recommended he apply especially because of their very generous financial aid - was the most generous next to Yale! But they didn’t have his major so he would’ve had to study something else.Tufts University (accepted) He liked it a lot, I wasn’t a fan. Acceptance came a day after Yale, so it became a non-issue.Reaches:MIT (deferred EA, then rejected) He was disappointed, but neither I nor his advisor felt it was a good match - he’s VERY strong in STEM but he’s definitely a Liberal Arts kid. Seems they didn’t think he was a match either… Went EA bc he was being considered for recruitment.Princeton (rejected) This was the only rejection that hurt. He had a really good chance (based on his pre-read during recruitment season), and I think he might’ve been admitted EA even though the coaches couldn’t offer support. But he was worried about not being able to apply anywhere else EA because of SCEA, and since it was still a long-shot, he went with MIT and a few other schools. Thankfully, he opened Yale’s acceptance email immediately afterwards so the pain went away rather quickly :)Yale (ACCEPTED) Yale was his original top choice but he wasn’t fast enough to be considered for recruitment, which is what sunk it to #3 in terms of where to apply. However, it was his favorite campus and the only college he applied to that had his specific major (without having to double major or major/minor), so it was a HUGE win! He is DEFINITELY not heartbroken about being rejected to Princeton or MIT! Will AttendSO proud to be a Yale Mom 2022!
