Hey guys! So, I'm really interested in applying to Boston College, but I don't have much information regarding their admission rate. Could someone please tell me how competitive the admissions process is and what the acceptance rate is like? Thank you so much!
Hi there! Boston College is definitely a competitive school, but don't let that discourage you from applying. In recent years, the overall acceptance rate at Boston College has been around 15-20%.
To maximize your chances of acceptance, make sure to highlight your academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, and any unique experiences that will help you stand out as an applicant. Boston College uses holistic admissions, which means they'll look at all aspects of your application when making a decision, so don't rely on any single credential to get you in on its own.
