<p>I was accepted to some great schools this year - Boston College, Villanova, Tulane, Fordham, Bentley, and Fairfield. Now I just need to decide where I will be spending the next four years of my life. I have it narrowed down to Boston College, Villanova, and Bentley, but I am still considering Fordham as well. I was provided basically no financial aid to Boston College. Likewise, none to Villanova. Nevertheless, I was awarded a half-tuition academic scholarship to Bentley as well as a spot in the honors program. As for Fordham, I was given two scholarships - totaling to almost 20k a year. I would ideally love to attend Boston College as CSOM is now ranked 9th in the business school rankings, plus I feel it has the most to offer me for the price. My choice is tough, but it would definitely help if I could receive some insight from some knowledgeable people on CC. Thanks in advance for your feedback and time.</p>
<p>If you can stomach the cost, BC is the obvious choice if your main concern is the quality of the education.</p>
<p>I was also accepted to the Bentley Honors Program and BC. I’m curious as to which program you decided to attend. I’m visiting BC tomorrow (again).</p>

While it’s good to know how well your prospective school is ranked (or has played the ranking game), you would do a big disservice to yourself to let it drive your selection decision.
