<p>I am torn because I am not a big fan of "Gay dances" or "gay youth groups" and "party-boy fraternies" at W&L. </p>
<p>That said I am not a big fan of creationism. BC OR W&L?? The pro-cons are KILLING ME.</p>
<p>STATS : Middle eastern exile, 2320 SAT and a mean "GPA" as you call it.</p>

<p>WHO HERE WANTS TO TRY IT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>looking strictly at academics, w&l is vastly superior to bc</p>
<p>First off what the hell do you mean by "gay dances," "gay youth groups" and "party-boy fraternities"</p>
<p>Second, while I agree that W&L's academics are probably superior to BC's - I wouldn't call them VASTLY superior, BC is a great school</p>
<p>Thirdly, BC is as religious as G'town - they're not going to be all about creationism</p>

<p>W & L. My brother goes there and loves it, though he is in a fraternity. Its academics are vastly superior to BCs.</p>
<p>I also gotta decide between BC or W&L, but I'm definatly leaning towards becomeng a general. The reason for me is its a smaller, more personal community, and the academics are also better I understand. Plus I have an interest in playing baseball in college, and I dunno if that's a reality at BC, but it prb is W&L. And finally, its effin' freezing in boston, I want the warmth...</p>
<p>Yeah what the hell do you mean by those things, Mario?</p>

<p>there are the stats from last year's incoming freshman classes at both colleges. However, this year BC's stats went up incredibly because they got over 26,600 applicants (more than harvard and georgetown each received). As for academics at each school. BC's academics are great and W&L's academics are great as well, there is no "far superior" for either school. BC has a beautiful campus and Boston is a great place for nightlife, parties or just something to do on the weekend. I don't know the campus of W&L so I can't speak about that. Personally, I would choose BC. It's a great area which offers great internships etc. </p>
<p>Good luck deciding.</p>
<p>FYI: W&L received a record number of applications this year as well, so expect both schools numbers to go up significantly.</p>
<p>Like I said earlier, academics at the schools are about level (I would give W&L the edge though because if you give me two equal professors, I'd take the one who only deals with undergrads and has small classes over the one who is grad-student obsessed and teaches huge lectures). I applied to both schools and chose W&L because of the size, community, and location.</p>
<p>Congrats on getting into BC! I got wait listed, and while I was extremely upset at first, I realized I wanted the southern lifestyle anyways. My guess would be both schools are academically pretty much the same, but social life will be a lot different. i.e.: no Greek system at BC. (the weather is different, too!)</p>
