<p>In the latest US News College Rankings (2007 edition), BC has jumped six spots to number 34, tied with NYU and U of Rochester. </p>
<p>They were ranked 29 overall for selectivity, and 20 for graduation and retention rate.</p>
<p>Finally, the recognition it deserves!</p>
<p>How did you get a hold of that information? I guess than next year it's going to rank 37 again. There's always a 3 ranks fluctuation with BC. But of course I'm hoping it will 31 instead.</p>
<p>Disclaimer:
Ranking is controversial, and should not be only criteria to judge a school. In all the heart of Eagle everywhere (except for the disgrunted one) BC is always Numero Uno.</p>
<p>The overall ranking is great news, but as a parent of an incoming freshman with four--count 'em four-- years of BC expenses ahead, I'm even more impressed with the graduation/retention rate.</p>
<p>Go Eagles!</p>
<p>Great news.</p>
<p>I figured they would move up because of the jump in applications and the drop in acceptance rate.</p>
<p>...Sweet. :)</p>
<p>Can't believe our D is going to be a senior this year. She has loved it, and so have we--BC has been everything we hoped it would be for her. We'll probably still go to a football game or two even after she graduates!! Glad to see that people are realizing what a great school it is!</p>
