<p>When you look at the data, there is no “correct” year. Applicant pool changes from year to year. So you’re right in that regard, it’s hard to predict what 2010 or 2011 will be like based on previous years. No one has a crystal ball. However, using the information, we can ballpark chances. The most telling data on admission are not acceptance and rejection, but SAT score and GPA. They stay relatively constant, slightly creeping upward, from year to year. BC also provides their GPA and SAT for all to see as well.</p>

<p>Finally, most of these information are not “marketing claptrap” as you put it, but part of BC annual review, one of the things universities and colleges do in order to get accreditation. Most schools choose not to provide these information to the public. The links to those info that I posted above are not under the admissions office, so the average high school students wouldn’t have a clue where to look for them.</p>
