<p>why did your child want BC over NYU. We got off of the waitlist and took BC over UW</p>
<p>Tao400: why did your child want BC over UW?</p>
<p>It was more a case of leaving options open. BC has a definable campus in a leafy suburb but the biggest factor in leaving the option open is that his cousin, who he is close to, graduated from Brandeis last year and she is working in Boston.
No major athletic conference, no college town foo-fraw, no regrets.</p>
<p>I have been watching this thread for months but have yet to comment. Like most of you we have be anxiously waiting to hear if we have been excepted off the waitlist. I would like to inform all of you that the final decisions were made today and all letters are being sent today. There were a handful more acceptances sent out today I hope they are to the people in this thread. Your portal should have changed today but that is not a guaranteed way to know, no portal change right away does not mean you did not get in. We are one of the fortunate ones who did finally get accepted. Good luck everyone. BC Here we come!!!</p>
<p>Petre, the smaller classes and professor interaction is what did it finally. Also, we came to the realization that an economics degree with maybe a minor in business is just as good as being in the business school. The reason we came to that realization, if it is correct, is that the Ivys, except for two, don’t have business undergraduate schools and they are recruited in business with an economics degree. Finally, it really is an incredible school with incredible tradition and is small enough to give an intimate college experience. It was really the one my daughter wanted to get into. We feel so fortunate, actually.</p>
<p>congrats bcdad. Welcome to Chestnut Hill.</p>
<p>Tao400: I am so glad that you have made the right decision 
I will be pursuing an economics degree with a minor in Mathematics through CAS as well. I have a very good friend who went the same route, and is now working for a MAJOR bank. Good luck to your family and congratulations.</p>
