<p>We participated w/ our son yesterday in the HC info session, tour and interview process, and I must say that it was the very best and most personal that we have seen so far. The school seems to really have its act in order and its priorities right. I think anyone who is considering places like BC need to add HC to thier lists. You owe it to yourselves to check it out. We were very pleased, and could definitely see our son there.</p>

<p>The school has lots to offer, is smaller than many "comps" and has a real personal feel to it. It is urban, but not too urban. Has some very good liberal arts programs and solid core curriculum requirements. The campus seemed to be really clean and they seem to be upgrading and building new buildings, etc. The endowement is very big for a school its size.</p>

<p>The only posible negative would be that they offer very little merit aid (but they do commit to meeting 100% of established need).</p>

<p>Very impressed.</p>

<p>hc's academic quality is underrated</p>

<p>of course, you do pay big bucks for it, and yes they dont give out much merit aid.</p>

3

<p>did the release the stats for the numbers of applicants, accepted etc.</p>

<p>do i recall correctly that it was a huge number due to going SAT optional?</p>

<p>I recall that as well -- Holy Cross had an unusually high number of applicants this year, probably largely because of the new SAT policy.</p>
