<p>Saw this on the Georgetown page and got curious…</p>
<p>for me, my main other choices were a full ride to Rutgers University and the University of Michigan.</p>
<p>UCSB (Honors Program), College of Charleston (Honors College), SMU, Southern Cal</p>
<p>University of Michigan, USC, St. Andrews (Scotland)</p>
<p>Drexel Honors, Rutgers NB Honors Engineering/Honors Arts & Sciences/Honors Business, Lehigh Honors Integrated Business and Engineering, NYU Stern. WL at WUSTL and Cornell.</p>
<p>NYU (CAS), UPitt (Honors)</p>
<p>UIUC(engineering)</p>
<p>Northwestern, URichmond (full tuition scholarship), USC, Vassar, Tulane (honors), UMiami (honors)</p>
<p>UMichigan, Lehigh, Villanova, Emory</p>

<p>I thought you were going to Lehigh accounting?</p>
<p>No I suggested to a non catholic jewish student that he should attend Lehigh’s accounting program as I felt it was better than BC’s. However BC in general, and BC CSOM are both better than Lehigh or Lehigh CBE. I chose BC for it’s awesome Finance program, although I am a bit skeptical becuase I want to do consulting and not investment banking.</p>
<p>USC Dornsife, NYU CALS, Wisconsin-Madison engineering</p>
<p>Lehigh accounting is better than BC accounting? For starters…</p>

<p>We can debate Lehigh accounting vs. BC accounting, but to say that Lehigh accounting is definitively better than BC accounting is definitely misleading.</p>
<p>I won’t speak too much on behalf of Lehigh accounting because I haven’t researched it a lot (I know for a fact that PwC, KPMG, and E&Y recruit actively there), although I do know that BC’s program places exceptionally well into Big 4 (42%, <a href=“http://www.bc.edu/content/dam/files/schools/csom_sites/departments/pdf1/Department%20Newsletter%20Spring%202012%20updated.pdf[/url]”>http://www.bc.edu/content/dam/files/schools/csom_sites/departments/pdf1/Department%20Newsletter%20Spring%202012%20updated.pdf</a>) and US News consistently ranks BC Accounting as a top 25 program ([2012</a> Rankings of Top US Accounting Programs for Undergraduate Students|Best universities in USA](<a href=“http://www.university-list.net/us/rank/univ-0015.htm]2012”>2018 Overall Rankings - US National Liberal Arts Colleges | P2/3 | Top Colleges in USA | Best universities | US News Undergraduate School Rankings and Tuitions - Education Rankings)).</p>
<p>oops I forgot Middlebury!</p>
<p>It might have been Lehigh’s sales pitch. Every professor and student basically told me that the accounting program has a 100% job placement rate, and that most of their students get jobs at the big 4. Quite frankly, they told me “major in accounting and and get at least a 2.8 and your guaranteed a great job out of college.” One advisor even told me he knew a student with an accounting major with a 2.5 GPA that got a job at the big 4 (although he may have had connections).</p>
<p>Anyways, on the USNEWS rankings, BC is ranked 31st, and selectivity is 15% of the ranking. This being BC’s most selective class with a 28% acceptance rate and an average of a 2100 on the SAT, what do you think its ranking should be? My guess is that it gets into the top 30 coming out at #29.</p>
<p>I think BC should be ranked above UNC and Wake Forest and maybe ties with Tufts.</p>
