<p>I go to a Jesuit high school. Does this increase my chances of getting into Boston College?</p>
<p>I really doubt that it does. I’d think BC is pretty much at a point where they want the best talent, so although it certainly isn’t going to count against you, I really doubt its a significant advantage.</p>
<p>I have a ton of friends at Boston College High School. They get rejected all the time.</p>
<p>Jack2010, where do you go to school because I’m at B.C. High? Even though students at B.C. High get rejected from B.C., I think they are a little bit easier on us because at one point we were one school. Generally, about 100 or so kids apply and roughly half of that get in.</p>
<p>I go to a Jesuit high school as well, and although people who are less qualified don’t necessarily get in more so than a non-Jesuit school student that may have the same grades/scores, but the trend seems to be that BC will have a higher quota of acceptees for those that are qualified at my school more so than a non-Jesuit school if that makes sense.</p>
<p>I believe that BCHS, but that still means the BC high kids get rejected all the time (half do). hahha</p>
<p>And I agree with your reasoning too, it’s a feeder school for sure.</p>
<p>But considering going to their own feeder school obviously isn’t a guaranteed ticket in, I seriously doubt going to some random Jesuit high school in Colorado is any statistically significant advantage for the person applying. They want the best applicant and going to a Jesuit high school certainly doesn’t automatically produce a better one.</p>
<p>But hey, Ive been wrong before.</p>
