<li><p>If i am submitting the ACT, I do not need to submit SAT IIs, correct?
That is correct. Your ACT, however, MUST have the writing portion as well.</p></li>
<li><p>I heard the supplemental is just a few questions, no essay, etc. Is this true?
There is no essay. It only asks you to prove the infinite existence of prime numbers. Nothing that a Saturday of concentration can't solve.</p></li>

<p>3.how many recs do you need and from?
Two from teachers. If you must, you can add one more from a non-academic source; this one better be really good, however, adcom doesn't like reading useless letter.</p>
<p>Is there a restriction on which teachers,</p>
<p>i.e., only from 10th/11th grade, or only from certain subjects if you're applying to a certain school (such as business)?</p>
<p>EA - November 1st, date postmarked or date recived?</p>
<p>postmarked.</p>
<p>at BC do you have a better shot at EA or RD? (with mediocre stats 3.5, 30 act)???</p>
<p>you can apply ea, if you dont make it then, chances are you'll get deferred to rd.</p>
<p>In info sessions, BC stresses that its EA admissions is MORE selective than RD (unlike most other schools where applying early "shows the love" and gives you a boost in admissions).</p>
<p>When I asked directly about applying EA (because my son is very interested), BC Admissions rep said quite bluntly, "No one should not apply EA to BC unless he/she is a very strong candidate -- near the top end of our applicant statistics -- and is very sure that having first semester grades and new test scores from the senior year will not strengthen the application any more."</p>
<p>so moral of the story is apply EA?</p>
<p>I thought the "moral of the story" was pretty clear. Do NOT apply EA with mediocre stats.</p>
<p>"At other institutions like Boston College, it is actually a bit more competitive to be admitted in the early process."
BC Admission Site.</p>
<p>ok thanks... hey reddune what are those "other institutions"?</p>
<p>my real question though looking to be answered is...</p>
<p>does BC factor in what school you are applying to so like is the business school harder to get into than CAS. or do they weight them the same and it does not matter in the admin process??</p>
<p>It is harder to get accepted into CSOM (business school) than to CAS, but the difference isn't that much greater.</p>
<p>i cant seem to find anything..</p>
<p>but does anyone have a link that shows the comparison of stats and acceptance rates to that of the CAS and CSOM?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>

<p>There is no publicly available information regarding admission statistic between the different schools. But from the non-public information, the percentages range from 26% for CSOM to 29% for another school. But these numbers change from year to year so it's hard to predict next year's percentage.</p>
<p>would you guys recommend an average dude applying to CAS over the school of management to have a better shot at getting in?</p>
<p>sure, if you do get accepted into CAS, you can call BC and tell them that you mistakenly put CAS instead of CSOM. I'm pretty sure they'll move you to the other department</p>
