<p>is my title true?</p>
<p>Direct quote from the BC website:</p>
<p>"The university aims to fill no more than 30% of the freshman class through the Early Action process, therefore, Early Action at Boston College is more selective than Regular Decision."</p>
<p>My son goes to a Jesuit high school that always sends a good number of students to BC each year. According to a guidance counselor there, EA applicants to BC should be exceptionally strong students who do not need to "polish" their applications with ACT/SAT retakes or 1st semester grades from senior year. Otherwise, students should apply RD.</p>
<p>thank youu</p>
<p>The EA acceptance rate for last year was 37% compared to the 29% regular acceptance. The EA group was much smaller and more competitive though.</p>
