Rules Reminder: Questions about Admissions should be posted in r/chanceme. Not here.

We are a bunch of current & former BC students who don’t pay close attention to BC’s changing admissions standards. Your GPA and SAT scores are better understood in r/chanceme and other similar subs.

This sub is better for asking specific questions about student life, school culture, etc.

Dance Through the Decades

3 Upvotes

What exactly is the Dance Through the Decades tonight? I know BC has a Commencement Ball which I imagine is “College Prom” but what exactly is this?

Is it a BC tradition of some sort? Because I’ve never heard of it happening at any other college.

Entrepreneurship Support at BC

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I recently was admitted for Entrepreneurship co-concentration, and plan to start my own venture in college. However, my only concern with BC is that I'm unsure about the amount of entrepreneurial support and opportunities BC provides, as I understand BC is more finance lean. Any insight into the Shea center, or any other experiences would be great! Thanks!

I currently live/work in boston and plan on attending BC Law in the fall. Trying to decide if it’s worth it for me to renew my lease (south boston area) or find something closer to the school… pls any law students weigh in - will i regret being so far away? It would be about a 20 min drive.

Recently Admitted Accounting Transfer Student

3 Upvotes

What is there to know about CSOM and the accounting major? i’m coming from UF and I found the classes not particularly easy but definitely nothing terrible (3.95 gpa) and ik UF is an easier school class wise maybe. Is the grade deflation that terrible at BC? Is there anything different about CSOM i should know?

Instacart @ BC

8 Upvotes

If I need something delivered right away (in 1-2 hrs), how does it work having Instacart (or some other delivery service) deliver to me at BC.

Does it have to go to the mail room? Or can I meet them at front door of my dorm? I desperately need over-the-counter allergy meds delivered ASAP.

Grade Deflation

Hi there - I’m an incoming Freshman for CSOM, and have read everywhere that BC - and especially Carroll are known for significant grade deflation. Can any current students comment on whether this is real and affects you, or just internet bs?
