If you are debating whether to submit your score, we advise that you do so if it is at or above the 25th percentile of BC students who were admitted.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Tip 3. Develop Significant Extracurricular Activities<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are aware of the value of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mp.moonpreneur.com\/blog\/benefits-of-extracurricular-activities-for-kids\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">extracurricular activities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but there are certain subtleties involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, make sure you participate in at least a few significant extracurricular activities. These extracurricular activities are the most specialized and distinctive, such as taking first place in the Math Olympiad or being recognized by the National Art Honor Society. Other activities, such as minor club leadership or involvement, that are more widespread and less specialized can also be added to the list.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To show that you have acquired interests in particular fields, your extracurricular activities should also be organized around one or two themes. For instance, BC would rather that you demonstrate your interest in medicine by becoming the president of the Biology club and by having shadowed a doctor at a nearby hospital than by having five clubs and two volunteer roles.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Tip 4. Essays Should Be Engaging<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The admissions office can discover more about you as a person through your essays than they can from your numbers. BC\u2019s prompts are designed to urge you to delve into your thoughts and values to offer a clear picture of who you are. These prompts range from delving into important subjects to assessing the effects of the national reckoning on racial injustice.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Tip 5. Apply Early<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The acceptance rate for Early Decision applications is 39%, which is significantly higher than the general acceptance rate of 26%. If BC is truly your top choice, then it\u2019s in your best interest to apply early because, generally speaking, Early Decision plans do give admission at a higher rate than Regular Decision plans.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are a few drawbacks to submitting an Early Decision to BC. You won\u2019t really benefit from applying early if your profile isn\u2019t nearly as strong as that of the other students, and your time would be better spent elsewhere. Furthermore, if receiving financial aid is an issue for you, keep in mind that if you are in, you will be obligated to attend BC and won\u2019t be allowed to compare offers.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><b>Application Requirements<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-30e40c8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"30e40c8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9212c9f\" data-id=\"9212c9f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3633298 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"3633298\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n<head>\n  <meta charset=\"UTF-8\"\/>\n  <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\"\/>\n  <style>\n    table {\n      width: 100%;\n      border-collapse: collapse;\n      margin-top: 20px;\n      font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;\n    }\n    th, td {\n      border: 1px solid #ddd;\n      padding: 12px;\n      text-align: left;\n    }\n    th {\n      background-color: #f2f2f2;\n    }\n    tr:nth-child(even) {\n      background-color: #ffe6a7;\n    }\n    .requirement {\n      color: #e74c3c;\n    }\n    .details {\n      color: #52b788;\n    }\n  <\/style>\n\n<\/head>\n<body>\n\n  <table>\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th class=\"requirement\">Requirement<\/th>\n        <th class=\"details\">Details<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <td class=\"requirement\">Common Application<\/td>\n        <td class=\"details\">-<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td class=\"requirement\">Writing Supplement<\/td>\n        <td class=\"details\">-<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td class=\"requirement\">SAT\/ACT Scores (optional for 2026)<\/td>\n        <td class=\"details\">-<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td class=\"requirement\">High School Transcript<\/td>\n        <td class=\"details\">-<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td class=\"requirement\">School Report<\/td>\n        <td class=\"details\">-<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td class=\"requirement\">Counselor Recommendation Form<\/td>\n        <td class=\"details\">-<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td class=\"requirement\">2 Teacher Evaluations<\/td>\n        <td class=\"details\">Recommended from English, Social Studies, Science, Math, or Foreign Language teachers.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td class=\"requirement\">Mid-Year Grade Report<\/td>\n        <td class=\"details\">-<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td class=\"requirement\">Application Fee or Fee Waiver<\/td>\n        <td class=\"details\">$80 application fee or fee waiver.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-01ed133 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"01ed133\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-31ad9a9\" data-id=\"31ad9a9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41e96bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"41e96bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4><b>What is the cost of attending Boston College?<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing the cost of the education at Boston College is an important component to take into account.
