Funny how you never hear it from Tufts, Harvard, or NESCAC schools.
Wanna know why? Cuz BC grads ARE above those other guys.

I went to Colby so I'll give you some perspective. Academically, all the NESCAC schools and BC are on the same level and you get the same quality of person. Northeastern, BU, and Holy Cross are a big step down from BC or the NESCAC and you can probably throw Providence in that step down bunch also.
URI and UMASS are literally a waste of $100,000 for an education. Those schools are totally worthless and the degree you get isn't worth the paper they are written on. URI and UMass are nicknamed U-R-High and ZooMass, which should tell you enough. Those educations are right on par with Rutgers and WVU in the real world and no one hires people from these schools.

This isn't totally true. I worked with a bunch of URI and UMass kids this summer at a fairly prestigious job, and they seemed pretty competent. I'm sure they place them in a much lower proportion than BC though. FWIW, BC had the most kids by far in this internship program and was probably the smallest or 2nd smallest school represented. BU had 2 I think at most out of 60.

URI and UMass have a honors program, those kids are probably relatively intelligent. You also have to remember, those two schools are bigger than BC, so you're going to get a couple smart kids, but a whole lot more stupid ones. Care to share what the "fairly prestigious job was"?

I think you might be underrating your NESCAC education a bit, but we (as BC grads) appreciate that. Those are fantastic schools. Totally different atmosphere than a BC gives you, but in the classroom, those are about as good as you can get (I have a family member at Williams).
But again, I find it funny that BU, NU, UMass, PC and HC people always use this rhetoric. I mean, should the onus really be on BC students and grads to be overly modest and make those folk feel better by lying and saying their schools are as good as ours? I don't get it.

The fact of the matter is, that in jobs that count, BC places more grads than anyone outside of Harvard or MIT. Business, education, government, it's not really close. BU Law might have a little on us, but that's about it.
1981Eagle {l Wrote}:Cream rises to the top no matter what school you go to. One of the smartest, most talented people is my MBA program went to San Diego State. The two best analysts I had work for me on Wall Street--one graduated in 3 years from Ca Poly SLO and the other from the University of Texas. I did have a number of Wharton grads too. Some very good but just as many were worthless. The school you go/went to is way overrated. I've worked with some real losers from the Ivies, Stanford and NEAC schools and some incredibly talented people from schools you have barely heard of.
Bryn Mawr Eagle {l Wrote}:The bottom line is that BC has simply gotten better over the years as an academic institution. Allegations of snobbery and elitism from outsiders naturally follow. What some of you are doing appears to be pining for and/or sympathizing with those who wish for the old days when BC was not considered an "elite" college. Please read that last sentence again. If you really feel that way, then
I want BC to be considered the top f'ing college in the country. I want the place to be the best it can possibly be. People will call me snobby or elitist for saying that. Fuck them and their BU and Northeastern diplomas. I laugh at them. Fools.

1981Eagle {l Wrote}:I have heard from two separate BC grads that love the school that the Director of Admissions points out in every speech to Alumni, as a stock part of his speech, that they would not likely get into BC today. While factually, that may be true.
1981Eagle {l Wrote}: I have a son applying in the Fall. If they try to pull that elitist shit on me me then I will have a way to deal with that. I'm actually hoping the Director of Admissions pulls out the elitist crap because I will rip him a new orifice to his face and through other channels. BC is better and BC people are better than these instances. This stuff is not BC.
