How much does legacy account for in admission to BC?

From what I have heard, and the people whom I have met with relatives that have attended BC, legacy can help a handful of people get in, but overall, not very many at all.

13% of admitted students are legacy students.

Do you get to pick your roommate at BC? Also, how many roommates do you have freshman year? Are the dorms nice?

you can request someone to be your roommate, but its not guaranteed that you will room with them. you can have 1,2,or three roommates

You can if you want to. Otherwise it can be random. As a freshman, you can have 1, 2, or 3 roommates. The dorms are clean and very basic.

Do you get to choose whether or not you have 1, 2, or 3 roommates?

You can request a double, triple, or quad on the housing application, but they all have different availabilities.

If there are people who are already accepted from my school for athletics will it hurt my chances of getting into BC?

Not at all. BC welcomes more students even from the same school regardless if a number of athletes were already accepted.

absolutely not. they still look at your academic record and what you can offer to the school. athletes,i believe are recruited,so it won't affect your chances

Would anything change if the athletes were females and in my graduating class?
