Boston College has announced that it will be test optional for Class of 2025 applicants in the upcoming admissions cycle.
Of the 29,400 students who applied this academic year, 24 percent were admitted—a 3-point drop from the 27 percent acceptance rate BC has held for the past two years.
The AHANA+ population at BC increased for the third consecutive year. BC attributes the rise in AHANA+ enrollment to national trends and BC’s efforts.
Boston College received almost 30,000 applications for the undergraduate Class of 2024, over 5,000 fewer than the BC-record Class of 2023

The play, published even before the 2016 elections, fits uncannily with the recent college admissions scandals, from Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin to Harvard’s affirmative action lawsuit.
Boston College accepted 9,500 students from a total pool of 35,500. Total applications rose over 14 percent from last year.
” Overall, the decision risks alienating students for whom financial aid is a significant factor in their college choice, as well as students who attend low-resource high schools who do not have a counselor to keep up with rapid changes in BC’s admissions process. It may also lead to a more Catholic and wealthier university, limiting diversity and accessibility.”
Boston College announced that the University is implementing an Early Decision (ED) admissions program to replace its Early Action (EA) program for Class of 2024 applicants.
