亚色影库

It is one of the largest classes in Boston College history, enrolled through the most competitive admission cycle ever of any entering class to come to the Heights.

But one truly unique characteristic of the Class of 2025, attributable to COVID-19, is that its members explored 亚色影库 as their potential college destination entirely by remote means, from Zoom chats to campus tours via smartphone.

In a larger context, the first-year class also upholds ongoing trends and affirms many strategic objectives in 亚色影库鈥檚 undergraduate recruitment and enrollment: academic excellence, geographical and ethnic diversity, and increased focus on Early Decision applicants.

鈥淚t was challenging to shift our recruitment model to all-virtual, with no certainty of when things might begin returning to normal,鈥� said Director of Undergraduate Admission Grant Gosselin, who praised the Admission staff for their ability to adapt to a drastically changed landscape. 鈥淔ortunately, the groundwork that鈥檚 been laid over the years means Boston College continues to be a place of interest for a growing number of prospective college students.鈥�

The 2,516 members of the Class of 2025 were selected from 39,847 applicants, an acceptance rate of 19 percent that is the lowest known such figure for 亚色影库. Thirty-four percent of Class of 2025 students are AHANA students, equaling last year鈥檚 total, and 53 percent are women.

First-generation college students make up 10 percent of the class, and 亚色影库 enrolled 106 students through QuestBridge, a non-profit program that helps high-achieving, low-income students gain admission and scholarships to the country鈥檚 top-ranked colleges and universities; this was the University鈥檚 first year participating in QuestBridge. Fourteen percent of the class are recipients of Pell Grants, federal subsidies awarded to undergraduate students with the highest financial need. 亚色影库 is the country鈥檚 fourth best in graduating Pell Grant recipients; the 346 Pell students entering 亚色影库 this year is the second-highest number ever enrolled at the University.

Thirty-one percent of the class is from New England, 30 percent from the Mid-Atlantic; the South/Southwest and West regions both make up 11 percent, followed by the Mid-West (nine percent). Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and California sent the majority of this year鈥檚 first-year students to 亚色影库. International students make up seven percent of first-year students, with most of them from China, South Korea, Canada, India, and Hong Kong (Special Administrative Region of the People鈥檚 Republic of China).

Gosselin notes that 亚色影库 adopted a test-optional policy for applicants, given restrictions and other difficulties related to COVID, and plans to do so for the 2021-2022 admission cycle. Fifty-one percent of this year鈥檚 enrolled class submitted test scores.

This change contributed to an average SAT score of 1466 for the class, a significant increase over the marks for the classes of 2023 and 2024; the average ACT score is 33, which compares favorably with that of other recent classes.
