Boston College Early Decision Acceptance Rate

I have Boston College as one of my top choices and I'm thinking about applying early decision. I was wondering what the acceptance rate for BC early decision is? Does applying ED to BC boost my chances?

Applying early decision (ED) does generally boost your chances of acceptance at a school, and Boston College is no exception. While specific acceptance rates can fluctuate from year to year, early decision rates are typically higher than regular decision rates.

The advantage of applying early decision is more pronounced for highly selective schools. It's important, however, to fully commit to Boston College if you apply ED, as it's a binding agreement, meaning if you're accepted, you're expected to attend.

Remember also to use Boston College's net price calculator (https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/admission/affordability.html) to ensure that the financial aid offer would be adequate for your situation, as the binding nature of ED leaves less room for financial aid negotiation. If accepted through the ED process and the financial aid isn't enough, you could potentially appeal the aid package or break the agreement, but it's not an ideal situation.
