There are 62 comments on 波士顿大学2017届毕业生是精英

  1. 整个Washburn & Lee家族都非常高兴,Alexis Washburn已经确认,6月11日的旅行安排已经确定,她现在是一只波士顿梗! 多么神奇的祝福!!

    1. 事实吗? 他们说的是事实? 奇怪这是怎么回事。

      The numbers don’t lie — BU is on an upward trajectory. 我不确定如果我现在申请是否能被录取,我认为这是一件好事。

    1. 不是真的。 I’m in the class of 2016 and I’m actually really proud and excited that my school is becoming more selective and therefore strengthening its reputation.

    2. 根本不是这样。 I graduated a few years ago and frankly, the fact that my alma mater’s reputation is increasing rapidly will only help me and my peers in the job market.

    3. 按照这样的速度,无论你在哪个班,你从波士顿大学获得的文凭(或未来的文凭)的价值每年都在增加。 New BU classes are essentially strengthening the school’s prestige, and in the process, making all BU alums and current 学生s more attractive candidates in employer’s eyes. So, don’t feel stupid, this is benefiting you more than you know!

      1. 我是一名来自中国的国际学生,每一个我提到BU的人都立刻知道它在哪里,它是什么,并且给我留下了深刻的印象。 大家都知道它是一所与北大处于同一水平的学校。 我只认为这对未来想在国外工作的毕业生来说是一件好事。

  2. 自2015届新生以来,入学要求变得更加竞争激烈,录取率也更加挑剔。 Prior to 2015, 波士顿大学’s Admissions Department advertised that approximately 70% of children of faculty & staff that applied to 波士顿大学 were accepted. I’m sure the BU Faculty & Staff Community are very interested in learning the percentage of employees’ kids that were accepted into the Class of 2015, 2016, and 2017.

    If the acceptance percentage is below 25%, which I imagine is the case for at least the Class of 2017, then 100% or 90% Tuition Remission for Employees Children should no longer be advertised as a huge “perk” of employment, since the benefit only impacts a minority of employees.

    Would the University consider increasing the number of employees’ kids that could use Tuition Remission at an institution other than 波士顿大学? 目前,波士顿大学授权10名员工的子女(基于BU雇用日期)享受这项福利。 把这个数字翻倍到每年20个孩子怎么样? This would certainly elevate this benefit to a viable “perk” in the eyes of faculty, staff, and potential employees.

    Has employee retention been negatively effected since 2011 (Class of 2015), with fewer employees’ kids being accepted to 波士顿大学?

    M.J. Walsh, MET ’08
    Staff – MET College

    Parent – ENG 2008
    Parent – CAS ’12 & CGS ’10
    Parent – University of New Hampshire 2015

    1. Why should an employee’s child have a greater percentage of getting in? 如果他们的申请很好,那么他们应该被录取。 If it’s not, then they shouldn’t.

      The perk is that if your child is admitted, you don’t have to pay (as much) tuition.

      你是说你在波士顿大学工作就是为了让你的孩子上大学吗?

      1. You’ve misunderstood Mr. Walsh entirely. 他的观点并不是说雇员子女的录取率应该更高,而是应该为那些已经被录取的学生提供更大的学费减免配额。

        As it stands, Tuition Remission is heavily advertised for BU employees, and Mr. Walsh’s point is that this is somewhat misleading, as the benefit only affects a (very) small number of people.

        1. 感谢托马斯澄清我评论的意图!

          添加ressing “What’s question:
          I didn’t initially come to work at BU with the intent of my kids getting the majority of their tuition paid by the University. However, it’s certainly one of the main reasons I have remained a BU employee; 两个儿子就读于波士顿大学,一个毕业了。 这相当于在波士顿大学10个学期节省了大约17万美元。 我想说,我来波士顿大学工作是一项非常明智的投资。 Wouldn’t you agree?

          1. Here’s further clarification from Kelly Walter:

            “The children of faculty and staff are always given special consideration by BU Admissions. 从历史上看,这些学生的录取率高于整体申请者。 Despite the increased selectivity this year, we offered admission to 66% of the applicants whose parents are employed at the university.”

  3. 多么美妙的事情啊。 My daughter will be graduating in 2014 from a terrific school with wonderful opportunities – couldn’t be prouder! 继续加油,BU!

  4. “Admissions received a 创纪录的52,693名申请者 to fill 3,800 seats in the Class of 2017.” – These numbers are always baffling. 由于声明的录取率为37%,这52,693名申请者显然不是在竞争3800个席位。 必须有人解释这种反常现象,否则BU公布的这些统计数据毫无意义

    1. 原因如下:这所学校接受的学生比它能容纳的学生多,因为不是所有收到录取通知书的人都会来波士顿大学。 学校必须试着猜测被录取的学生中有多少会选择波士顿大学。

      1. To this “咄” and all others who responded with similar statement:

        你的建议可能不正确。 当你看从大学理事会或其他类似组织获得的统计数据时,它总是说xxxx年XX大学的录取率是yy。 当你看这个数字的时候,比如麻省理工学院,哈佛大学,哥伦比亚大学或其他著名或不那么著名的大学,他们的申请人数,注册学生总数和录取率总是匹配的。 对你们所有人说,在所有这些大学(无论他们属于哪一类),总是有一个很大的等待名单。 If you don’t know, look at wait list acceptance letter for any college from a real 学生 and don’t bother posting a comment).
        此外,今年申请总数的37%意味着大约19,500名学生。 这意味着即使五分之二的被录取学生想要入学,波士顿大学也没有足够的空间。
        如果知识渊博的BU管理员或本文作者能够澄清这些数字,我们将不胜感激。 谢谢。

        1. S. Gosh, you are incorrect and “咄” is correct. 录取率是指有多少留校学生被录取,而留校率是指被录取的学生中有多少人选择上所述大学。 像麻省理工学院/哈佛大学这样的学校伦顿率很高,因为大多数被录取的学生都选择去这些大学。

          ps don’t comment if you don’t know these basic things

    2. Because the number if admitted 学生s is much more than 3,800 — the admissions at BU take into account that some may be admitted but choose not to attend because they did not get enough financial aid/scholarship or they were not admitted to their first choice college (within the university)

    3. 这个接受率的计算是一个工业标准。 其他学校也将其作为衡量标准。 Therefore, it won’t be a misleading number, since it is used to compare.

    4. @美国Ghosh — Before you suggest (accuse) school administrators of fudging their admissions statistics, it would serve you well to be better informed. 从别人的帖子中学习,而不是自我防卫。 By the way, it behooves you to know that these statistics you mention from the College Board and other organizations (say U.S. News and World Reports) are actually sourced through — surprise! — the colleges themselves.

    1. CGS需要像哥伦比亚大学通识学院那样重新定位。 它应该只适用于那些没有直接进入本科教育的非传统学生。 这些学生有孩子,在军队服役,在商界工作,他们是CGS应该为之服务的人。

      1. That’s what the Metropolitan College (MET) is for… it’s non-traditional and evening learning that has some great classes. I believe CGS is still around because of the University’s charter saying something about having a general studies division, but that is really outdated at this point. 虽然有些人从CGS中得到了很多,但我相信如果没有它,大学仍然会好得多。

  5. GWU accepted 33% of applications for the class of 2016 and accepted even fewer to the class of 2017, so I definitely wouldn’t say that BU is “more selective” than George Washington. I also wouldn’t compare GW to American. If anything, I’d say that BU is “on par” with George Washington because it is certainly not on par with BC.

  6. @克里斯汀 — A school’s admit rate — whether it’s BC’s 26%, BU’s 36%, or GW’s 33% — is only meaningful to a point. It doesn’t necessarily follow that if Jane is accepted at BC, she would certainly get into BU and GW as well. 理性的人知道这是真的。 那么,为什么要参与这种澳门威尼斯人注册平等的愚蠢讨论呢?

    这三所学校都是非常优秀的学校,入学竞争非常激烈。

  7. 波士顿大学拿自己和纽约大学或乔治华盛顿大学相比,当它有一个好的录取评级是愚蠢的。 It hasn’t even caught up to Northeastern University yet.

  8. I am glad to see that BU has increased in selectiveness but I don’t think its better or even close to as good as a school as BC, NYU, or GWU…but definitely American U! 与我列出的其他大学相比,波士顿大学提供的教育并不好。 我个人进入了波士顿大学、华盛顿大学和美国大学。 我决定去华盛顿大学是因为他们给我的钱最多,所以我的教育价值是无与伦比的。 现在回想起来,我觉得我的决定是正确的。
