Fun school with a great location outside of Boston. Solid reputation and a lot of recruiting events for banking, accounting, and consulting.

Do not get all of the top tier firms to come to campus (Goldman, McKinsey, etc.) and can be difficult to get a job to the top firms.

Definitely network hard as it can be hard to get jobs at top firms otherwise.

Yes

Great curriculum with invested professors and excited alumni who want to hire you

Some students need to wait until their 3rd year of school to take an actual finance course; liberal arts emphasis is great, but this is unreasonable.

The Portico program (first semester intro to business / hybrid ethics course) is a great opportunity to meet upperclassmen who are well-versed in how to succeed within a top undergraduate business school!

Yes

Campus is beautiful, professors are challenging and inspiring, students are very attractive and generally nice

It can be easy to get caught up in the BC bubble, there are plenty of preppy rich kids.

There is a great balance between challenging academic life with career opportunities and a social, athletic aspect

Yes

The class size is approximately 100, so Boston College can offer MBA students personalized and customized attention to academics and career services

Great quality of life. Small class size enables everyone to develop strong relationships with most classmates.

Standard MBA admissions process, including essays, GMAT, resume and interview

2010

The faculty and quality of classes are top notch and have by far surpassed my expectations. The faculty are either very distinguished professors or highly successful industry experts such as ex-Portfolio Managers, CEO's, etc. The school's "Executives Club of Boston" is the number one speaking forum for CEO's in the U.S. It is not uncommon to randomly run into and have the opportunity to speak to CEO's and exec's at Fortune 500 companies at this school.

The admissions process seems to value students' potential and the interview over raw numbers. I personally know students who have been accepted to higher "ranked" schools with great stats but have been rejected or wait-listed at Boston College.

Facilities are new and modern. Great campus vibe, very safe and a great place to socialize. Things are constantly improving for the better; always something going on at BC.

2004 or earlier

The Accounting and Finance classes are some of the best in country. The teachers are dedicated and go out of their way to make sure the graduates of Boston College all have a strong foundation in financial and accounting principles.

The cost of living is very affordable and BC has a free scuttle that has saved a significant about of money regarding parking and gas. Boston College is in a very nice neighborhood that has a strong police presents. You always feel safe walking home from campus or the bars.

Classes are relatively small and offer very experienced faculty who generally have actual work experience in the field being taught. Evening MBA students and Full-Time MBA students take elective courses (concentration areas) together, enabling additional relationship building across school. Faculty emphasizes practical application of concepts taught in classroom and can tie-in real world experiences to the teaching. Course work is challenging and requires a good deal of preparation time at home. Grading is tough but fair.

Beautiful neighborhoods in Chestnut Hill and Newton. Low crime levels with lots to do and easy access to Boston via the T.

Application process entails submitting 3 comprehensive essays, completing the GMAT and submitting scores, providing an updated resume, and an interview. Average GMAT score was fairly high and fellow applicants had impressive backgrounds and were well-accomplished. I found most other applications had at least 5 years of work experience and had obtained some form of managerial position prior to applying.
