This is a pretty good back-up school for students looking at top schools. You really cant undervalue the college experience in Boston. If you didnt get into an ivy-level undergrad program you can transfer to one from BU or go to any graduate program from here. If you have the desire BU can take you any where, you just need to do the work.
Its a good school, i turned down a half ride from NYU to go here and i dont regret it, but if i had been accepted by duke/uva (i was wait-listed) I would have gone.
Also, for you pre-med students, check out the Biomedical Engineering Program here, its tied with MIT. Very good to get into any med school.
There is grade deflation here… half the class really does get a C+ or below, so you earn your grades. You must work hard, BU doesnt give out A, A-; you can mess around and still get B range, but thats not going to get you into good grad schools.
