• Admitted
• Not admitted

Admission is need-blind and test-optional, and BC says scores are one factor among many in a holistic review. Athletes apply through the same Common Application process as everyone else; the coach's interest does not change the academic standard, and about 14 percent of applicants were admitted for the Class of 2029.

Figures are BC's published 2026-27 undergraduate charges; books, travel and personal expenses are extra. BC is need-blind for domestic students and meets 100 percent of demonstrated need; the need-based aid budget is $197.7 million, the average need-based package is projected to exceed $65,000, and more than 67 percent of undergraduates receive aid. The only merit award is the full-tuition Presidential Scholarship for 18 students a year (apply by the November 1 priority deadline). BC does not publish whether its skiing program awards athletic aid; ask the coach.(bc.edu)
