July 11, 2024 - 22 years to the day of Emmie and my first date, another epic first occurred. I got to go with Bri tour Boston College on a college visit. It was an amazing experience and very surreal. After all, I graduated there 40 years ago.
To be honest, there were a few things I found out. First, BC has changed a lot. The standards of who they let in has changed (and the number of admitted students has dropped a ton). One of the speakers, when asked about SAT scores, said that in some majors 1340 would be acceptable and others, they might expect 1500. 1500! Are you serious?
After the realizing that I would never be admitted to BC if I applied now settled in (fortunately Bri is a better student), we enjoyed touring a variety of places on Campus. We went to several of the halls, including Gasson Hall, and visited a few of the classrooms, as well as the Bookstore area - always fun.
When we were done, we went to the Bookstore and also got a quick snack in the dining hall. Lots of fond memories came flooding back during my time there, and I showed Bri a few of my favorite spots. I tried to show here her the School of Education, but most of that was being revamped.
It was a fun day and we had a blast! I was also happy to hear that Bri was sincerely interested in going there, particularly after the tour.
