I got accepted into Boston College on a full ride.
I got a GRE waiver.
Whole process took less than 3 weeks.
I have a very unique non-traditional background working internationally. I’m sure there is very few people, if no one who has my specific background.
It wasn’t hard corporate so I thought that was gonna hurt me getting into good schools. I was gonna apply to other schools, but I only ended up applying to Boston College.
Boston College, was honestly my dream school. I’m so happy and grateful. It hits pretty well with what I wanna do.
I wasn’t sure I was gonna get in, let alone a full scholarship.
However, I have myself second guessing. Did I sell myself short? If I was able to get such a good deal with BC could have I shot higher in terms of schools?
I have a focus to do a career in finance or consulting in specific fields.
Should I take some time studying for a GRE and apply for 2027 or run with BC in 2026?
Not sure how much of an impact of a school higher than BC can make for what I want to do.
I know the post is vague, don’t wanna share too much.
Edit: I worked internationally. I’m not an international student.
