Did you know that visiting a college is termed “demonstrated interest” by schools and is one of the admissions criteria used to determine an applicant’s acceptance? In fact, “demonstrated interest” is one piece of the admissions puzzle that can give a student up to a 40% chance of being admitted over other applicants.

Boston is one of the best "college towns” in the country. Aside from the incredible academics you will find at all of these schools, the city of Boston seamlessly combines the feel of a college town with the possibilities of a city.
