Reading the numbers
- The periods differ. Some lists cover one year, others four or five.
- School sizes differ. Some senior classes have more than 200 students, others fewer than 100.
- Admitted is not enrolled. This article counts only matriculation lists (where graduates enrolled) and school profiles.
- Not every school publishes a list. A school missing here may still send students to Boston College.
Using this when choosing a school
- On a school’s USAnaru™ page, see “Where graduates go to college” — the school’s own list with its source.
- If your child has a college in mind, find it in Where boarding school graduates go to college to see which boarding schools sent students there.
- Look beyond the numbers and ask the admission office, for example: “How do international students get college counseling?” and “Where have recent international graduates gone?”
You can also ask in Ask USAnaru™.

Questions
Where can I see a boarding school’s college results?
Many boarding schools publish the colleges their graduates attend (College Matriculation) or the School Profile they send to colleges on their College Counseling pages. On a USAnaru™ school page, “Where graduates go to college” shows the school’s own list and source.
Is a school that sends more students to Boston College a better school?
Not on that basis alone. Lists cover different years and class sizes, and the right school depends on your child’s interests and the region you prefer. Treat the numbers as evidence that a path from that school to Boston College exists, and ask the admission office and college counselors directly.
What is the difference between an acceptance list and a matriculation list?
An acceptance list shows where graduates were admitted; a matriculation list shows where they actually enrolled. One student can be admitted to many colleges, so acceptance lists are longer. This article counts only matriculation lists and school profiles.
