Colleges in Boston, Massachusetts

20 four-year colleges in Boston. 2 are public; the biggest is BU.

Biggest first. “Avg. paid” is what students who got federal aid paid per year after grants; at public colleges, that's in-state students. How we get our numbers

Likely: even the low end of our estimate is 60% or more, and the college admits at least 25% of applicants. Target: our estimate is 30% or more. Reach: our estimate is under 30%, or the college admits under 15%. Long shot: our estimate is under 12%, or the college admits under 12%. Estimates use the college's admit rate and score range plus your grades and scores. They are not a promise.
