BC looks like it has better historical placement and more structured recruiting as you can see from the size of their alumni presence, but if you're looking at specifically BU's finance concentration it used to be considered one of the top 10 undergrad finance programs in the country. Their former Dean was a partner at KKR and the PE professor is an ex-MD from THL. Just glancing at LinkedIn it looks like both schools have clubs that are set up to put top performers into BB IBD slots. Overall, BC is definitely better ranked.

Worth noting though, BC isn't even in Boston it's in Chestnut Hill.

 

Depends. While I totally agree that BC >> BU on an undergrad level, the grad level distinction is not as clear (with the exception of BC Master in Accounting). BU MBA has a much stronger presence internationally than BC and their MBA program has decent placements as well.
