Share definition Flag
Boston College High School (B.C. High) is by far the best and most prestigious private Jesuit preparatory school in the nation. The school is located in Dorchester, MA (a section of Boston) which overlooks Boston Harbor. It is near the Kennedy Library and University of Massachusetts. B.C. High was founded in 1863 and educates over 1500 all male students from grades seven through twelve. Tuition is quite high just like any other Catholic school, but many of the students receive scholarships and financial aid. Due to the schools priorities, students are not recruited based on their athletic abilities, but the football, basketball, baseball, swimming, hockey, golf, soccer, and track teams are amongst the best each season. The schools biggest rival is Catholic Memorial High School (CM). Located a few miles away in West Roxbury. B.C. High was ranked #10 in the nation for top sports programs, it was the only school in New England to be ranked. Students come from all over the state, some even from Rhode Island and New Hampshire to attend. However, the majority of the students come from the city of Boston. 99% of B.C. High graduates go on to attend a 4-year college. In Boston's magazine B.C. High was chosen as the number one high school for "Politicians in Training".

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
