The Admission Process

"I've been lucky to spend six years at a place that has fostered my thinking, supported my individuality, and broadened my outlook. Burroughs is demanding without being intimidating. It cultivates excellence without encouraging competitiveness." Sam Rosenfeld, JBS Class of 2000
