<p>General Comments:
I’ve looked into BC for a while and I really love everything it has to offer. So far I’m probably apply as a history major with a economics minor (maybe a double major in history and economics). I’m definitely retaking the SAT I again in October and December (as a fallback), though I’m worried whether or not I can hit a decent score on it. Also probably only sending in my SAT II scores for Mandarin and History and withholding the Computer Science AP score. Please be honest!</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>You have an okay shot. I'd improve the writing score and maybe try the ACT.</p>

<p>Definitely retake the SAT...also, does your school rank? That GPA could be a bit higher but I don't know how good it is relative to others in your class. But overall, I'd say you have a good shot if you are able to crack 2050+. As of now though, it's definitely a pretty big reach. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone! Yeah I'm definitely aiming for 2050 or so, but I think I'll probably give the ACT a shot too. And no, my school doesn't rank, but it's a pretty competitive school. </p>

<p>But overall, the SAT counts for a lot?</p>
