<p>Hello Meghan,</p>

<p>I am the dad of a BC Freshman who was accepted EA last Dec. Your rank and GPA are very good. One item I noticed is the lack of AP classes your junior year. Many colleges use junior year AP scores as a indicator to what you may score with senior AP classes. The fact that you are taking many AP classes this year is great, but colleges will not see those scores until you are already accepted by colleges. Those scores become available in the summer.</p>

<p>Take your ACTs. They may give you the opportunity to score in the 30 to 32 range. A score of 1970 on SATs is rather low for BC. Hopefully a combined score can be 2050 or higher.</p>

<p>Good luck! Should you have other questions please post.</p>
