<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Dear Seachai86442 : We have been through your profile on previous occasions, so important to note here is that you need to forget about the extra curriculars right now - focus on academic performance. Have you arranged for an SAT Review course to bolster your chances for the Fall administration of the exam?</p>
<p>To your question, six hours of volunteer work (in point 1) will carry zero weight when held in comparison to a four year high school academic performance. You are describing 172 hours of work here for extracurricular engagement. Please review some of the profiles on the board where we have offered thumbs-up to candidates for BC : they will have years of engagement. That is the pool with which you are competing.</p>
<p>Describing this in the most collegiate manner possible, you can opt to apply to Boston College, but we have already indicated the gaps. You should be spending more time focusing on some schools which better match your capabilities. Given your New York location, local options might include Queens College (local to you apparently), perhaps a school like Dowling College if you were to consider Long Island, or a CUNY/SUNY option where competition has increased, but might still be in range.</p>
<p>I dont have a leadership like president, vice president, officer, etcs. I’m sorry, but those are the only ECs, which I’ve done. I’ve been informed that the things, which I have control over right now are the SAT scores and Mid Year grades in Senior Year.</p>
<p>What about a possible transfer admission to BC from those CUNY SUNY, etcs.? Do you think I stand a shot at College of Liberal Arts and Science?</p>
<p>Dear Seachai86442 : Regarding your question, “Do you think I stand a shot at College of Liberal Arts and Science?”</p>
<p>Haven’t we already answered this question … at least three times … previously?</p>
<p>Answer it for me one time, this will be the last time, I promise.
I want to be able to transfer in if I get denied as a freshmen.</p>
<p>Dear Seachai86442 : You are not going to be accepted into Amherst, Bowdoin, Carnegie-Mellon, Rice, BC, or Williams with the profiles, grades, and board scores that you have shown to date. </p>
<p>Transfer applications into any of these schools are actually significantly more competitive than regular admission freshman classes. Not only are a really small percentage of transfer applications accepted, but the application quality is higher as most students have had tremendously successful freshman years.</p>
<p>We have made suggestions as to where you academically fit and offered some guidance as to how you might achieve acceptance into those better fit schools. Our sincerest good luck to you in your future collegiate career in both finding both the right school and one that allows for your academic improvements. Best wishes.</p>
<p>Dude, I never said I was going to Amherst, Bowdoin, Carnegie Mellon, Rice, or Williams. I doubt BC is any more competitive than these other schools.</p>
<p>I think I will work my hardest in my freshmen year at a less competitive school and then try to transfer in.</p>
