<p>Hi
I was just wondering about the avg sat scores for the Carroll School of Management. All websites give the avg sat scores of all of BC’s schools. If there is any info on CSOM alone, it would really put my mind at ease. I currently have a
M:650
CR:690
W:740 I will retake it again on Saturday to try to get math up. If anyone has a ballpark range I would REALLY appreciate it!
Thanks soooo much</p>
<p>BC does not publish scores by school, but you are in the range. Try to bump up that Math score.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>thanks I will try! </p>
<p>btw: after your test, get cracking on that supplemental essay. Show – not tell – BC why you are a good fit for them – what do you bring to the educational community on Chestnut Hill? </p>
<p>Think about the Jesuit ideals of scholarship, loyalty and service.</p>
<p>bump</p>
<p>@benvenuta:
@bluebayou gave you some excellent input. Is there something else you were looking for?</p>
<p>would you be able to chance me on my other thread? thanks I would really appreciate it</p>
<p>@benvenuta:
I used to think I could “chance” applicants (in my younger and naive days).<br>
Read through the past “Decision” threads for BC on this CC forum. You’ll see applicants with stronger profiles than yours who got rejected, as well as many with weaker profiles who got accepted.</p>
<p>Only you can answer the real question. What are you doing to improve your chance of getting accepted?
How badly do you want to attend BC?
What are you doing to get straight A’s this semester?
Have you been studying for the SATs every waking hour for your retake?</p>
<p>You might get accepted without doing any of that. </p>
<p>It’d be great if you bump up the math score, as noted above. As bluebayou said, work very hard on the supplementary essay. Since all of the topics get at formation, this is an area where you can differentiate yourself. Students who just phone an essay in on this really aren’t a fit at a Jesuit school. Remember that many students whose SATs are below average (like, about half, though schools don’t report medians, just means) are admitted so look at your application as a whole, since that’s what Admissions will do.</p>
<p>What’s your GPA? Having known many relatives who went to, and are at BC, it is very political; meaning if you have connections through someone they are most likely going to admit you. BC will admit less qualified applicants if they are a legacy or if they are well connected, that why you see a lot of kids with higher stats than you getting rejected, and kids with lower stats being accepted. However if you truly are a stellar student, you should have a good chance </p>

<p>Can you substantiate this? Legacy may carry weight at many schools, but BC doesn’t have such a track record. </p>
<p>I don’t think you are foolish enough to believe BC has no slant in their application process.
Every school does and BC is no different. 70% of enrolled kids last year were Catholic. Getting into BC from a private Catholic HS is certainly easier.</p>
<p>@anotherparent22:
Tell that to the furious BC alum parents who replied here over the years furious that their son or daughter didn’t get accepted, after they’ve donated $100-$500 annually. </p>
<p>There was also a regular contributor here for years who had ties to the BC admissions office. And he would frequently comment about how legacy played so little of a role.</p>
<p>@anotherparent22:</p>
<p>“Getting into BC from a private Catholic HS is certainly easier.”</p>
<p>Nope</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Perhaps slightly true for those attending Jesuit high schools, but not bcos they attend a Catholic HS per se; rather such applicant ‘gets’ the Jesuit education thing and can wax eloquently about it in the supplemental essay, strengthening the fit argument. But a supplemental won’t make up for a lackluster transcript.</p>
<p>(Sure, anyone else can do some research on Jesuit education and craft their essay accordingly, but few do.)</p>
