<p>Hmmmm, I think it could go either way. I'd try desperately to bring up your SATs and/or ACT's if you still have time, but they aren't very far off, if at all. Your GPA's on the lower side, but your ethnicity might bump you up, good luck!</p>

<p>Though your academic/extracurricular record is solid, I do feel that BC is a solid reach given your low GPA. Your SATS are also barely in the range (1950-2220). However, I do feel that your ethnicity may push you over the edge and I think that it can go either way.</p>

<p>Try raising those SATS about 100 points and I would say you have a very good shot especially considering your URM status.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
