<p>Low Reach, from a local’s perspective (down the hill from me). How’s your class rank, SAT IIs, WGPA?</p>

<p>GPA ain’t too shabby for BC, but the issue is your ACT…a 30 would be so much better.
Planning on EAing BC? That’d help you much. </p>

<p>There’s an ongoing debate, but hard work in a job is good, good stuff for you in college apps. Slide that on your resume, as jobs take time, commitment, and responsibility. 500 hours is a hell lot of time, responsibility and commitment.</p>

<p>Good luck with BC!
Chance back if you will:

<p>Yeah I agree, BC is a little bit of a stretch at this point, but if you get your ACT up you should be fine.

<p>It’s a low reach/high match. If you write solid essays and bring up your ACT then your chances increase a lot. Good luck!

<p>I’d call it a solid reach unless you can get a 30, then i’d say low reach. Your GPA is also slightly low so really sell your self in essays and make sure your recs are perfect. Nice course rigor also. Hopefully no D’s, otherwise you should be fine, but a D is a deal breaker. </p>
