<p>What are my chancing of getting in? i would love to get some sort of a scholarship but what do you think?</p>

2

<p>bump......</p>

3

<p>a 3.74 is NOT a 93.5. A 93.5 is a 4.0.
You will NOT get a scholarship from BC... No one does except for a select few who get full scholarships (I am almost certain that this is how it works at BC)</p>

4

<p>Yeah, they give out a Presidential Scholarship, but it is extremely difficult to get; usually the kids who get them are Ivy-League caliber applicants.</p>

5

<p>At my school a 93.5 is equal to a 3.7.</p>

6

<p>a 93.5 is equivalent to an "A"
Why would a school give you a 3.7 for this???
What is the highest GPA you can have???</p>

7

<p>Sorry for hijacking your thread Ace but.....</p>

<p>4.3= 99-100 (A+) 4.0= 96-98 (A) 3.7= 94-95 (A-) 3.3= 92-93(B+) 3.0= 89-91 (B) 2.7= 87-88 (B-) 2.3= 85-86 (C+) 1.7= 82-84 (C)
1.3= 80-81 (C-)</p>

<p>Ok, I think you get the point. That's our grading scale. Weighting is just 1.0 higher, highest=5.3</p>

8

<p>4.5 is the highest weighted GPA you can get at my school, but 4.0-4.5 is A+, 3.01-4.0=A, 2.01-3.0=B, 1.01-2.0=C, etc.</p>

9

<p>its ok my school uses a numeric average so i officially have a 93.5%. So im not sure this is gpa wise but thats not the point.
Can I get in?????</p>

10

<p>I think it's virtually impossible to predict whether you will get in to BC. It has become an extremely competitive and unpredictable admissions process. I would not say that you are definitely in or out...you have a decent chance I think. I honestly don't think, however, that you will get one of the 15 merit scholarships that BC awards each year. Best of luck!</p>

11

<p>I hope you get in, because my daughter applied EA and she has very similar stats to you, plus she taught CCD for 2 years also---5th grade! What a coincidence. I think you have a good shot at admittance. Where do you live?</p>

<p>70reve4rotag, lets not over estimate bc, it isnt harvard</p>

<p>ace1054- He is right...just look at the caliber of kids who got on the wait list last year</p>
