Boston College... Early Action or Regular Decision?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi,
I'm currently a senior in Massachusetts and am in LOVE with BC.</p>

<p>My GPA is a 4.617 on a 5.0 scale, and I am in the top 10% of my graduating class (364 people). </p>

<p>My highest ACT is a 31 (English 33, Math 32, Reading 31, Science 29, and the combined english/writing 30) and my highest SAT is a 1980 (610 Critical Reading, 700 Math, and 670 Writing).</p>

<p>My SAT subject tests are a 760 in Math Level 2, and a 670 in Spanish (both taken June of my junior year). </p>

<p>I took the AP World History test last year and got a 4.</p>

<p>My EC's are: A job starting this past summer, Girl's Varsity Cross Country, a daily volunteer for two whole summers at a local hospital, a volunteer at Red Cross, an Officer at Best Buddies, and I play guitar, clarinet, and Piano (have been playing since 4 years old and am in the school's jazz band for 3 years), and I am also fluent in Russian and English. I also take care of my 30 year old brother who is mentally disabled afterschool.</p>

<p>This past summer I also took two classes at BC: Anatomy&Physiology I and Anatomy&Physiology Lab. I received two A's from BC. </p>

<p>In terms of school, I've been taking the most challenging courses: all honors and AP classes (World History last year and AP Spanish, Calc AB, and Biology this year). I have received mostly A's and a few B+ses. </p>

<p>In terms of the future, I am looking to study pre-med and major in Biology. </p>

<p>I really really really really love BC- the professors are incredible, the campus environment is so welcoming, the campus itself is BEAUTIFUL, it's close to home, and they have a program where sophomore year I can be admitted to Tufts Medical School.</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting in? Do you think it's better to apply Early or Regular?</p>

<p>Thank you SO much!</p>

<p>Anyone??? I’m freaking out!!!</p>

<p>I would apply early action if I were you. Your scores seem to definitely comply with that of BC’s, and you have many EC’s to supplement with that. Your chances seem to be very high, so there is no need to freak out :)</p>

<p>Hey, i think you have a great chance, you seem to be a very complete applicant, try to highlight what makes you love Boston College in your essay and you’ll probably get in. Best of luck.
Chance me back if you can:

<p>Thanks consigliere!</p>

<p>I heard BC loves when people specifically write about the qualities of BC that stand out and that interest them over other colleges, I am quite sure that you are a great match!</p>

10

<p>Would I write about that in the common app essay or the supplement?</p>

11

<p>Any other opinions? I will chance you back if you chance me :)</p>

12

<p>Supplement; BC does not really focus on the common app essay because it is used for every school.</p>

13

<p>Ok thanks so much!</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
