Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I've already applied EA and am very nervous/excited about getting a decision...here are my stats. I'm hoping this is my last chance thread :)</p>

<p>About Me:
-Female, Caucasian, Catholic, IL
-Catholic high school in Chicago suburbs, last year BC accepted 8 of the 12 kids who applied from my school.
-Applying to the Connell School of Nursing</p>

<p>Academics:
-Weighted GPA over 3 years (excluding senior year): 99.34%; self calculated to be 4.2 weighted average.
-Unweighted GPA over these same 3 years: 3.77
-APs: Calc AB, Bio, English Lit, English Language (4) [Note: the school doesn't offer nearly as many APs as I'd like it to]
-All honors courses whenever possible with the exception of history</p>

<p>Awards:
NHS, Principal's Honor Roll (99% and up) sophomore and junior years, High honors (93% and up) freshman year, Italian NHS, Italian Achievement Award (a department award) junior year, published poet</p>

<p>Test Scores:
ACT w/writing Composite 31 (35-28-33-26-10)</p>

<p>Principal ECs:
-Hospital Volunteer (my main activity which I loved, knee injury ended this experience for me, explained in my essay)
-Cancer support organization volunteer (my new activity)
-Italian Club President
-Flute (I play on my own, but I was trained as a child)
-NHS, working on the Induction Committee in the spring
-Park district softball
-At least 130 service hours by the time I graduate</p>

<p>Essays:
I am in love with my essay, as is my best friend who is applying to schools of a higher caliber than I am. It relates my knee injury to my passion in nursing, basically.
I also added a little supplemental essay of my own about why I love Boston and how I would stand out at BC (because BC does not have a supplemental essay of its own).</p>

<p>Thank you so much for reading! I will try my best to chance you back if you wish, but, just for reference, I am no expert on HYPS. :)</p>

<p>Pretty sure you’ll get in, your stats seem to guarantee you a spot</p>

<p>Thank you for the quick response!</p>

<p>Also I forgot to add my rank: the thing is, my school does not rank, but I have figured myself to be in the top 10%. Of the 262 kids in my class who attended my school last year (some transfer out, we have some transfers this year too, so our class number fluctuates), 23 made Principal’s Honor Roll (99% and up). So that would put me in at least the top 10%.</p>

<p>They would definitely accept you.
You seem like a perfect applicant.</p>

<p>And id love to study anywhere in Boston <3</p>
