Hi! Would anybody who applied to Boston College nursing school be willing to share their stats? Thank you!
Hey, I applied and was accepted. I took 6 APs and the rest of my classes were honors classes. I have a 97.3 GPA. I got an 1890 on the SAT. I’m in the top 6% of my class. 3 good recommendations. Wrote my common app essay about playing guitar and my BC essay about FGM. I do swimming and lacrosse, and had about 90-odd volunteer hours, including 40 at a hospital. I am a full-time lifeguard during the summer. My mom went to BC, so I’m a legacy. I have no religion and I am white.
Thank you! What other schools were you considering?
Accepted! 3.8 uw gpa, 4.09 weighted

Great Common App Essay
Best supplemental I wrote. I chose the political issue question and talked about illegal immigration.
Below average extracurriculars
Probably won’t be attending unless they can be competitive with Villanova’s financial aid offer

Just to clarify, my supplement said that the immigration process should be easier. Since BC is Jesuit, and Jesuits are pretty liberal, it wasn’t as risky of a topic as it sounds
I guess here’s another one
