Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hello! I am a senior this year and was wondering what my chances are for Boston College. Here are my stats

GPA: 4.56
ACT: 32
SAT: 1990 (retaking because it is not at all what I wanted)
SAT Subjects: Awaiting results
Class Rank: 1/175
Awards: AP Scholar and AP Scholar with distinction, National Hispanic Recognition Award (National Hispanic Scholar), National Merit Semifinalist
EC: Tennis State Champion (Also competed in Junior Team Tennis Nationals), National Honor Society Vice President, TATU/SADD member and planning committee, HOSA national qualifier, Marching Band (Drumline) up to senior year (we won a few drum line and percussion awards), regular band and percussion since 5th grade until senior year, Journalism Assistant editor Senior year, and chosen as member of a youth foundation committee to create grants for local charities for 2015 year.

Miscellaneous: Between my sophomore and junior year I attended National Youth Leadership Forum: Careers in Medicine over the summer and between my Junior and senior year applied and attended Girl’s State, getting elected various things within this (Platform delegate, councilwoman, etc.)
Special Skills: I am fluent in Spanish
Service: I volunteer each week for 2 hours at my local hospital’s oncology building

Can you chance me? I felt like I had a pretty good chance until I posted looking for safety schools and was told I may not get in at all because I wasn’t too impressive.

Good ACT score, good demographic for BC, good geography. I would say above average chance.

What scale is your GPA? Will you try out for the marching band?

3

@TurnerT The scale is on 4. This is my weighted GPA. And not in college. It was more of an interest to pursue during highschool.

4

I think your chances are better than average. Does BC require all tests be submitted or can you just send the ACT.

5

I wouldn’t put NYLF on your application; colleges know that it’s pretty exclusive because it’s pricey. Set my parents back 3k and not everyone can shell out that kind of money. You don’t want to sound elitist.

6

@anxiousenior1 I only put it because I want colleges to see i am interested and actively pursue medicine. Is it really that bad?

7

I’m just saying what my counselor told me. Don’t take my word for it though if you really want to put it! Just throwing the thought out there.

8

I think you’ll get in.

9

You have a very good shot, especially with your demographic.

10

might add Holy CROSS-very good pre-med program. HC has beautiful campus 1 hour from Boston and offers good financial aid.

11

You have amazing stats. With your geography, test scores, and race (no offense colleges look at that alot sometimes) you have an excellent chance at getting in.

Please change me back!
