<p>If you retake that ACT, and get it above 30 then I think you are set! Being catholic helps however.</p>

<p>Get the test scores up and chances are decent. ECs are nothing special, though. Everyone at higher-end schools does NHS, Hospital, Yearbook. Try to find something that will really give you an edge. Is there anything that you do which is really unique? The best thing to get you into BC will be anything that will make the Admissions Reps say “WOW, we could really benefit from having someone like that here!”.</p>

<p>“Everyone at higher-end schools does NHS, Hospital, Yearbook”</p>

<p>I really don’t see everyone doing yearbook. That takes an incredible amount of commitment, hard work, and talent. Especially if you’re an editor. A lot people just can’t handle that kind of pressure.</p>

<p>Everyone was an exaggeration but I can guarantee you that a HUGE amount of applicants were yearbook editors. It does demonstrate leadership, but they receive PLENTY of apps from students who were "Yearbook Editor"s. It will help, but it really isn’t anything special. And I would disagree that Yearbook Editor is really a very challenging job. It requires very little actual talent thanks to all of the resources we have at our disposal for grammar and spell checking. For instance, yearbook is done as a course at my school; it really is nothing special.</p>
