<p>Wow.....I think you definately would</p>

<p>(I'm saying this because I had a 28 ACT, 3.8 ish GPA and I was only Top 10% in a class of only 90 and I got in)</p>

3

<p>Anyone else??</p>

4

<p>your from wyoming so that probably increases your chances...your stats are also good</p>

5

<p>AllieJ -To help you realistically assess your chances: my D was deferred EA and her stats are 4.36 GPA, 30 ACT, 2070 SAT, lots of ECs such as 4 yrs volleyball, pres of Spanish club, teaches sunday school. She is very disappointed, but hope springs eternal!</p>

6

<p>Well here's another case to asses your chances:
I was accepted to Carroll with a 1970 SAT, 3.8/4.0 UW GPA, and a bunch of ECs but no leadership positions or activity that really stood out. I dont get any affirmative action either (asian).</p>

<p>Wow this process is so random...i feel a bit more lucky after seeing the stats of people that didnt get accepted.</p>

7

<p>SAT-1990
GPA-3.93
some activities w/ a few leadership positions (not president, both secretary)</p>

<p>I had nothing earth-shattering on my app. and I got in to the CAS EA.</p>

8

<p>alliej, you will definitely get in.</p>

9

<p>i think u have almost 100% change of getting in</p>

10

<p>I think you'll get in because unlike the others who posted their stats and didn't get in, you're from wyoming and almost no-one, if anyone, ever applys to BC from your area.</p>
