<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.6
SAT: 1950
Weighted GPA: 5.3</p>

<p>ECs
Varsity Debate Team 2 years - Won championship both year
President of Deca - 3 years - placed 1st at Regionals and States all 3 years. Made it to nationals Twice
FBLA - 4 years

<p>Pretty inpressive volunteer efforts. Your EC’s are very solid and a 1950 SAT is not shabby at all. IMO you are a match at George Washington University and University of Maryland - College Park, and a high match at Boston University. You may even wish to throw a few low reaches into the mix - maybe Northeastern? or reach for the stars and try Boston College?</p>

<p>I was thinking about Boston College, but I dont want to throw myself into a situation where I struggle just because I decided to go to school for its level of prestige. Obviously I want to go to the best school possible, but there is no point of going to a school if its program is above my level of intelligence - this is all hypothetical, assuming I could get into a school like Boston College.</p>

<p>College is often more about who is interested in putting in the work, not intelligence. The BC adcoms are very adept and will be likely a better judge of your success than you are. If they admit you, then they have examined the rigor of your HS, rigor of your courseload, and have concluded that you demontrate the academic preparedness required to be successful. It may be worth the $65 (or whatever BC charges) to find out what they think.</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance at all your schools. I wouldn’t be surprised if you go into all of them.</p>
