<p>Dear bahrunychoi : Since this thread has been bumped several times, it seemed time for honest discussion about the balance of your overall profile. Very clearly, your college board scores are excellent for Boston College and excellent at many campuses across the United States. Rather than cheering that academic axis, let’s talk about your overall balance.</p>
<p>First, your resume demonstrates no involvement in sports at all. There will be some who say that this parameter does not and should not matter in the evaluation process, however it demonstrates a level of involvement in your high school’s fabric, regardless of your personal achievement level. Second, you have demonstrated a music background which lends itself to the arts in your application. Musically, you will however be competing against students who have excelled at the state and regional levels.</p>
<p>Your class rank is low for the overall Boston College picture. By and large, you are between the 15th and 20th percentile applying to a campus looking for top 10 percent placements. Hence, your high school academic performance makes BC a bit of a stretch. With four AP exams, you will be average overall in the applicant pool, but you are missing AP in the hard sciences, history, english, and languages. On the surface, this seems to imply that you have been taking courses below the top levels offered by your high school and to that end, your application will also be flagged as not as rigorous as the typical BC student.</p>
<p>So, my conclusion is that your are far less than 50/50 for admission - apology for that view, but your resume while strong on the board testing axis, does not match that strength when compared to the general applicant. Good luck - and if BC is your top choice, I hope that I have misread your background.</p>
