Chance at Carroll? (Regular)

<p>^ I disagree with that assessment. Yes, it is a bit troublesome that he has not participated in sports at all; however let us not forget he is applying to an ACADEMIC institution. BC, like other schools, is looking to improve its ranking to reach the “top 20” echelon (the Vandy, Emory, Gtown range). To do this, they need to have higher score ranges; meaning they need students with higher SATs to enroll. However, many 1500+/1600 students are going to be overqualified for BC, and will likely opt to attend a more highly ranked institution. With this in mind, the applicants with high test scores and less stellar grades could be the most intriguing applicants to a school at B.C.'s level; as there is a pretty good chance that student will matriculate if accepted, thus raising their score range, ranking, and ultimately prestige. To me, this is very logical, but I am not sure if B.C. has a ranking-driven admissions process as many other top schools do. haha and its apparent that the OP can handle BCs workload, so that is not an issue. I would say he has a fairly high chance of acceptance.</p>
