<p>Essay: Wrote about how I discovered the power of leadership in working to re-elect the governor, how he inspired the people he spoke to and gave them hope. I think it’s solid and personal.</p>
<p>Recs: One from English teacher and one from History teacher; both should be comprehensive, and mostly positive.</p>
<p>Dear headingsouth : Some immediate observations include your unweighted GPA at 3.55 (not likely a top 10% class member, likely top 25%), extremely limited honors profile, one course listed for senior year at an AP curriculum level, currently a one season (as opposed to two or three season athlete), limited outside interests expressed, no clubs listed, and finally no external volunteerism. </p>
<p>The essay summary describes the picture as “mostly positive” and does not expressly answer the question as to what you add to the Boston College community - how do you make the campus a better place so that BC is compelled to offer you admission. Massachusetts is still the most heavily represented state (20%) at BC which further works against your application.</p>
<p>Aside from the 2100 SAT I three-way score, this profile is not particularly intriguing as an early action application. This resume might meet significant resistance in the regular decision pool unless you can somehow fill the gaps that we have cited.</p>
