<p>Bump!!!</p>

<p>Bump!!!</p>

4

<p>Come on!!!</p>

5

<p>BC is also on my list and from what I know your ec’s are looking good and so is your act but your GPA is a little low but still competitive. Is your GPA weighted or unweighted?</p>

6

<p>it’s unweighted!</p>

7

<p>Ok so, assuming you’re not a ■■■■■, and you actually did ALL THOSE THINGS, you have a HUGE chance of getting in. Just bump up your GPA a bit next semester, and maybe retake the ACT for a higher school. </p>

<p>Chance back?

<p>Wait, why are assuming that I didn’t do all of those things?</p>

<p>Great chance. BC = Match.</p>

<p>teenbodybuilder, I already chanced you :)!</p>

11

<p>I forgot. Thanks!</p>

12

<p>You seem to be very scattered, so make sure you are clear that you love all the things you are doing.
BC: high match</p>

13

<p>Thanks kitts95! What do you mean by scattered exactly? Too many clubs?</p>

14

<p>I think it’s a combination of all the clubs, sports and other activities. It just seems like there isn’t enough time to devote to any specific thing! But I guess you must have excellent time-management skills (which I need to get!) :)</p>

15

<p>:) thank you kitts95!!! It’s hard, but I manage somehow :))) Are you going to a senior this year?</p>

16

<p>Yup! I’m looking at Boston College as well, for RD. Hopefully we both get in!</p>

17

<p>Hopefully!!! If you get in, will you most likely attend?</p>

18

<p>It depends on where else I get accepted :D</p>

19

<p>lol, that’s true! What’s your top choice?</p>

20

<p>Princeton, but that’s not really realistic, so I’m hoping for BC and Johns Hopkins as well as Northeastern. Good luck to both of us!</p>
