<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Bowdoin is definitely a reach I would say. Your SAT 1 score seems a bit low, I suggest getting that up to be a more competitive applicant. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>With your stats, you’ll get into Boston College for sure. Never heard of the others, but if you raise your SAT score, you’ll be that much more of a competitive applicant.</p>

<p>Thanks for responding!
@smileygirl: YES Bowdoin is such a reach for me. I’m honestly not sure I’m applying. :/</p>

5

<p>No problem! and I really suggest that you should apply- it won’t hurt your chances right? I’ll check the stats from previous classes at my school to see if it helps to apply ED or something and I’ll let you know</p>

<p>Holy Cross(don’t need to be religious) is similar to Boston College-both Jesuit schools. HC is also SAT optional like Bowdoin, and has nice campus 1 hour from Boston.</p>

<p>^ Holy Cross is not as competitive/difficult to get into as Boston college</p>
