Chance Me-Boston College

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Stats: I have taken 8 Honors classes, 5 AP classes, and 3 college classes through the running start program. I have a 3.6 UW GPA and a 4.3 W GPA. I am in the top quarter of my class and I have a 26 ACT. I am Hispanic and am applying for financial aid. </p>

<ul>
<li>I have always challenged myself in school, but have always gotten a B in AP math and science classes. I have taken AP classes ranging from Art History to Calculus. I am eager to learn everything and I love to challenge myself. My GPA dropped last year because I moved to a new high school my junior year, but as of now I have a 4.0 UW GPA this semester.</li>

Deep in three areas of EC’s, didn’t show a million things, just focused on three big areas that I showed passion in.</p>

<p>Weighed GPA is solid. Did you take the SAT’s? 26 is low for ACT. I know that 29 seems to be the minimum.
Can you show some more leadership roles with your EC’s?</p>
