Hi, I applied early action to Boston College’s Connell School of Nursing and I’d like to have a rough idea of my chances. Please let me know (Be Honest)
About Me:
Hispanic
Female
Public HS in VA
Single-Income Household
Stats:
GPA- 4.24 W (My school doesn’t do UW)
SAT- 1440 (superscore)
National Hispanic Scholar (through the College Board’s National Hispanic Recognition Program)
Honor Roll (either All-A or A/B) throughout the past 3 years
Academic Achievement Award (through my school)
Academic Varsity Letter (through my school)
Junior Year:
IB Math SL2, IB HOA, IB Biology 1, IB Latin 1, IB Lang & Lit 1, plus 2 Elective classes
My senior year is going pretty well so hopefully if I get deferred that will help!
ECs:
- Field Hockey (9-12) (Captain, 1st Team All-District and 2nd Team All-Region Honors)
- Lacrosse (9-12) (Captain, 1st Team All-District and 2nd Team All-Region, Defensive MVP at my school, won district championship with my school)
- Captain of my Club Lacrosse team (9-12)
- Yearbook Coverage Editor (10-12)
- Manager of my school’s Wrestling Team (9-12)
- National Honor Society (11-12)
- Member of Best Buddies Club (Student-run friendship club)\
- Had a job as a Nanny over the Summer
- Volunteer at my local hospital (Elder Life Program)
- Youth Group
I have no idea how good my Teacher Recs were, but I hope they were good. I also included one from my field hockey coach, which I assume is good. My essays were about things I am passionate about, so hopefully that will show when the admissions officers read them.
I honestly don’t know my chances. I’m really hoping to get in EA but every time I look at all of the awesome stats on this website and I get discouraged. Please be honest and let me know if you think my resume is strong enough for BC Nursing EA. Thanks!
