Chance Me for Boston College

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello
I would really appreciate it if someone could chance me for BC, my dream school.</p>

<p>I am a rising senior at an all-girls' Catholic college prep academy in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. My GPA is a 96 (we use the GPA scale that is out of 100), my SAT is 2150 (CR-730, M-620, W-800), and I am in the top 20 of my class. I am white and I suppose middle-upper middle class.</p>

<p>Senior year courses:
AP Lit
AP Gov
AP Euro
Honors Stat
Honors Anatomy
Honors French 4
Honors Theology</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
Student Council (senior class president)
member of National Honor Society
member of TriM Music Honor Society
member of school's Glee Club and Chorale
7 year member of Pennsylvania Girlchoir (group outside of school; audition-only, professional group)
president of Respect Life Club
Diversity Club member</p>

<p>Other Distinctions/Activities:
-recipient of Good Citizenship Award from the Union League of Philadelphia
-large focus on anti-bullying work (began annual "Kindness Week" at school- activities have included assemblies, creation of murals, dances for children with special needs; spoke at rally to 500 elementary school students about bullying, have spoken to my grade school and another area high school, currently part of grant to speak to more schools)</p>

<p>Work:
-summer job in Ocean City, NJ at boutique for 3 summers thus far (assistant manager)
-former employee at Barnes & Noble</p>

<p>I would really appreciate input and feedback! My biggest concern is that Calc is not on my schedule (we only offer AP Calc at my school- math is not my strong suit and I know many struggle immensely in the class). Is this a huge issue for this selective of a school? I also do not want to study anything math related (I am a hopeful History/Secondary Ed major).</p>

<p>Thank you to any replies!!</p>

<p>I think you have a really good chance. GPA/SAT are on par with what is accepted at BC, extracurriculars are good and your major is not overly competitive, so that should help.</p>

<p>BC: Match</p>

<p>Is there anything about Villanova that you didn’t like? Too close to home, perhaps?</p>

<p>It does come down to location in regard to Villanova, really. Having grown up on the other side of the bridge I am not a big fan of the Main Line. I also thought that BC was much more accessible to Boston than Villanova is to Philly and I am definitely looking to be in or very close to a city. Thank you for your reply!</p>
