<p>I am currently a junior in high school and I just visited Boston College and loved it. Im worried that I wont get in though. I'm afraid a couple bad grades will hurt my chances Do I have any chance if I apply early action or regular decision? I plan of getting an additional rec letter from one of the deans at Villanova who is a good family friend. </p>
