<p>The SAT is going to hurt, and I don’t know much about IB grades, so I can’t really give an accurate estimate :(</p>

<p>i think your SAT is OK. With a great essay & great recommendations, I think you can get in! According to Business Week, Boston College’s middle 80 % ranges from 1270-1410 ([Boston</a> College Undergrad Profile](<a href=“Bloomberg Businessweek - Bloomberg”>Bloomberg Businessweek - Bloomberg)) Just make sure you show interest I think that is key with just about every institution you apply to! I’m applying to, Good Luck! </p>

<p>p.s. Chance me back please! : )</p>

<p>To be honest, you’re going to have a hard time getting in. The glaring weakness in your application has to be the SAT score. As far as the IB curriculum goes, I would really doubt taking IB courses would help you all too much. I realize that IB courses maybe harder than AP courses, but once you receive 30k+ applicants with the majority of them taking multiple AP and IB classes, the advantage of taking an IB course is pretty much null. </p>

<p>Other helpful stats to post would be the number of hours you volunteered, ethnicity, state/country you’re applying from. This information could either help or hurt your chances.</p>

<p>yeah i have to agree w/ everyone else. the SAT is the weak spot here. maybe JUST MAYBE it’ll be overlooked somewhat if you have good grades.</p>
