<p>Dear rooneydbc : The across-the-board SAT scores in the 700s are very atttractive for Boston College. What's with the SAT II score on Math 1? That is a real red flag for anyone reading your profile - not a show stopper - just a red flag. Your AP scores are fine - nothing there that puts up a hurdle. The congressional access angle is interesting, but suggestion would be to play one theme from it rather than trying to "fill" multiple lines with the same data. Clearly golf is a passion - one that you might want to consider at the collegiate level? Given your political science interest, it would seem that Georgetown and George Washington should also be in your listing of schools. Good luck.</p>
