<p>You have a great shot. Is it a top choice? what are your ACT’s or SAT’s?</p>

3

<p>Oh, whoops, I forgot about those. </p>

<p>SAT: 2150 (Math: 730, CR: 680, Writing: 740) and I retook it October 6th - hopefully my scores went up</p>

<p>SAT II: Chemistry: 770, Math II: 710 - retaking Math II and taking Biology November 3rd</p>

<p>My top choice is Tufts, but I definitely like the looks of BC as well!</p>

4

<p>You seem fine. If BC is a top choice and you don’t plan on applying ED to Tufts, you may want to consider EA.</p>

<p>Okay, thank you. :)</p>
