Forgot to mention recommendations!
I have two recs from teachers (one I believe is very strong) and then a rec from the director of my teen leadership program which I got the chance to read and am so grateful for. 4 pages long! :slight_smile:
I also had the founder of the Boston College club advocate for me

You have done solid work but BC may be a bit of a stretch. I’d feel better if your GPA was higher or your ACT was higher. Go to prescholor.co m - lookup BC and plug in your stats.

I agree that my GPA/ACT are nothing special and it does worry me a little. I’m just hoping that my essays, recommendations, and the founder of the BC club advocating for me will do me justice. Definitely not expecting an acceptance though, hopefully a deferral.

This is the real Mary moriarty here… somebody I know decided to post my stats on here without my permission. I also have no idea why she said in another thread that she was from North Dakota when she just isn’t. People are the worst.
