<p>Do I have a shot at Boston College? And should I do EA (I heard although it’s harder, the acceptance rate is higher, but it can go either way I guess). Even saying “you have no shot” is good feedback, because I want the truth. Any comments would be great!</p>

<p>You have a decent shot. Your rank is lower than BC’s mean, but test score are a little higher. If you have no ED candidates, I’d would EA to BC.</p>

<p>i wud do RD</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback. However, would you guys mind if you could explain why I should do EA or RD? It would mean so much.</p>
