I haven’t received it yet, but I know I’ll graduate Cum Laude. I don’t know if colleges care.</p>

<p>What would you recommend doing to increase my chances?</p>

<p>To increase your “chances” get all A’s.</p>

<p>While I don’t normally respond to ‘chances’ threads, I’ll just point out that statistically, BC is a big reach.</p>

<ul>
<li>Approx. 90% of matriculants are in the top decile of their class; you are in the top quarter.</li>
<li>Your test scores are below BC’s medians as well, which are ~31. (Note, supposedly BC superstores the ACT, so you should retake.)</li>
</ul>
