Chances at Boston College, Villanova, Holy Cross, and Providence College?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Could someone chance me for any or all of these schools? I know they are probably all reaches (except maybe PC) but I just want to see if I have even a small chance of getting into any of them. BC is my top choice.

GPA: overall is somewhere around a 3.6 uw, although junior year I got a 3.7
Classes: I have taken all honors and AP classes; junior year I took 2 AP’s and 3 honors, and this year I am taking 5 AP’s. I have also taken 4 years of all 5 core subjects
SAT: super score is 1340 (670 CR, 670 Math), although I am retaking it next weekend and I’m hoping to get both scores to 700
EC’s: 4 years of choir, 2 years of chamber choir (it’s a pretty competitive auditioned group), 2 years of women’s choir, 2 years of Unified Theater (it’s a group where we put on musical performances with kids from our school who have special needs), 2 years of varsity rowing, 2 years of World Language Honor Society. I’ve also had a part-time job for 2 years
School: highly ranked public school
Rank: my school doesn’t rank

A lot of my EC’s weren’t formed/weren’t available to me until junior year, which is why I only have 2 years experience for a lot of them.
Also my guidance counselor told me that Catholic schools might appreciate my interest in Latin (I’m in Latin 5 this year); is this true?
Thanks so much!!

BC could be reach-y, solid shot at Holy Cross and even more so Villanova, Providence you should get in. Latin is interesting if you indicate you are interested in pursuing it. Holy Cross has a very strong Classics department, and they do listen to candidates’ interests.

I would say that 1340 might a little low for Villanova (their SATs are around 1400 now for enrolled students and their ACT 30-32). Hopefully your new scores will be around 1400 or so. Overall order of admission difficulty is going be as follows:

BC hardest
Villanova next
Holy Cross a little easier than Nova
Providence

They are all good schools though

I’d say a high reach for Boston college, low reach for Villanova and maybe a high match for Villanova and I’m not well veresed to answer Providence. Chance me back please?
