Chances at Lynch School of Education??

<p>Hey everyone</p>

<p>Boston College is by far my first choice, and I was wondering if you all would give me my chances of admission during the regular round</p>

<p>Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it. GO EAGLES!</p>

<p>I will be applying to Lynch School of Education – Elementary Education or Secondary Education</p>

<p>Male</p>

<p>School Type: Jesuit school in texas
GPA: 3.82 unweighted/ 4.0 weighted GPA
SAT- M-670 CR-660 W- 650 (((( 1980 )))) ( 3 sittings, scores sent)
ACT- 28, Superscore is a 31 ( scores sent )
Course Rigor- 6 APs, 4 honors by graduation
Essays- They are pretty good</p>

<p>ECs- 3 sport athlete, nothing really spectacular after that</p>

<p>i think you have a good chance of being accetped. low spots are that you dont have any ECs besides for your 3 varisty sports and that your SAT scores are in the low end of the middle 50% percentile. your GPA seems good and depending on what your school offered it looks like you had a rigorous schedule. idk.. it could go either way with admission being so competitive this year</p>

<p>Dear ConfusedJunior08 : Before doing your "chance-me", a word of advice - you really need to sit down with your parents/guardians or a school counselor and determine what is important to you in your studies. You have posted about the Lynch School and then have asked about transferring to CAS. Honestly, you should NOT be applying to Lynch unless you can throw yourself 110% at the curriculum. A young lady I know just finished her first semester in Lynch and across her 5 courses completed 25+ papers, each at lengths of five to ten pages minimum - not to mention the supporting reading. That kind of work load will test your determination - and this is not an exaggeration. Think about it.</p>

<p>As for your scores, your GPA at 3.82 is fine, but your test scores are below the midpoints and your ACT score at a 28 will not be of any help at all. (Do not depend on superscoring to a 31 as your best credentials moving forward.)</p>

<p>What are the six APs you are taking - that might help to demonstrate rigor?</p>

<p>As for "pretty good" essays, they get you into "pretty good" schools - not BC. </p>

<p>Without more details on your ECs and volunteerism, it is hard to offer more at this point, but given your credentials listed, BC will be a stretch school - you have less than a 50/50 chance in the regular decision pool based on what you have presented.</p>

<p>My D is a freshman at BC...LSOE. Search my prev posts for her stats but in a nutshell her SAT was 710V, 600M, 700w, 95%avg, AP's and honors mostly, VG EC's 2 sports, clubs, class officer, some vol, etc. We were suprised that she was accepted as this was her reach school. She went to LSOE with the idea of transferring to A%S but is staying put for now, she says they really like you to stay in the LSOE and she can still get her liberal arts ed there/double major ( I think the LSOE major of human growth/development (?). She has found the course load tough enuf but not overwhelming. Biggest issue was her math class and substandard math teacher..she got a B minus in that , all the rest were A's</p>

<p>thanks everyone for your thoughts. mostly positive except scottj's little rant.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone! I really do appreciate it.</p>

<p>Anyone else have any thoughts???</p>
