<p>What are my chances at USC, BC, BU, UNC-Chapel Hill, Northwestern, and Stanford like?</p>

<p>I think you have pretty good chances of getting into USC and UNC I’ve done alot of research on both schools. Stanford is an incredibly hard school to get into on the other hand. Their acceptance rate is 10% and you have to get perfect scores to get in. My cousin got a 35 on his ACT and did alot of school activites like student council, football, and baseball along with National Honors Society. He didn’t get accepted and he had a 4.3 GPA. If you are planning on playing college football I would suggest registering to maxpreps.com because it’s a great way to help get noticed since alot of high school players use it and it’s a great way to possibly get scholarship money!</p>

<p>SAT Subject Tests: 760 Bio M (and 740 Bio E), 760 Math II, 690 Spanish
AP Tests: Spanish - 4, Bio - 5, AB Calc - taking in May, Statistics - taking in May</p>

<p>Take it for what you will, but your GPA is low for all these schools except maybe BU. I’d say they are reaches, except BU.</p>

<p>could someone take another look?</p>

<p>Might alsp look at Holy Cross-very good school 1 hour from Boston. HC has great combination of academics and athleics. Holy Cross has one of the best alumni networks-helps in job placement and the HC application due date is January 15th.</p>
