Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston College

<p>I was just wondering if i had a chance at Boston College, and if applying EA would increase my chances.</p>

<p>my ACT composite is 30
but i retook it last saturday with the writing section, and i’m hoping i raised my scores, but I am not sure.</p>

<p>my gpa is 3.84 unweighted (it would be higher but I had to move in the middle of Junior year and make up 4 weeks of school work),
and I am ranked 30 out of 529 students.</p>

<p>I have attended 3 different high schools in 2 1/2 years.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars/Community Service:</p>

<p>9th grade (high school of 150 students in Texas):

<p>I have also been on the Honor Roll all three years of HS, and i plan to be on the Honor roll this year as well. </p>

<p>Also, I have taken all honors classes offered and PAP classes.
I took AP european history soph year, it was the only AP offered.
Then Junior year, i took AP BIO, AP US History, and AP calculus.
My high school in IL does not offer AP classes,
and it does not have many honors classes.
but I am taking the honors classes that they do offer.</p>

<p>Could anyone help me figure out what my chances are, please??</p>

<p>Thanks.
Do you think applying EA would increase my chances any?</p>

4

<p>According to the website, EA is actually harder than RD, and only 20% deferred EA get in RD. I'm not risking it.</p>

5

<p>oh i see. thanks! </p>

<p>Does BC take the highest scores from each individual sitting?</p>

6

<p>19382, can you add a link to the website that shows the EA stats you mentioned?</p>

7

<p>Nevermind, 19382 - I found it. Thanks anyway!</p>

8

<p>19382, is right ED is harder than RD. Which is why I am applying RD.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>i am still debating on EA or RD.<br>
BC takes the highest score from any sitting. so that makes my ACT composite a 32.
i'm going out to visit next week. I guess that will help out with the decision. :|</p>
