Chances for a junior

<p>GPA:
freshman- 3.56 (1 honors course)
sophmore- 3.64
junior- 3.78 (1 AP)
senior- decent schedule (1 AP)</p>

<p>SATs:
1060/1600: 500v and 560m
i’m taking a class and am going to take it again as well as ACT</p>

<p>OTHER:
4 years of field hockey (possible captain)
1 year of soccer (sportsmanship award)
1 year of track and field
placed 1st in science fair
3 years of national honor society
2 years in DECA
65 hours+ of community service
internship at an elementary school (want to major in education)
played years on a soccer team outside of school</p>

<p>Right now, I dont think you will make it. Your SATS are too low and the GPA could be a little higher in the earlier high school years. However your EC's are great and the volunteer work is great also.</p>

<p>Get those SATS up, do good on the ACT, improve your GPA as a senior and I think you will have a good chance.</p>

<p>if it helps any, i'll post my stats. i was deferred and then accepted RD. however, i know people with similar stats who were ultimately waitlisted.</p>

<p>gpa: 4.646/4
rank: 8/284
sats: 1480/1600 (740m, 740v)
total ap's taken: 8 (eng lang., eng. lit., us history, biology, chemistry, spanish, economics, calc.)</p>

<p>i had a lot of EC's too. not quite the amount of volunteer stuff as you do, but i had a lot of leadership. also, i tutored two-three times a week and have two jobs.</p>

<p>i think, though, college acceptances are random. i'd try and bring up your sat's a little bit.</p>

<p>honestly, i think you'd have to write some really kick ass essays. Your GPA is kinda low and you're not taking nearly enough APs. + of course you'd have to up your SAT a little</p>

<p>S accepted RD -- basic stats higher than PSU 88, lower than bostongirl.
Solid, but not dazzling ECs, good service record (mandatory for Jesuit HS and confirmation)
Assume recommendations were good
Essay must have been adequate -- (my eval as the mom w/ an English degree was that it, too, was solid, but definitely written by a 17-year-old)
Hook: Jesuit HS from outside the northeast corridor</p>

<p>We also listened VERY carefully at the info session we attended summer 05 and followed the instructions closely. He sent in the BC supplement and fee in August. He was advised by the BC adcom rep who visited his school to go RD. He made a second trip over the winter for a Day Visit to see the school up & running. So if there was any consideration for degree of interest, he definitely had shown he had made the effort (especially considering that each visit involved plane travel.)</p>

<p>Hope this helps. Good luck. And boy, am I glad we're done!</p>

<p>right now... i think you should probably work for a higher sat score and gpa. you can definitely apply, but don't set your heart on any single school and become crushed...
good luck</p>

<p>Are you black, hispanic, native american? If not, you won't get in.</p>

<p>i'm greek..does that help any?</p>

<p>well this is from collegeboard, hope this helps</p>

<p>okay thanks</p>

<p>You have certainly have a chance. You really should get your SATs up though. As for the GPA, no one can really say unless they know your school and its context. Those numbers could be one of the best in a very competitive school or not. Personally, I got in EA with a 3.25 GPA.</p>

<p>Your SAT's hurt you a lot, so does the lack of honors and AP, unless your school offers nothing harder. Your community service is good though, I think thats what got me accepted EA this year. Try to emphasize your community service on your app. Apply EA, good luck.</p>

<p>Admissions will be the first to tell you they have no "set" acceptance profile. Do your best in school and apply. Enjoy the high school experience by staying active and involved and where ever you do attend will be good for you. The best advise we received is "you get into the school where you belong." Good news: there are alot of good schools... but BC is amazing!</p>
