<p>So I’m getting kind of nervous because BC is my first choice, and I know admission has gotten really competitive lately. I applied RD (I needed 2nd quarter to boost up my grades in a few AP classes) to CAS, pre-med (even more competitive?)</p>
<p>Gender: female
Ethnicity: Asian
School: public, but very competitive. definitely has a good reputation among Ivies and other top colleges
Rank: top 5-10%
GPA: 3.90 UW, 4.30 W
Heavy courseload senior year
Excellent teacher and guidance counselor recommendations</p>
<p>Scores
SAT: 1430/2180
SAT II: Math Level 2-720; US History-720
AP scores: U.S. History- 5</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
have played guitar for past 6 years/participated in annual concerts
National Honor Society, Latin Honor Society, National Technical Honor Society (officer)
People for Animal Welfare Club (including hours of volunteer work)
Various internships at local hospital (total of 50 hours or so)
Math and Latin tutor (math tutoring was voluntary, about 35 hours)</p>
<p>Strengths: GPA, SAT scores, teacher recs. My personal essay was about an experience that expresses Jesuit values (community service, helping the poor).
Weakness: diversity of extracurriculars…pretty much just music + community service clubs</p>
<p>Any comments would be appreciated. I think I have a good shot, but nothing really stands out in my application that would make me confident. I’m also worried that declaring pre-med might hurt my chances because there might be a more competitive pool there. Thoughts?</p>
