<p>You'll be fine at Providence, I think. =)
And I don't know anything about BC, so don't ask me. x) But you seem like a really good candidate for a lot of schools. The SAT is a lil bit of a problem, but push it up a little and you'll be in great shape.</p>

<p>you look good for BC =) my friend had lower stats then you and got in easily.</p>

<p>definitely in at PC (do they give merit money? because you would most likely get some). as you know, BC is tougher, but i think you are a good applicant and have a decent chance. good luck.</p>
