<p>I’m currently about to start my Junior Year. My GPA (up until now) is about 4.48 (weighted) with mainly all A’s and A+'s except for B’s in math. All of my classes are accelerated = the highest classes you can take until junior/senior year. What are my chances of getting into BC so far?</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: Varsity Field Hockey, Lacrosse, English Honor Society, Math Honor Society, French Honor Society, Student Council PR, Peer Outreach, Model United Nations (President), SADD, Concert Choir, 5 school plays, Meeting of the Mind, etc.</p>
<p>I am Planning on taking AP US History next year and then AP English & AP Government my senior year. My school offers a very limited selection of AP’s.</p>
<p>I did get a C+ (my one and only) in my last quarter of Geometry, yet my yearly grade will average to a B.</p>
<p>*What can I do to improve my chances (note: I haven’t taken the SAT’s or SAT II’s yet)</p>
<p>Jeanna;
My son is trying to qualify for BC, and I wish he had your grades!
But, keep your grades up, take some kind of SAT tutoring program, and take the SAT's at least 2X. Both of my kids scores rose 50 points each time they took them.
Does your HS offer dual enrollment at a local college? Check it out. Can't hurt.
Get great teacher recommendations and write a great essay.
Apply to colleges that compete with BC.
Do you know anybody who went to BC that can write a recommendation? A friend of a friend can interview you and provide positive feedback; i.e.
Also, excel in 1 thing, and become very good at it. I.e. the field hockey coach may like you and write a note they'd like you to attend so you can "walk on."
Go to a BC camp, if offered in what you want to pursue.
This applies to anything you excel at.
Good luck!</p>
<p>^^I wish your son the best of luck; I just hope my grades will stay high for the next two years. I've corresponded w/ the field hockey coach and I think Model UN is probably (aside from sports) my main focus, although I'm staying w/ the other activities as well.</p>
<p>^No SAT scores quite yet</p>
<ul>
<li>I did take the PSAT last year (beginning of Sophomore year) and they weren't too good:</li>
</ul>
<p>The percentages were (Our of all students taking the test nation-wide):
-65-70% math (horrible!!!)
-86% Writing
-95% Critical Reading</p>
<p>...I'll take them again this coming October</p>
