<p>I think I may apply to BC, but do I have enough thus far? </p>

<p>First round of SAT scores:
CR 600, M 610, W 620.
I realize these must come up significantly, and I’m taking the test again in 2 weeks. </p>

<p>Am I overshooting here? Thanks.</p>

<p>Improve the SAT score. Everything else looks decent. If you're a junior of time to make it better of course.</p>

<p>Thanks, Reddune. I always wanted to go to Harvard, but after the first SAT scores, I realized that probably wasn't in the cards. BC sounds like a great school, though.</p>

<p>you definitely have everything except the scores. in the case of a smaller school w/ less applicants, i'd feel that they'd overlook it. but BC is fairly large in terms of applicants, so it would be smart to bring them up.</p>

<p>other than that, it looks really good!</p>
