<p>i loooove bc. the campus, the people, the area, and esp. the apparel! i wear my bc sweatshirt & sweatpants religiously. but only problem - getting in. haha. can anyone tell me my chances please? </p>
<p>SAT I: 2260 (800 CR, 660 M, 800 W)
SAT IIs: 800 Lit, 680 IC, 650 U.S. Hist, 470 Bio-E (big sigh… had my reasons but still despicable)
GPA: sucks a lot. i think 3.67 weighted… dont know what it is unweighted but probably pretty low. i’m not top 10% of my class i know that. math grades murder me
-pretty rigorous curriculum: 7 APs by end of senior yr</p>
<p>EC’s:
NHS, French Honor Society (Treasurer), Tri-M Music Honor Society (Corresponding Secretary), Honors Orchestra (Secretary), President of church youth group, Varsity bowling, school newspaper Features Editor, Bible Club, Pit Orchestra, and other musically-affiliated stuff </p>
<p>don’t really have awards… national merit scholar semi-finalist? haha idk if that counts… some music & writing awards, nothing too spectacular</p>
<p>essay is pretty good, and recs should be fairly good as well. (does bc accept extra/supplemental essays btw?)</p>
<p>i also work as an assistant teacher at two afterschool teaching centers </p>
<p>other:
Asian female
prospective major: english lit or comm&journalism </p>
<p>you can be brutally honest i won’t get offended i swear. thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>Judging by the people who got accepted EA: You have great SAT scores, lots of ECs, and you're a URM. I think you have a good shot, since people like you got in EA and that's harder than RD. </p>
<p>Only downside is your rank, but I'm not sure if that would affect you so much. Good luck!</p>
<p>lol you picked kinda a bad time to ask because everyones gonna be bitter/overjoyed from their acceptances/defferrals, but as one of the few people who hasnt yet received my decision (I live in an unincorporated town so mail is really really slow...we dont even get it to our houses and its a mess) hopefully ill get it in the next few days...I'd say you have a good shot...you're definetly eligable...but it all comes down to whether they pick you...as this round of EAs has shown us more than ever it really does come down to alot of subjective factors. No one can really count themselves in....but I'd say you're far from counting yourself out. Your SATs are really good and your GPA is reasonable. Don't let anyone discourage you too much...you should have a pretty good shot for sure.</p>
<p>i qualify as a URM?! COOL. haha, i didn't think asians were URMs anywhere anymore. but thank you to both of you =) and sorry if this thread came at a bad time.. had no idea bc decisions were still coming out. i just got rejected last week from my early school if it makes anyone feel better haha. it was ED and i was planning on EAing to bc too but i realized like a few weeks before the deadline that you couldnt EA at BC if you ED'd somewhere :( best of luck to everyone else too.. hope you'll be hearing good news soon serrapadre!</p>
<p>i'm in the exact same boat as you. i even have close to the same gpa and sat score, lol. i'm even an asian female (i highly doubt this is URM though, lol. more like ORM - overrepresented minority). AND i couldn't EA at BC, arrrrgh because my stupid sat scores came out too late and then i was too stressed out at the end of october... but i think the RD round is LESS selective than the EA round so maybe it was for the best? GOOD LUCK i don't know how we'll fare in the RD round but maybe we'll see each other at BC next year! :) :)</p>
<p>hahahha i wish that comment actually applied to me. i have got to be THE laziest person ever - which you can probably note from my GPA. i am procrastinator to the maxxxxx.. i'm actually procrastinating right now. should be studying/finishing hw but i'm perusing through cc instead :D and precocious, yeah we'll hopefully have better luck in the RD round! and not be swarmed by other ORMs haha</p>
<p>hey, well, if it makes you feel better, i want to let you know that im barely in the top 20% of my class. actually, since a couple kids got "asked to leave" over the summer, I probably don't even make that cut...
and i got in.</p>
<p>Although my school doesn't give GPA, mine was about the same as yours. (im a HORRIBLE procrastinator too... uh, english paper due 8:15 and still 4 paragraphs to go?) you def. have a shot!</p>
<p>yeah, i think you definetly have a good shot at it. i alos am the biggest procrastinator and slacker ever. i just got in ea, which is harder than regular, with a GPA within hundreths of a point of yours. your high sats and good ecs will help becasue i think thats what put you over the edge. unlike at other schools, asians arent a orm so while it wont hurt you, i dont think itll help you either. i am also hispanic, so that probably helped me also because (i think) are considered to be urms pretty much everywhere. good luck!</p>
<p>yay, thanks to everyone for their words of encouragement :) yeah i'm not counting on my asian status to be a URM, but nor is it apparently ORM so it's alllll gooood. ohhh man i am still procrastinating - waking up early to finish hw sucks. hope you finished your paper purplerin! </p>
<p>oh btw, does it matter how many ppl apply to BC from one particular school? because i know at least 10-15 other people are going to apply to BC from my school and i don't want to be ousted from the competition =(</p>
<p>i also happen to think that how many people doesnt make much of a difference either. 6 people in my school applied, 4 got in and the other two got deffered. so they let in a good number of the people who applied from my school. and i honestly thought they both of the two who got deffered would get in over me. i take that to mean that they didnt compare us becasue we were from the same school, but looked at us as individuals</p>
i wear my bc sweatshirt & sweatpants religiously. but only problem - getting in. haha. can anyone tell me my chances please? </p>
