<p>White male, Catholic, from public, suburban high school in CT (bad reputation, not very good overall)
SAT I: 1990 (610 M, 710 V, 670 W)
SAT II: 630 US Hist., 610 Math II
GPA: 3.93 (7th in class-top 2.5% or so)
EC's: debate, literary (magazine), interact (rotary-student of the month for Oct. '05), baseball all 4 years
Hooks: none really, except both parents didn't attend college (not even sure if this is a hook)
Legacy: obviously not
Essay: I think it is good, and so did those who read it
Recs: one of my strongest aspects (one great one, one absolutely phenomenal one)
Notes: The Essay and Recs must've been good because I got into BC EA ahead of some kids with higher SATs and GPAs</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your honesty.</p>

<p>I'd say your chances are good, especially if you got into BC EA. They were extremely competitive this year. I was deferred, but got into ND. But yeah, I don't know if you can take the SAT over, but if you were in the 1400's I would say your chances are extremely positive.</p>

<p>The fact that you will be the first to go to college really helps. The SAT is a little weak, but not horribly so. Retake it if you have time. I think you have an awesome shot if you can break 1400. Even without a retake, you still have a good chance in my opinion. Good luck!</p>

<p>Alright, thanks for the tips and support.</p>

<p>I will really consider re-taking because I believe my Math can be increased.</p>
