<p>Dear GregK222 : I am concerned about the writing elements from both your ACT (8) and SAT (620) exams. These scores are bottom quartile scores and given the strong liberal arts core at Boston College, either exam could flag you as a candidate that might struggle with the writing requirements. I am not sure that a ACT Math (29) aligns with an SAT Math (680) - the comparison seems slightly off to me. Having seen this profile, I would have strongly urged one more sitting for the SAT exam, but that might not be in the cards for you at this point. To be honest, it is unclear which exam is actually your stronger performance.</p>
<p>Our next concern is your unweighted GPA at 3.58. This score seems as if it would be outside of the Top 10% of your High School class. That said, your AP course load appears to be heavy. Note again the “3” on the English AP exam again underscoring the writing issues - AP scores are not used as admission criteria on their own, but this does underscore our previous comments.</p>
<p>Your extra curriculars are very thin; sports engagements (even one season) are missing, however music/arts are present through the theater aspect - how often was this activity? One per year, once overall ? Your leadership profile is lacking according to what has been writing here - define precisely areas that you have led in your High School or related activities for positive change at the school or for your community.</p>
<p>Finally, a discussion on the essays would be required, but there is little context here to offer guidance aside from our standard suggestion : how did you answer the “Why BC?” question? Exactly how did you position yourself as making the upcoming freshman class better for those around you and for the University itself?</p>
<p>At this point, Boston College appears to be a moderate stretch school and you should have some other “softer” options which better directly match these statistics at the ready.</p>
<p>As for the extracurriculars, even though they are thin, at least for stage crew I have spent a lot of time on it. For each show I spent roughly 3 months building the sets for the play, and sometimes I would come in during the weekend to build sets as well. I also helped backstage during the show and helped for the rehearsals of the play. Through this I would stay in school until 10 at night (sometimes even longer) for a week. Also there are 2 shows per year.</p>
<p>Also, does being a camp counselor count as any type of leadership? Although it was not within my school, I took an active part in my community (the summer camp was within my neighborhood and community) and encouraged the kids to have an active lifestyle by having them take part in various outdoor activities.</p>
