<p>SAT's arnt that high, Im assuming cuban is URM, so thats a plus. GPA is good, do you have rank? your EC's help show interest in your major, since your a good writer I assume you have strong essays. Did you do any volunteering? that helps. In my opinion, you stand a good chance.</p>

3

<p>sat's aren't that high??? Uh, zelda you are definitely in. Your scores, ecs, and gpa are all fine. suubie are you on crack lol?</p>

<p>Dude, her SATs are 2110 (more importantly though, 1360 M/V), which is well within BC's range. Also, she has very strong SAT II's (top 2-770, 720).</p>

<p>You should probably get in.</p>

5

<p>SAT's aren't that high????</p>

<p>Maybe for Georgetown---</p>

<p>Her sat's are VERY good for BC</p>

<p>I said she stands a good chance, Noone is 'in' to bc unless they recieve that big white package in the mail. Sorry if i was a bit ambigous but I was talking about the MATH score, its at the 25% but this year is quite competitive... And you guys are right, I think I was a bit too critical of her SAT's. But they are still below last years average, but by a little bit.</p>

7

<p>Middle 50% of First-Year Students
SAT Reasoning Verbal: 610 - 700
SAT Reasoning Math: 640 - 720</p>

<p>Her reading is well into the top 25% while her math is within the middle 50%. How is that below average?</p>

<p>xsuubiex,</p>

<p>if we are just looking at verbal/math then I do tend to agree with you. a 1360 could be a hair below the average for this years accepted kids. I consider my 1380 to be right in the meaty part of the curve</p>

9

<p>I only had a 1320 (without any hooks) and got in EA.</p>

10

<p>I don't see why not</p>

<p>EDIT: and being a minority is a big plus for BC :)</p>
