<p>Recommendations and essays were pretty good. What are my chances?</p>

<p>If admission was a grade, yours would be an A. Solid all around. Of course if you were an URM, it would be an A+. Some suggestion, if Classics is your thing, I recommend College of Holy Cross. They provide better aid for Classics students and their department is superior than BC's. Oh wait, it's like February, I'm not sure if Holy Cross still take application.</p>

<p>I'd be absolutely shocked if you didn't get in. Your stats are significantly better than mine (3.6 gpa, very few extracurriculars and no leadership roles) and I was able to get in early, so you really don't have to worry (As long as you didn't confess to being a serial-killer in your essays).</p>

<p>you have a very sold chance of getting in. everything looks good and high enough to be admitted, odds are you will be but noone can say anything for sure. i know that your gpa is MUCH better than mine and i got in ea, you have a great chance good luck</p>
