<p>Dear thekristin1129 : Generally, my reviews can be pretty tough on these "chance me" threads, but your credentials appear to be on the right track for BC - academics, sports, activities, and volunteerism all seem to be there. If there are any knocks, your AP load is a little light compared to other top students and the competition within your own school will potentially hurt. Those two minor points aside, you would seem well positioned for an offer from BC. Let us know how it turns out! Good luck.</p>

<p>If scottj gives you an accept, that's pretty good. He's not kidding that he's the toughest chance-r we have. I do think you'll be accepted, you fit the BC profile well.</p>

<p>don't worry about the class ranking; BC (I called them) doesn't really place an emphasis on class rank, but rather on GPA. as long as your in the top 10%- and preferably top 5%- you're fine.</p>
