Do I have a chance of getting into Boston College?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm currently a junior, BC is my dream school but I don't know if I have the grades to get in there.
I go to a very rigorous all girls prep school that sends a lot of it's students to BC.</p>

<p>My GPA: 2.8
SAT scores: 1760</p>

<p>I have also gone to many community service/precollege programs over the summer and I run cross country. My sister goes to BC, she went to the same high school as me but she was a very good student and athlete. I know my grades aren't very good but they would be equivalent to around a A- average at a public school. I have only taken one honors class so far but I doubled up on language freshman year and doubled up on math in sophomore year, so I have taken a lot of classes. I have connections at BC which could help me get in there.</p>

<p>Could I get some advice on what should I do from now until I apply? (That would help me get into BC)
or do I just have a 0% chance of getting in?</p>

<p>If you are a senior and have already applied for RD, then try writing your local admissions rep a nice email about how its your top choice with some bullet points updating her on this semester (sporting events, great grades, or anything big thats happened in your life academically)</p>
