<p>2 people in my school (one from class of 2010 and one from class of 2011) went to BC. They both have the same exact ECs as you (but instead of lacrosse, they had football/soccer) The SAT scores were about 100-200 points higher, but i think you make up for it in work experience (which they did not have). I think you have a good chance (1 was in the top 25, the other was the salutatorian).</p>

<p>got time? chance back! : <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1208822-chances-suny-bing-ru-pennstate-tcnj-umass-amherst.html#post13191692[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1208822-chances-suny-bing-ru-pennstate-tcnj-umass-amherst.html#post13191692&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>That SAT is at the 25th percentile for BC. Get it up, or take the ACT, and you have a decent shot- still questionable though.</p>

<p>Take the SAT again. My son raised his CR by 70 points, and his math by 40 points, with ZERO studying.</p>

<p>Yeah, I am taking it again in October. Is it better to apply RD or EA with weaker credentials?</p>
