<p>Alright, so my top choice school is BC, and I’m well aware of how tough it is to get in.
I didn’t start off the first few years of highschool too well. However, my GPA has improved steadily each year. </p>
<p>Will they look at improvement as a big thing, or is it a small factor like extracurriculars?</p>
<p>At my school, an A+ in AP is a 5.3, in honors its a 4.8, and in regular itsa 4.3</p>
<p>With required GYM and other courses, generally the top 1% end up with 4.5’s.</p>
<p>Right now my cumulative GPA for frosh-junior yr is 3.7
Frosh= 3.45
Soph= 3.73 something
Junior= 3.92 something</p>
<p>My senior year schedule is</p>
<p>AP Economics
AP World History
AP Calculus AB
AP Biology
Honors Humanities
Wind Ensemble
Study</p>
<p>SAT=2040
V= 630, though im retaking and know i can get a much higher score
M= 640
W= 770 (10 essay)</p>
<p>SAT subject
Chemistry= 630
US history= 720</p>
<p>Extracurriculars</p>

<p>I’m really banking on my senior year grades and the hope that BC will like seeing the improvment. I think I can land a 4.2-4.3. I am applying RD</p>
<p>Do I have any shot at all at getting into my dream school?
Thanks</p>
