<p>okay, the fact that you are from MA is a disadvantage because of the sheer number of kids who apply from there. Your SATs could be higher, but your ECs look good. I think it's kind of a toss-up at this point.</p>

<p>I think you stand a solid chance. Wouldn't be surprised if you get in, wouldn't be shocked if you get waitlisted or rejected.</p>

<p>It would help to find or develop some leadership role, or find a way to demonstrate leadership. For example, making the varsity track team means you keep yourself busy which is good, but being a captain demonstrates leadership, which is much better in BC's eyes.</p>

<p>GPA is a little low. BC is looking for mostly A/A- students. Also, getting into CSOM is pretty difficult. You definitely have a shot.</p>
