<p>With a little under a month left … i’m bugging out</p>

<p>could you let me know what you think about my shot at getting in EA </p>

<p>SAT - 2080 M - 710 CR - 620 W - 750 </p>

<p>AP Gov - 5 AP US - 3</p>

<p>SAT2 M2 - 660 SAT2 US - 620 SAT2 Lit - 460 (huge pitfall)</p>

<p>GPA 3.8 / 4.33 top 10% of class</p>

<p>Varsity Baseball, Eagle Scout, Presidential Campaign Intern, Presidential Classroom, HOBY, Active Youth Group Member, Numerous Volunteering Campaigns … etc. </p>

<p>Claim to fame (what i tried to stress separated me from the field) - My extensive work in, and passion for, political science Tools used to note this - AP Gov and US teacher recs, Eagle Scout, AP Gov score, extensive experience as intern in this year’s election</p>

<p>I do not believe I have much of a shot, knowing the incredible characteristics of those who are accepted (we have four high school alums currently enrolled at BC) … but I would like to know your opinion.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>thank you </p>

<p>anyone else?? ..... please</p>

<p>50/50. You're like the typical BC applicant. Nothing really stands out but everything is good. Not sure if that makes sense. It's getting harder to get into BC. I wouldn't put you on the shortlist of people to accept but I definitely wouldn't rule you out altogether. You have a shot. Good luck!</p>

<p>Where are you from?</p>

6

<p>thnks</p>

<p>NE PA .... do you go to BC?</p>

7

<p>Yes, I'm in last semester.</p>

8

<p>What else ... does anyone else think I have any shot???</p>

9

<p>....... bump</p>

<p>Beyond the SAT score (out of 1600), which is respectable but below BC's average, and the SAT II scores, you have a pretty good shot. I don't think you'll be rejected, but I wouldn't be surprised to get deferred with those stats.</p>

<p>hmm ...... bump</p>
