<p>Also:
First generation college student
Not applying for financial aid</p>

<p>Boston College is by far my first choice! Please let me know what you think about my chances!</p>

<p>i think you have a very good chance…my friend, a female asian from a competitive magnet school, was accepted and had lower SAT scores…</p>

<p>Thank you! I appreciate your opinion!</p>

<p>Honestly, just wait it out. You have either sent your application already for REA or missed the deadline. There is no use trying to figure out your chances at this point.</p>

<p>I have already sent it as of three weeks ago. I’m just wondering about my chances out of curiosity.</p>

<p>Anybody else? I’m just really anxious, lol</p>

<p>you’re totally fine</p>

<p>okay, thank you</p>

<p>Wow, if you don’t get in I’d be very surprised. The only thing that is a little low are the standardized tests, but they’re still good and your ECs are awesome! Good luck! I hope you get in!</p>
