3

<p>Ok thanks for the reply</p>

4

<p>anybody else?</p>

5

<p>bump…will chance back!</p>

<p>You should definitely get into BC. You have good ACT scores and a rigorous schedule. You should also get into Georgetown, but it will be a little harder. </p>

<p>BC = low match to match
GTOWN = match to high match</p>

7

<p>thanks so much :)</p>

8

<p>bump…</p>

9

<p>i think you have a pretty good chance to get into BC… but i’m not sure about Georgetown. Georgetown might be a high match</p>

<p>Chance me too please!</p>

10

<p>Boston College: Low Match
Georgetown: High Match
Good Luck!</p>

11

<p>thanks guys…do you know if EA is easier/harder to get accepted? or does it not matter. because I heard that EA accepted kids were usually the shoe ins. Is that true or are they more lenient with EA?</p>

12

<p>bump 10 char</p>

13

<p>bump…anyone? I’ll chance back</p>

14

<p>Georgetown seems to admit a lower percentage of students in EA in relation to how many they admit during RA</p>

15

<p>yeah :confused: do you think I have a chance at EA though?</p>

16

<p>bump 10 char…</p>

17

<p>i just visited upenn the other day…wow! does anyone think i have a chance there? i know it’s much harder but chance me?</p>

18

<p>Ok so BC has been upping their game recently, at least in terms of EA. So BC would be a match/high match and Georgetown would be a reach. At least EA. If you’re deferred, you might have a relatively better chance RD. UPenn is probably the same as Gtown.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

19

<p>thanks :slight_smile: yeah im still aiming for gtown, the school of business if that helps. oh and i retook the act and scored a 33 if that helps too. if anyone else could post here that’d be great</p>

<p>BC (CAS): Low Match
BC (Carroll): Match
Georgetown (CAS): High Match
Georgetown (McDonough): Low Reach
U Penn (CAS): Reach
U Penn (Wharton): Reach</p>

<p>I’m in a very similar situation to you by the way… I had a 3.42 GPA freshman year, but I have a 3.78 so far this year and expect similar for next year, and I also go to a competitive private school… Good luck.</p>
