<p>I’m not sure if this will help but my father is a member of the clergy and BC is technically a Catholic/Jesuit institution. Also, I feel that my extracurriculars are very community oriented so that might help?</p>
<p>Very low income <50,000
Essays: common application was a very unique essay
extracurricular essay is about volunteering at the hospital</p>
<p>Letters of Rec: pretty good. Not the best by any means.</p>
<p>APPLIED TO COLLEGE OF ARTSCI for economics</p>
<p>1st semester of senior year, I received a 4.1667 gpa but I got a C in AP Calculus AB.</p>
<p>It’s interesting to see that some schools only weigh the grades (our school only unweighs)… Anyways I think you have a stellar chance. Your scores are in the range, your GPA and courseload are good (don’t worry too much about that C).</p>
<p>And yes, BC is very serious about serving others, so it’s good that you seem to have a lot of volunteer activities and community involvements.</p>
<p>Just a note, it’s pretty easy to calculate UW GPA even if your school doesn’t use it (mine doesn’t and it took me about two seconds to figure out mine).</p>
<p>Anyway, I am very similar to you except different EC’s and white male instead of Korean male, so I’m hoping that both of us are on the right side of the fence.</p>
<p>I think my unweighted GPA is around a 3.5 but since our school doesn’t officially release them, I am not quite sure. But I have taken a fairly hard courseload.</p>
<p>Good luck to you man. I like you have a 3.5 UW and a 3.9 W (well actually 3.98 but who’s counting), and I definitely think our profiles are similar. Hopefully we’re both at BC next year!</p>
<p>Good luck to both of you guys as decisions come in the next couple of days! BC is my number one and my stats are very similar to both of yours so we’ll see how it goes. Hope to see you all at BC next year! Can’t wait for my decision.</p>
<p>Fellow Koreans, hello! It’s great to see Asian applicants here. I don’t know about BC, but when I visited Notre Dame during a football game, I felt like a tourist even though I’ve lived here forever :DD</p>
<p>Yoadee, your stats are very similar to my son’s who is also a Korean-American (in Oregon) though your EC looks a little better than his.<br>
GPA: 3.83 UW/4.03 W
SAT: 2000 SATII US history:760
7 or 8 AP classes
He also got a C in AP calc
He has been accepted at Brandeis, U of Richmond, U of Rochester, U of Washington, U of
Oregon and anxiously (at least I am) waiting to hear from BC.<br>
Good luck to you!</p>
