<p>Hello, I am not an expert on BC admissions, but I got in with same class rank, similar weighted GPA, similar ECs. I had a somewhat higher SAT score, but yours is still in their range, so I think you should have a pretty good chance. They are stingy with financial aid though. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the posts.</p>

<p>Anyone else please?</p>

4

<p>i think u def have a really good chance</p>

<p>You have an excellent chance. My son was accepted EA to CSOM with 1400 SAT, top 10%, 3.6GPA, IB program, good but not great ECs. My daughter is a BC junior,</p>

<p>Thanks so much, everyone.</p>

<p>It's truly fantastic when people are receptive and post responses!!!</p>

<p>Hmmm CVS clerk eh? Sorry no chance....</p>

<p>i don't understand... you're a junior in high school? how come you have all of those ranks for senior year?</p>

<p>The conferences are definite, and the officerships are basically in the bag, because I'm currently the only Junior Officer in the club.... it works like that every year</p>
