I am currently an upcoming High school senior planning what colleges I am going to apply to and I would love to be able to go to BC. But I am wondering how realistic it would be with my stats.
Academics - Unweighted 3.2 went from a 2.8 freshmen year to a 3.82 in my junior year.
ACT 31 composite score
New SAT 1390 will likely get 1450 to a 1550 based on practice tests
Sat subject test History 770
extracurricular
3 sport athlete in track wrestling and football
have gotten honors in both wrestling and track
demographics
I am a middle class white student from Massachusetts not sure if this would help or hurt my chances
My dad is also an alumni
Dear 99Classof2020 : It is always worth applying if you have the passion to attend.
If you are asking about your acceptances chances, note that there are so many more elements that go into a profile than just your numbers. For example, can you explain “Why BC?” other than you would love to attend? In other words, why do you make the Freshman Class of 2021 a better experience for everyone? What do you add to the campus fabric? What does BC provide to you that allows you to expand and explore your passions?
You know that your GPA is very weak - particularly given the competition from Massachusetts for acceptance. All you can do is take the strongest courses that you can and perform as strongly as possible.
