OP. You have listed some really great schools. If you think BC is a safety or match that’s a big gamble on your part. The other posters and recent student give you a better picture. You’re a quality candidate anywhere but BC though very selective in the past has become most selective. 27 acceptance and self selecting because of zero merit outside of 15 gabelli Scholars each year. It keeps some kids away from the application process. But this year 32k apps. 2200 seats. Huge waitlist and only 15 used last year. And rea fills a lot of seats. You won’t be a recruited athlete and your hooks aren’t super helpful at some of NE schools. But can help build a good picture of your discipline and ability to handle the work. Grades and scores and writing will make it or break it for you.
You can certainly get in any of these schools ibut as @ChLoos stated the current intensity at BC now. Tempered expectations would be my watch word.
