Legacy... also how much does ED help?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston College

<p>I’m a female from MA and 8 of my aunts and uncles as well as both my parents and two of my cousins went/go to BC. My dad donates a (small) amount of money each year and we go to a LOT of football games (my family is kind of obsessed with BC…) and there is a small scholarship set up in my grandfather’s name for pre-med students </p>

<p>how much will this help me?
i have a pretty good GPA so far (not great: 3.8 w) and high PSAT and SAT scores as well as a LOT of EC (i play cello at church, school musical, principal cello at school, principal in my town youth orchestra. and i started a club to raise money for schools in Uganda this year and have almost raised $1,000 so far)</p>

<p>also if i were to apply ED next year will that make a diff.?</p>

<p>BC doesn't have ED, just EA but anyway I think you'll be good if your SAT/ACT is over 2000/30.</p>

<p>sorry i meant EA (I've got all the college lingo jumbled in my head lol)</p>

<p>Aunts, uncles, and cousins don't count, but having both parents as BC alumni makes you a double legacy and that may give you a slight boost since it sounds like you're probably a match for the school in other areas.</p>
