<p>I think you posted this in the wrong section.</p>

<p>Yip…kind of!! This is where he was looking for physics, he is looking at EE in other schools. Thank you for the feed,</p>

<p>Dear 3unitsIlove : This profile is talking about a recorded SAT I score of 1810 and an ACT score of 28. The ACT score is bottom quartile and the SAT scores are largely below the bottom quartile. These SAT I scores need an addition 200-250 points just to reach the midpoint of the accepted class.</p>

<p>The profile is outside of the Top 10% of the current High School class - and approximately 85% of Boston College accepted students are within their top decile. </p>

<p>The AP Curriculum listed looks thin : double science, single history, no calculus/statistics, no English AP, no language AP, no “soft AP” courses.</p>

<p>The statistical elements need an entire “rethink” against the Boston College statistical profile. This profile as it currently stands is far beyond long shot status if we are going to speak open and honestly.</p>
