<p>is your 4.0 weighted? i cant think of any school where a 4.0 unweighted gets you a ranking of 37</p>

<p>No, it is unweighted. My weighted average is over 101.5 My school has over 2,500 students...we have a weird way of weighting and leveling.</p>

<p>your sats are a bit low, but ECs and awards look great.did you apply to carroll? you have a good chance</p>

<p>i got in EA with SATs 2020 into carroll..</p>

<p>To be honest, you'll have a tough time getting into BC, but not impossible. Demographics may help or harm your chances. Seeing as how you are a white male, you fit the mold of a "typical BC student" which in this case will probably harm your chances.</p>

<p>i think you're lacking a difficult courseload man. You got the EC's, but your SATs and courseload might be lacking.</p>
