My high school grades are down the drain

<p>Guys, Boston College is my first choice school and I’m afraid that I am not a very competitive applicant to get accepted into the school. My overall average dropped by 1 point from an 85.38 to an 84.87 (3.0 to 2.9 GPA). I did not have honors or APs. I may be graduating with an 86 (3.1 GPA) in June. This year, my senior schedule looks really good with an honor, AP and others though.</p>

<p>I just want to know that I’m a senior right now, and would anyone recommend me do anything at this point so when I get denied to BC as a freshmen, I can successfully transfer in sophomore year with a mediocre GPA from high school. (Please, any helpful advices needed).</p>

<p>The only reason why my avg. was lowered was because I had to go to summer school to take a course to refresh my memory on the topics in order to retake my regents once again in August and pass it.</p>

<p>People, I’ll provide my application statistics later in the next few months though.</p>

<p>Transferring into ANY selective college requires high college grades. Period. A college like BC, which values service to humanity, also looks at ECs carefully. High subject test scores could help in the absence of AP scores.</p>
