Chance Me / Match Me!
1

hi just wondering what you all think
I will be studying communication (broadcast journalism)
I want to know my realistic chances at getting into the schools above and then specifics on which school I should choose.
I love BC’s architecture and truly see myself as a fit there, I love that it is Catholic. Boston University’s lack of campus kind of scares me, Love UNC just doubt I’ll get in… Syracuse is my back up from these four schools. Just want opinions thanks :slight_smile:

Deferred by Boston College in the EA Round

Sat: 1820 , CR 610, M 620, 590 W
Gpa: 3.7 uw, 4.8w
7 aps through highschool
AP PSYCH 5, AP Lang 3
Those 7 aps include the 4 my senior year.
Currently taking AP LIT, AP US GOV, AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY, AP MACROECONOMICS

Sent in mid-year report with all As to every school.

I would have 5 math credits
4 English
4 science
4 social studies
2 foreign language

Lots of EC’s like :
Varsity Tennis team captain
Editor in chief of yearbook (been in yearbook since 9th grade)
NHS recording secretary
NSHSS Ambassador
Newspaper
Community service in athletics and church
Student government (9-12th grade)
SADD co president
Club soccer 2 years

Excellent common app essay and supplements were average to great depending on the school.

Teacher rec’s are amazing. Family member Rec is from a Coast Guard lieutenant and is very good as well.

I’m a Hispanic Male who is Roman Catholic from Miami, Florida.

Since I have applied I have sent in these supplemental materials to every school:

  • The Miami Herald Silver Knight Award Nominee for Journalism
    -Miami Children’s Hospital Outstanding Community Service Award
    -Journalism Excellence Award
    -Position as Student Advisor for a Student Rights project working directly with the Superintendent and his Chief of Communications of Miami Dade County (4th largest school district in the country, he was national superintendent of the year in 2014)

Also I had an interview for Northwestern and it went really well. Was an hour long and the woman and I had a great conversation about everything and at times we couldn’t stop laughing. I would say that I earned a very high report.

Chances for Boston College, Boston University, Northwestern?

All responses appreciated!

I just don’t think your SATs are good enough for these colleges, especially northwestern. You could possibly get into BC and BU with a decent GPA and a solid amount of AP’s, depending on how good your essays/recs really were.

You have amazing ECs and a great resume all around. your SAT scores are low, but I think the rest of your app should make up for this. I used to be interested in broadcast journalism as well. I would reccomend Northwestern personally :wink: It has a wonderful program

Boston College- Deferred. so you kind of are at the hands of fate now.
Boston University- match
Northwestern- low/mid reach

chance back? It would be appreciated
