<p>Well, I bet alot of you will agree with me. We can finally let out a sigh of relief because whether BC was a match, safety, or reach, at least we got into A college. However, the funs not over for me yet. I still have about 234098%#823498 more applics to write although I would be perfectly satifised with BC if my other schools should fail me.</p>

General Comments/Congratulations/etc: It feels so good to finally get into college. The best part of this is that I applied to BC before submitting my November and December SAT grades, which included a 2130 on the sat I and a 740 on the Math Level I satII. I was nervous I was going to get outright rejected and BC wouldnt be able to see my new much improved scores, but now I dont have to worry about that.
QUESTION: Does anyone know if I send my new SAT scores of 2130 (760 M, 670 V, 700 W), which is a 160-point improvement, and 740 on the level 1 math satII, and then be reconsidered for the honors program? Thanks</p>
