Definitely think it is a low match for you. I am also applying!

jackoneill, I don’t know where you got that “low match” impression from, but BC is clearly a reach for him especially with his low SAT and GPA.

Thanks for your input guys

I think you have a decent chance but don’t get too hopeful. Your SAT score is below average (1430). Also @HardOREasy he didn’t list his unweighted GPA. That is the weighted GPA.
If your GPA is at least a 3.7 you have a good chance. Make sure you write amazing essays.

Thanks for the help @penngirlpending I appreciate it. I think my essays really strong it’s about coming from a family of immigrants and how I want to work hard to make a better life in the American Dream.

Anyone else?

It’ll come down to your essay. If you emphasized the Jesuit Ideals of helping others and trying to make a positive impact on the world, I’m sure you’ll have a good shot.
