<p>I just met with one of the admissions directors from BC, and he seemed confident that I would be a strong candidate for ea (though he did not know any of my stats). I have a 2030 SAT (and am hoping to raise it on Saturday) and a 4.3 weighted GPA (again, 1st quarter grades will be better) with excellent ec’s and a strong passion for my intended major. </p>
<p>Do you think I can compete with the more selective applicant pool or should I wait until regular decision?</p>
<p>Only one thing to consider: will your app be stronger in January? If not, go EA.</p>
<p>And by “stronger”, I mean: 1) gpa; 2) test scores; 3)recs; 4) honors/awards; 5) EC’s.</p>
<p>Dear minikc123 : You have offered two hard data points, a reference to a conversation with someone at BC who will likely not review your application, and a reference that everything else is strong. That collection of data is a little thin in the grand scheme of things. If you trust the opinion of the admission’s director and shared more information with him/her than you have posted here, follow the director’s instructions. What other possible view could we offer?</p>
<p>thanks scottj, the admissions director didnt really know me he was just going off of the reputation of my school</p>
