<p>At BC, the EA round is more selective than the RD round, so you have a better chance going RD. As for CSOM or A&S, what is it you want to major in at BC? If you think you’re interested in business/management, you should apply to CSOM as it is very, very difficult (although not impossible) to do an internal transfer from A&S into CSOM later on. It is fairly easy to transfer from CSOM into A&S though.</p>

<p>I would call BC a reach for you, but not necessarily a high reach as you seem to have done well with a rigorous course schedule with lots of APs. Do you plan to retake the SAT Reasoning test? If you could get that CR score closer to 700, that would really help. And be sure to spend enough time polishing your essay to help make your application stand out.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I applied ED not knowing if I have made a wise choice. I was accepted and only applied to a few other schools upon being accepted. Here are my stats:
SAT 2110
ACT 32
SAT II Bio 730, MATH 730
AP Bio 5, AP Eng 4 AP Cal AB 5. This year AP Chem, AP Lit. AP Stats, and AP Physics. Results will come in July. </p>

<p>Just to let you know. I was accepted at Colgate, Holy Cross, and Lafayette. I was not admitted into the Pre Health at HC. I am now a BC eagle ready to soar.</p>

<p>Apply ED and try and get that GPA up senior year. And maybe go for a higher SAT score if possible</p>

<p>i was also wondering if i should apply ea or rd… i wanted to apply ea until i got my sat II scores back. i was planning on only taking the sat I again in october but now i think im going to take the sat II again in november. can i apply ea, and if defered send in additional scores from the november testing? or should i just wait for rd? im also thinking about taking the act in the fall. thanks for your help!!</p>

<p>SAT: M 700 CR 680 W 580
SATII: math 2- 680 chem- 630
APs: will be taking 5 by the time i graduate, the rest honors
GPA: A- average, top 8-9% of class
ECs: 3 sport varsity athlete (will be captain in 2), NHS, student council, good amount of volunteer service, full time summer job</p>

<p>I applied and was accepted EA because BC was my number one. I made it clear on my application. (school of nursing)
Stats: 99.8% GPA (top 10% of my class), 31 ACT, community service, president of Italian Club, NHS, Italian NHS, awards in Italian and highest honor rolls, flute.
I strongly feel that my essay played a big part in my acceptance.</p>

<p>foxy, what’d you write your essay on? We have similar stats and extracurriculars, except mine is French :stuck_out_tongue:
I wrote my essay about my passion for French though and I think that also played a big part!</p>

<p>aml: I would apply RD, take the SAT in October, SAT II’s in November, and then if you need to, take one of them again in December. Just make sure your grades don’t fall the first semester!</p>

<p>My essay was about my service which led me to discover my passion for nursing, tied in with the story of my knee injury, which gave me medical insight as the patient instead of the caretaker.</p>
