<p>I think you definitely have a shot, just try to improve your ACT, maybe try the SAT? Otherwise, everything looks good!</p>

<p>yeah, if you could get the ACT to a 30 you would be real good. i wonder if you also have to take the TOEFL? even so, without the increase in the ACT you would still have a good chance. maybe give the SAT a shot?</p>

<p>I dont need to take the TOEFL, its only for international students...
but I already tried the SAT and I thought it was harder for me
I think I'm retaking the ACT in the fall...
thank you for the advice</p>

<p>I believe you're also a URM so that would help you tremendously. Your stats are very strong, but it seems like you're lacking community service. Try to bolster that since BC is a school that prides itself on community service.</p>

<p>ok...I'm gonna try to get some extra community service...
thanks</p>

<p>You have a good shot, but BC is definitely a reach school. If you are covered with safeties, then go for it. BC tends to favor males, and the geographics are on your side. They also like diversity so your background makes you a stronger candidate.</p>
