<p>what are my chances of getting into boston college through RD?</p>
<p>i go to a very small school with only 100 people in my grade and a limited amount of AP classes. i have a weighted GPA of 91.48 and my best cross sectional SAT score is a 2130, 710 math, 700 reading, and 720 writing.</p>
<p>At the time only juniors and seniors took AP classes, i took AP US in my junior year and Calc BC, AP lit and AP environmental in my senior year. all my classes are honors, </p>
<p>i have consistently been participating in chorus, and in school concerts.
I have also pursued my passion for art by taking art elective classes four years straight.
i’ve been involved in key club for a year,
christian club for two years,
and news makers for one, i was the art director of my news makers club.</p>
<p>i’ve done volunteering at a doctor’s office and a daycare.</p>
<p>i’m also in Arista, the national honors society in my school.</p>
<p>i wanted to do EA but i called boston college and one of the admission counselors told me my chances would be better in RD since i have the most rigorous curriculum in my senior year. and also, would it increase my chances if i made improvements on my grades in my senior year, or would it just not matter too much? thanks :)</p>
<p>CSOM is tougher to get into then CAS since there are only about 1000 students as opposed to around 6000 students. RD is tough with an acceptance rate of about 25%, and personally i would have recommended that you applied EA, seeing as about 33% are accepted. If you havent submitted the application already, i would recommend applying to the CAS since there are more acceptances, then transferring schools if you are accepted and enroll in BC. But, make sure you contact BC on the difficulty of transferring colleges within the university. But if BC is not your first choice, then just apply and see what happens! good luck!!</p>
<p>I would have to disagree with eemmzz10. I go to BC right now and I’ve been told by many that transferring between schools is extremely difficult, some years even impossible. I know for CSOM and CSON they only accept the number of students into the college for transfer as those that have left so I think it is usually less than 10 people a year and that is including people who transfer from other colleges or universities as well. For business and nursing they try to keep the class size fairly consistent and usually the same as it started with as freshman.</p>
<p>I think your best bet is to apply to CSOM regular decision and hope for the best. Definitely keep your grades up and make your passion for art very clear! In my opinion, BC definitely looks for passion, intellectual curiosity, and service more than anything else.</p>
<p>I would agree with ready DO NOT apply and expect to switch schools; it is extremely hard. You have to maintain great grades and you still might not be accepted as an inner-transfer.</p>
<p>do i have it backwards then? is it easier to transfer into A&S then out of A&S? i remember hearing in an eagle eye session that either scenario was possible/attainable</p>
<p>I don’t think there are many problems transferring into A&S since that’s the largest school but I’m almost 100% sure that transferring into any of the 3 smaller schools is nearly impossible.</p>
<p>i am also applying to CSOM and i was wondering what my chances are.</p>
<p>ACT-29, superscored-30
GPA-3.6
4 years of varisty tennis, president of 4 clubs, good recs, good essay, no idea what my class rank is, but small private school, i got a recc from a guy on the board who is very involved at BC and was an alum of the honors program at CSOM, 200+ hours of community service, worked for 4 years every summer with my dad-3 times a week for 10 hours, took 5 aps (most anyone can take is around 8), started my own workout club,</p>
<p>It depends on which classes you’re taking. My Bio lecture was 230 kids, my Calc I class was 70, my other classes ranged between 25-45. It really depends on the class type. If you have to take First Year Writing then it’s no more than like 15 kids I believe. </p>
<p>And you can apply to CSOM after undergrad like any other business school.</p>
