Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston College

Hi! I know decisions come out basically tomorrow but I could use some help evaluating my chances so I can be realistic about the chances I have of getting denied. I just don’t want to get my hopes up, thank you!

SAT: 1390 (I recognize this isn’t traditionally low, but it is low in relation to what Bostons range is)

GPA: 3.95 (UW) 4.07 (W on 4.3 scale)

AP’s: Biology, Psychology, Art

Course load: all honors (except English) I go to a private/Catholic school so I don’t get many opportunities for electives/AP’s… I’m hoping colleges will recognize this

EC’s: Founder and Editor of School Newspaper (started it my sophomore year), Math Honors Society, National Honors Society, Writing Honors Society, President of Spanish Honors Society and Spanish club, Violin, Varsity diver (districts qualifier), Some service (nothing specific)

Essays: Personal is on how reading has helped me get through my mother’s illness when I was young (& how it continuously helps me) Supplementals are on how I started my school’s newspaper.

Your SAT is basically at the average for students enrolled in the class of 2022. The average for students enrolled in the class of 2022 is 1392. The middle 50 percentiles for enrolled students for 2022 is 1340-1480.

The average for Class of 2022 admitted students is 1448 (1453 for admitted EA 2022, if I recall correctly). (As is typical, the admitted numbers are higher than enrolled.)
