I’ve recently applied to a few colleges and I’m curious what my chances of getting in will be. Boston College is my top pick, then Fordham and Loyola.
White, lower middle class, female, Methodist, first generation
Small town public school
Applied for communications
Early Action to Fordham and Loyola, regular decision for BC
I have two relatively well written recommendations from teachers and one from my pastor’s wife.
I believe my common app essay was pretty good if I say so myself; however, I’m concerned my BC one was too bland.
