What are my chances of getting into Boston College?

[KristoPapa33]

Hello, I am currently enrolled at quinsigamond community college and will be transferring next fall,Boston College is my top choice and I was wondering what my chances are of getting in.
I have 3.46 Gpa and have had straight A’s my last two semesters
I am tri lingual
I have some extra curriculars
In my college career i received two C’s and one D but they are all in math and my major is political science (which has nothing to do with math)
My college grades were awful…I had 2.1 gpa and did not even attempt the SAT’s
I have strong writing skills so the essay should be a breeze and I have a recommendation from one of the most well respected professors in my school.
Please give some insight as to what my chances are! Thank you! p.s dont be afraid to be brutally honest.

The transfer admission process at Boston College is highly selective. A minimum college GPA of a 3.0 is required to submit a transfer application. Increased competition in recent cycles has resulted in a mean grade point average of 3.6 among admitted students. Students most successful in our process also have strong high school records and standardized test scores.

The quality of your academic achievement is one of the most important measures of your preparedness for Boston College; special consideration is given to the balance and difficulty of the program you have carried.

In addition to the official high school transcript (sent directly from the high school) or Certificate of GED, official transcripts of all courses taken in all semesters at other colleges or universities must be submitted.

Applicants are required to submit official copies of either the SAT or the ACT. Applicants may not waive this requirement on the basis of completed college coursework. However, if more than 5 years have passed since an applicant’s graduation from high school, the standardized testing requirement can be waived.

Average test scores for BC’s Class of 2021 are SAT 1369 and ACT 32.

im applying to the woods college which does not require SAT scores… having said that my highschool transcript is still required. Do you think this will hurt my chances?

I’m sorry; I don’t know anything about the Woods College of Advancing Studies.

There are a few older discussions about Woods.

Apparently, it is a school for nontraditional students. No undergraduate housing is provided.

Good luck!

As a transfer, I know that the numbers of the average accepted student are low- especially with a well below average hs gpa. Also transferring is becoming more competitive; last year only had like 70 spots spread across two years. I had just under a 3.8 and was waitlisted, so you would be at a mid to high reach. I would recommend applying to other schools that are more friendly towards transfers in terms of acceptance rates.
