<p>i think your in pretty good shape.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

3

<p>i'd say you're in! good luck!</p>

<p>thanks for the replies, any more input?</p>

<p>Hmmm I would say you're in but you also need to consider how many other more qualified students in your school that are applying to BC as well. Your church involvement may help considering its a Catholic university, your lacrosse credentials are excellent and your SAT score is great.</p>

<p>I think you're in pretty much unless they are worried about your GPA, well whats your class rank like? Or does your school not rank because its magnet?</p>

<p>Anyway good luck!!!!</p>
