<p>I understand that I dont have many activities but I do spend a lot of time in the ones I am in</p>

<p>Your extracurriculars look solid but your academics seem lacking.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about chances though sorry :(</p>

<p>With that kind of rigorous schedule I think you have a good chance at BC, the only thing that might detract from your application would be your standardized test scores, and if you’re applying REA or not. Have you decided if you’re sending ACT or SAT or both? What I did was really focus on ACT (I went from Math 28 to Math 35…it is possible! :slight_smile: ) and I’m not sending in my SATs at all because to be honest, schools really don’t need to see that. </p>

<p>On another note, have you visited BC? For me, it was a break instead of a make visit. The friend I visited there is actually pre-med too and she says it’s a lot of work (go figure)</p>

<p>In regards to the other schools, you should be into BU. Cornell is definitely a reach, along with WashU. NYU is really weird about who they accept so there’s no guarantee there.</p>

<p>thanks for the feedback guys…and I am applying regular decision to all schools except TCU and Baylor…and KU but that is a rolling admission…I am applying regular to BC because I hear EA is more competitive than RD…which is backed up by their website…anyways thanks!</p>

<p>Honors and Awards/GPA/ECs seem pretty solid. Only problems are not much leadership and major problem is standardized test scores. Raise your ACT to a 31 and you can get in at pretty much any of the schools on your list

<p>Right, responding to the call. Other than what has already been brought up regarding your standardized test scores, I think you stand a decent shot at all of the colleges on your list, excepting WUSTL and Cornell. I would definitely think about retaking either the SAT or ACT if you are serious about either.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks…BC is my number one and I know that washu and cornell are out of the question right now but I’m not really serious about them…more serious about bc nyu bu villanova…thanks though!</p>

<p>Barring weirdness, I honestly think you’re in to all of your schools. Cornell and WashU might be high-ish reaches, and BU is also a bit of a reach, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you got in to all of them.</p>
