Question: Boston College anyone?
I really really want to go to Boston college...do you think i have a good chance? Honestly.
I have an overall 93.5 average..which i think is a 3.5 GPA? I am a junior. I take AP Biology, Honors English, I skipped a year of math so now i'm in College Calculus. I am on the Forensics Team, editor of my school's newspaper, in the art club, secretary in student governtment for a year, stage crew at my former elementary school, Model UN, Tennis Team, I take dance classes at a local studio, internship at Liberty Tax, never had a job, Interact club, Drama club [did school productions], the morning show at my school, volunteered at a hospital for 3 months, Habitat for Humanity [went away for a week to build homes]. My scores on the PSAT were terrible..1540 overall. I'm planning to study by myself and take a couple of SAT prep classes. Thanksss:)
yea, i asked this question again since i ddint get much answers...
Answer: Okay, as a senior currently applying to college, I have some general advice before I even get to BC. First, familiarize yourself with your GPA. It is a VERY important number. On a 4.0 GPA scale you have a 3.75 GPA. This is excellent, especially considering the intensity of your classes. Taking AP Bio and Calc as a junior will definitely help you stand out. Secondly, learn to navigate collegeboard.com. They have LOADS of information on pretty much every board certified college and university in the US, including average GPA and SAT scores of accepted students. VERY useful.
Okay, so on to BC. With a GPA like yours and those difficult classes, your transcript should be a non-issue (assuming your recommendations are good). collegeboard doesn't have any stats on BC's GPA acceptance rates, so I checked my naviance account, which shows me those rates from my high school specifically. 3.5 is the average GPA of accepted applicants from my school, so you're set on that front. Your SAT score will need to improve, although the PSAT is not always a good indicator. Try to shoot for 2000 or higher to get into BC. Classes will help with this. However, I also noticed that there were a number of rejected applicants who had GPA/SATs that fit or even were above BC's standards. This suggest that they place a strong emphasis on non-transcript pieces of your application, like essays and interviews, so prepare well for those.
Good luck, hope I helped.
