There hasn't really been too much from the 2013 EA applicant for BC...
So, who applied?

Also, it says decisions are out BY December 25, but I think it is usually released by mail at an earlier date. Does anyone know this year?

EA
GPA: 98.6% W 93ish UW
ACT: 34 comp
Rank: Only top 10% but my school is really competitive/sends tons to BC and other top-tier schools)
SAT II: Math IIC 750 Bio 780 Lit 700 (didn't send any to BC though)
AP Scores: APUSH 4 AP Bio 5 AP Lang/Comp 4
Current classes: AP Phys, Span 4, AP Calc BC, AP Euro Hist, AP Comp Gov, AP Lit, and a religion class
Essays: My Common App main one was my best.
Recs: I waived my right to see them, but I caught a glimpse when my counselor was sending over some forms and one of my teachers checked off "top 1%/one of the best I've encountered" box for like 4 or 5 things and top 5% for the rest so I imagine the actual rec was pretty great
ECs: Good, not great--ACTIVE in several clubs, Pres of one, School Paper, Lots of Theater, some service, no sports
State: IL

I'm not super worried about getting in. People think it's more difficult than it is. BC is quite competitive, but a significant number of people get in from my school with 30's and just "good" averages. While a lot of posters have excellent stats, those whose stats are slightly less impressive shouldn't freak out--as long as you have a decent (30+) ACT and ECs and have at least shown a strong effort on your transcript, you have a good shot.<--I hope that didn't sound like I'm bragging or that I don't think BC is an excellent school I just see a lot of people feeling inadequate/pessimistic about their chances. Good luck to everyone!

JR526, thank you. you're so reassuring. I got a 31 on my ACT and i've taken the hardest schedule i could have, but i'm REALLY really worried about getting in. I loveeee boston college and i really hope to go there.
