BC EA/Honors/Pres. Scholar?

I'm applying EA to BC. Do I have a chance at the honors program? What about possibly being selected as a presidential scholar? (I know...super-competitive...but maybe?)

GPA: 4.0 UW
APs: Will graduate with 11 (received all 5's on the five exams taken thus far)
SAT: 2290 (awaiting October results -- hopefully will surpass 2300)
ECs: Actively involved in 6 school-sponsored clubs, 1 local club, 1 varsity sport, and 1 out-of-school competitive sport. Captain and national award winner of varsity sport. President of 2 clubs. Founder of 1 club.
Community Service: 160+ hours; started youth-mentoring program
Awards: National Merit; AP Scholar with Distinction; NHS; 2 academic awards
Summer: All-expense paid leadership conference; paid medical internship; non-paid, invitation-only medical internship; tutoring

Looks like you might be getting enough AP credit to be able to graduate in just three years...

You have a shot at being invited to the Presidential Scholars weekend. Most of those kids are pretty amazing, but there are 60 invitations that go out, there is no reason that one of them can't go to you. Why don't you call that office and express further interest? It's all subjective so it can only help you if you make your interests well known. Good luck, and college is such an amazing experience (especially at BC) I wouldn't recommend that you rush through it in three years.
