Basics:
Female from New York City. I go to one of those specialized high schools that you have to take a test to get in. It's ranked third out of eight schools in total. The school is very very very VERY small and very competitive. Less than 100 kids in my graduating class of 2010
It's a science school but I'm not planning on majoring in anything science related in college.

Stats:
GPA: low around 87.00%
SAT (first time): CR-690 M-710 W-710 (12 Essay)
SAT II:
Biology: 660 US History: 670

I'm applying RD.
So I realize that Boston College will be a reach for me. But I was wondering if applying to the school of education will help me in anyway. I want to know if its less competitive to get into or harder to get into.
I've made it very clear and made it obvious that I had a strong interest in education
