<p>I'm looking at schools like Boston College, Holy Cross, Trinity College, Colgate, and Tufts. What do my chances look like at these schools? I'm considering applying ED to Holy Cross. Thanks.</p>

<p>They look good. A lot depends on essays, and how well you project the fact that you really want to go to a certain college.</p>

<p>To me it looks as if you're a match at all those places you mentioned, though your ECs seem a little bit too filler. Still, I feel for the schools you listed you're a strong applicant.</p>

#3

<p>just out of curiosity -- what kind of philosophy class offered at a high school takes 4 years? that seems really unusual. Most schools might offer intro to philosophy and maybe logic -- but I haven't seen more than that.</p>

#4

<p>i forgot to mention...it's a catholic high school, and its a religion course, required all 4 years. i'm not sure why i decided to call it philosophy</p>

#5

<p>Good Chances at all Except Tufts, I think your essay and recomendation can increase your chances at Tufts. All other seems good matches for your profile.</p>
