Really, really try to pull up GPA and SAT/ACT scores.
When choosing classes for next year, make sure to take some rigorous classes; BC will see what you’re taking next year and they will look to see if you’re taking the most rigorous classes you can. (Don’t overburden yourself, though, that may hurt your GPA in the long run so be careful.)
When writing common app and BC-specific essays, make sure to look them over and make sure they’re the best you can get them.
Also, if possible, see if you can either get a job or do something prominent this summer.
(All this work will pay off in the long run, but in the end, admissions is a coin toss, so if things end up not working out, it may just have been that when filling their class, they had too many people like you…who knows.)

I wish you the best of luck–maybe we’ll see each other at BC one day!
