Chance a kid from illinois, RD

<p>hey guys. so i’m not too familiar with BC, but what makes a successful applicant there? i know good grades/ test scores, etc, but is there something in particular they like in applicants? level of applicants interest? etc? anything like that? </p>

<p>also i’m wondering if they will accept the January 23rd SAT for RD? I have already submitted the ACT to them from a past test, but I’m just wondering if the Jan 23rd SAT will make it in time, too. </p>

<p>My stats are:
-middle eastern from elite public h.s. in illinois
-quest bridge finalist (BC doesn’t use QB, however)
-major: history
-religion: christian orthodox</p>

<p>ACT: 31, (do they superscore?)
SAT 2: will take US Hist and Math2C
AP Scores: 4,4,5 in US, Euro, and Env Sci (most demanding course load)</p>

<p>unweighted gpa: 3.70. (school does not rank, but i won a state award for being in the top 10% of class)
weighted gpa: 4.55
this year i’m taking 5 AP courses. I will have taken 8 by graduation.
extracurriculars: they’re good, i have a history internship and several leadership and sports awards
others: i’ve taken college courses at top-tier schools and have gotten A’s in them
essays: really good! my common app EC short answer talks about my religious commitment.
recs: decent, but i didn’t see them, but they are from teachers who have known me for a while. </p>

<p>thanks everyone for your help.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot of being admitted. Good grades, test scores, course load is demanding, ECs show your passion for history.</p>

<p>Have you done any service? BC particularly likes community service from their applicants.</p>

<p>Because Jan. 1 is the deadline, I’m not sure if BC will accept the January 23 SAT. Test scores usually have to be submitted by the deadline in order for them to be considered.</p>
