So if you’re 98/900 - you said top 10%. Is that a typo or is your math wrong.

While it’s a small difference and BC doesn’t list their % by rank, you can be assured with a 17% acceptance rate (and that includes the higher ED) and ACT scores where they are that a big chunk will be from the top 10% and based on your math you’re a bit outside. And they note rank as important.

While you’re from Texas which normally should help and I’m surprised at this, they give geography and state of residence as non-considered in CDS. But they do like first gen. Your AP scores are another thing that will work against you - because score wise - they are consistently not where they need to be. I’m not sure if they factor those in - but I can see where they can make an assessment from them.

You are very very impressive - so you have a good chance based on the average chance. But if the average chance is in the 8-15% range, that chance isn’t great to begin with.

You’re going to be a huge asset to many a school. BC is going to be tough - but keep the faith.
