So I plan on applying to BC and was wondering how my chances are looking.

Here’s my basic resume and some other facts:

IB Diploma Candidate

IB Economics SL- 6/7
IB Math Methods SL- 5/7

I’m also taking IB World Lit HL, IB Biology HL, and IB History of the Americas HL, and
IB French SL this year.

AP World History- 5
AP European History- 5 (on my own without a class)
AP English Literature- 4
AP United States History- 5

I’m also taking AP Stats, AP Calc, and I’ll probably take the AP French exam to get the AP International Diploma

PSAT (if it matters)

CR- 80
MATH- 68
WRIT- 59
Total: 207, 98th percentile

This got me National Merit Scholarship consideration, I don’t know if I’m a finalist yet.

SAT

CR- 700
MATH- 650
WRIT- 620
Total: 1970

I can do a lot better than this when I retake it, I was really tired when I took it. I got a 2150 on an at-home practice test- hopefully I’ll get that or better on my retake in 2.5 weeks.
I’ll be taking SAT 2’s in Lit, Math 2, and a history (not sure which) in November, I expect to do amazing at history.

GPA- I don’t know it yet, but I’ve gotten all A’s thru high school except one B+ in IB Math. I figure it’ll be around 3.94ish unweighted, much higher after weighting for AP’s and IB’s

No class rank at my school.
