Dear jimbo24 : Let’s start with the statistical data elements.

[College Search - Boston College - BC - SAT®, AP®, CLEP®](College Search - BigFuture | College Board)

Boston College’s midpoint two-way SAT is about 1350. Your score just crosses into the third quartile of a potentially accepted student’s profile. Next, BC typically looks for Top 10% High School students as 80% of the admitted student body fits that profile. Top quartile accounts for 96% of Boston College’s class. At a Top 20% ranking, you fall into that additional 16% acceptance pool. So, based on the statistics, your numbers certainly are in the bottom half if not the bottom quartile of accepted students.

The remainder of your profile (lacking leadership positions, volunteerism details, music/arts, clubs, and such) is missing too many details to provide additional evidence that would highlight your application to an admissions officer.

Right now, based on the data presented, you chances of acceptance would have to be no better than 20% at this time. If you have more supporting data, please feel free to share that information.
