Your profile has tremendous breadth when it comes to activities, but can you pull out the elements which form your absolute passion? Better yet, can you identify an overarching passion and show how your clubs allow you to explore your passion’s envelope?

Yes. Math and business as a scholastic passion. Music as a hobby.</p>

Dear cneogy : One interesting point that emerged on your academic profile is the lack of an English AP program. Remember that the Boston College core is highly liberal arts focused with an emphasis on reading/writing skills.

I admit this. Honestly, I took honors english all 3 years from Freshman to Junior, and I constantly was getting beaten up by it (averaged a C+, B, and B from grd 9 to 11 respectively). To put it simply, english is not my forte. I’m strong in grammar, but being able to argue a point coherently and put together a cohesive essay is one of my biggest challenges; I just am unable to accomplish this, unless I am given lots of time to revise (which is why i started on my college essays in the summer). Anyway, I took English AP this year because the rest of my schedule is very work heavy and difficult and I was not sure whether I would be able to manage all of them at once.</p>

Were you able to specifically identify your greatest passion and tie that to the Jesuit tradition for Boston College?

In my essays? No is the clearest answer. I think the only things my essay did speak on about me were my personality and characteristics</p>
