Chances for Boston College?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>I have a 33 ACT but my class rank is kinda low… I’m about top 15%, however I have a decent GPA (97.8 or 98 ish). My school is really competitive… 98% go to 4-year colleges.</p>

<p>Also made All-state in band last year, very active in band. Will be a marching officer next year. Treasurer of student council, vice president of SADD. I’ve been pressuring my principal to let me create a Young Democrats club for a year and it might happen next year (I live in Texas so he is extremely conservative and wary of any student political clubs).</p>

<p>Assuming my essay is good and my teachers give me fairly glowing recommendations (my APUSH teacher has repeatedly told me I am one of the best students she has ever had) what are my chances of getting into Boston College?</p>

<p>Edit: A little more information -</p>

<p>My transcript will show a pretty huge upwards trend in my grades. Sophomore year my dad was arrested for drug possession and sent to prison for 6 months. During that year my grades really suffered a lot. However, this year (my junior year), I’ve gotten all A’s in all of my classes, and I have a challenging course load:</p>

<p>Band A+/A+
Spanish III Honors A-/A-
AP US History A+/A+
Precal Honors A+/A
Physics Honors A/A+
AP Chemistry A-/A
AP English A+/A</p>

BC will love this, though Band does not count as a challenging course load lol. You have a great shot at BC because it’s much less competitive than the Ivies.</p>

<p>Yeah I know it doesn’t really count as challenging, I was just posting my schedule and grades for this year. Thanks for both of your opinions.</p>
