• Weaknesses: Math, not enough community service maybe
• Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: not well rounded enough? math score? because people with the same SAT as me have gotten into the honors program. maybe not enough community service
• Where else were you accepted/deferred/rejected: accepted at honors program at Villanova
General Comments: Not my first choice or even close because it’s not a great fit, but I was surprised because I thought I was in to be honest, just based on scores grades etc, makes me wonder what’s wrong with my application because BC is not the most selective school I’m applying to. I guess it is somewhat of a game though. Congrats everyone!</p>
