Is It Worth My Applying?

What I did does NOT guarantee your admission. However, it dramatically improves your chances. After you apply to Boston College, contact the admission department and ask them that you want to talk to the admission counselor who is assigned to your application (it is done by where you live). Prepare some very in depth questions and ask your admission counselor for the answers. Also ask for her email address so you can contact her later. Then from that point on, contact the admission counselor once a week (minimum) till you receive a decision. It can be either questions, or recent accomplishments. Do not forgot to hint that BC is your first choice even if it isn’t. Make the emails professional. This way, the admission counselor will remember your name, so when she gets your application she knows you. At my school, a girl with higher SAT scores and class rank got wait listed and then accepted from Early Action. I was accepted in Early Action. She is also smarter than me. This really works. It might be tedious but it is worth it. I also got into UMICH doing this, however it was too much money and I couldn’t afford it. This method will NOT work in IVY’s as they just dont care since they have so many choices.
