<p>Dear Cogliani1 : You have a 3.47 unweighted, well below the general acceptance level and hope to hit a 2000/30 combination which is the midpoint at Boston College at best? So, you have presented a profile that is “average”. Exactly how have you differentiated yourself from the 20,000 other regular decision applications competing for a spot?</p>

3

<p>You’re probably going to be rejected from Notre Dame. Your GPA and rigor is definitely pretty low, but if your test scores do end up what you’re aiming for, you have a fair shot at BC.</p>

4

<p>Notre Dame, Villanova, and BC would be nos in my honest opinion</p>

<p>USD and Miami are feasible stretches</p>

<p>Colorado is very likely</p>

5

<p>Notre Dame, Villanova & BC - No
Miami - Maybe (In the last five years Miami has become increasingly competitive)
USD - Probably
UColorado - Yes</p>

<p>Come back when you have actually test scores, though as scottj points out, your UW GPA is a killer for most of your schools.</p>
