<p>Dear JT872487 : Summary - Applying to CSOM with one semester of a 3.6 at SUNY/Albany, a semester of community college, an average High School student, and an 1100 two way SAT score.</p>
<p>Let’s start with the two ending phrases. Average students with 1100 SAT scores do not get into BC. (Keep mind that BC’s average SAT score for admission is 1350 for the two part as published on another thread on this board.)</p>
<p>The question is whether your collegiate experience would catapult you into the BC setting. The jump from SUNY/Albany to BC is substantial; from a community college to BC even larger. Circumstances aside, your SUNY/Albany GPA will not get much notice.</p>
<p>Apologies, but given your information, this does not appear to be a match along any axis of analysis.</p>
<p>While everything scottj said is about right, I would still give a shot. You never know. I applied to BC 99% sure I would be rejected (1220 SAT, 12% ranking in my high school) and I was accepted. You never know and you’ll always wonder if you don’t go for it. Give them a convincing reason to accept you in your essay. Convince them what you have to offer BC, and what experiences at your two previous institutions allowed you to determine that BC is a perfect fit for you.</p>
<p>BC considers more than just the numbers next to your name. Admission officers are always on the look out for special students who might not be fantastic students in high school, but when given the chance, really thrive when challenged. Apply and work your hardest, that’s all you can do right now. Good luck.</p>
