<p>You are qualified, my friend.</p>

<p>Now, go write that great essay and get those great recommendations to seal the deal. And even then, there is a small chance you might not get in.</p>

<p>Dear collegebound41 : In terms of your GPA at 4.2, it is difficult to determine weighted status, unweighted status or the top value possible. At 2100 SAT three-way, you are certainly on target for the top quartile of the applicant pool. However, let’s go beyond the academics to the full application. To name just a few other areas for consideration of your application : [1] music/arts, [2] clubs/activities, [3] sports, [4] leadership positions, [5] volunteerism, [6] achievements/awards, [7] recognition, [8] essay topics, [9] recommendations.</p>

<p>Dear superstar12 : You are painting the wrong picture. At Top 15% of the student body, the candidate misses the Top 10% ranking sought by Boston College. A 3.7 unweighted average is among the average students in the majority of accepted students. Missing all of the activities that color a candidates background make the “definitely in” assessment more than just speculative. If you review the “Applicant Stats” link atop this page (new CC feature), you will find several candidates that have been rejected this year at Boston College with a similar profile.</p>

<p>Dear Scottj,</p>

<p>The OP clearly has a better than 50% chance of getting in. She has 3 750+ Sat II’s and above average SAT score. Her GPA is around the median at 3.7. I also looked at the rejected students and did not find one that was rejected with her similar academic profile. I do agree yes her activities will matter however it will be a long shot if he or she gets denied.</p>
