Your scores will be competitive, but there are no guarantees. Your SAT is just about BC's average, which will likely go up each year as the school becomes more competitive. You may want to try to eek it up a bit, but you're still pretty young and have time to improve. Twenty hours of community service a year is nice, but it breaks down to less than two hours a month--that will not be very impressive to admissions counselors. You may also want to add one or two more extra-curriculars--don't flood your schedule with meaningless clubs you don't really want to be a member of--just expand your horizons and find something else you love. If you're really good enough to play golf at the college level, that may give you a real boost in admissions. For the record, BC is a Catholic college. Specifically, BC is a Jesuit school--a specific type of Catholic teaching. BC is also inclusive--there may be more Catholics at BC than any other religion, but they will accept anyone. Good luck!
