I am applying to part time programs at Boston University and Boston College very late in R3. I wanted some feedback on how strong of a candidate I am...
Age: 25
3 years of solid work experience
3.1 GPA at a top 30 Liberal Arts college, but with a humanities major and very little quantitative coursework.
Varsity athlete and captain of my team
640 GMAT - 41 Quant. 35 Verbal. (haven't gotten AWA scores back, but I'm sure I got at least 5's on them)
Strong letters of Rec. and solid essays
If this was an earlier round then I'd say I have a good shot at both, but because this is round 3 I wasn't sure what my chances are. Anyone with any insight into the difficulty of round 3 admissions?
Thanks

What do you do at work? Is your job quant-related?
Either way, I think you'll have a shot at both schools, even for round 3. Seeing how you're more or less a non-traditional applicant, you might just be the person the schools are looking for. Obviously, BU is going to be a bit harder to get in the Boston College, but if you're aiming for this year, go for it. If anything, you're young and you still have time next year to reapply to those and some other colleges.

Thanks for the advice. I am planning to apply, but have thought about waiting for next year only for the benefit of potentially looser admissions requirements.
When you say I'm not a traditional applicant are you just refering to my extra curriculars? Other than that, I would consider myself to be a very traditional candidate - 3 years out of school, just below average GPA and just above average GMAT...
I work in the legal field, but moreso in a quantitative capacity than legal. I believe my work experience is very strong compared to most applicants my age.
