A reach, but chances ?

<p>Hi! I just discovered Hamilton- and got very excited until I I realized how immensely competitive it is. I'd just like to know if I have a shot or...not?</p>

<p>My GPA is a 3.5, SAT 2050, ACT 30. I've taken AP Government and Politics, English Honors for three years, Physics and Biology Honors, will be completing four years of German Language and four years of every 'recommended' subject; I am a rising senior and upon prompting from my guidance counselor, will be pursuing more AP's- English language and literature, Environmental Sciences, Art History and German. However, I am hispanic and fluent and spanish, work as a teaching assistant for a Spanish school, have done varsity cross country for four years (just got captain this year!) and work regularly for my church youth group program (aka, volunteering). I come from a suburban area and while attend a public high school, I'm not kidding when I say academics are intense. I'm also from New Jersey; and few from my school have heard of Hamilton. That's a good thing, right, to be the only one from my school, as opposed to living in New York? Let me know!</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot. We also are fron NJ and your numbers are close to my sons. He is the only student from his school to go to Hamilton but his high school has only had 2 classes graduate so far. Best of luck!</p>

<p>thank you! Good luck as well!</p>
